I'm running XBMC 11.0 on Linux Mint 12. Sound is going over HDMI out to my home theater system. Under system settings->audio output, both 'audio output device' and 'passthrough output device' are set to "HDA Intel - hdmi - 0 (ALSA)". It's the only setting that works.
When I first play a video, the sound works fine. If I skip forward/fast forward, the volume becomes inaudible. I have to turn my stereo up to its highest setting to hear anything, and even then, the volume is relatively low. All other videos now play at the same volume. I have the same problem if I stop watching the first video and watch another (without fast forwarding).
Music and navigation sounds are unaffected. Moreover, playing an audio file fixes the volume issue with videos. In other words, if I watch a video and hit fast forward/stop (creating the volume issue), I can go out, listen to a music file for two seconds, and then watch a video without issue (as long as I don't hit fast forward, etc).
The problem crops up on every video file I've tried, over a number of different formats. It also occurs on both XBMCbuntu and Linux Mint 12.
I'd greatly appreciate any insight into the problem. Thanks.
