Hello all,
I am new here and I am wondering if you can help me. I am running Natty 11.04 and I have an ATI GPU and AMD board. I heard that the new drivers within Eden would resolve past issues, but I am still having troubles. I just installed eden XBMC and it crashes when I try to play .MKV containers. I also cannot get it to play FLAC or .mp3 files from the music prompt. The music appears to be playing, but I cannot hear it.

Thanks for the help,
Naicidrac

Hi,

I had very similar crashes, on XBMC live. After deleting ~/.asoundrc (actually renaming it into something else), everything went OK.

Edit: file .asoundrc located in the home directory of the account used to run XBMC.
