Yesterday i installed XBMCBuntu Eden on my new AMD Fusion A6-3500 system. This morning i recognized i did not have any audio with SPDIF.
I did update my XBMCbuntu with PVR from Pulse-Eight packages but i don't know if this has anything todo with it.
Searching the forums i read in this topic that when i go to terminal and type 'alsamixer' SPDIF is muted. I unmute it, go to all the audio devices.
But it keeps saying 'Failed to initialize audio device'.
Can anyone help me out?
Fix:
Thx to Snippo in the first place to getting my audio back.
fritsch did gave me the proper work around.
If exist remove:
dpkg -l | grep asound
sudo apt-get remove --purge libasound2-plugins:i386
create /etc/asound.conf
System > Audio output:
go into xbmc change audio output to optical 5.1 check dts and ac3 capable if your receiver support it.
audio output device: Defaults (ALSA)
Passthrough output device: custom
Custom passtrhough device: hw:1,1
*1,1 [Card 1, Device 1 from "aplay -l"]
Be sure SPDIF is not muted as it was after the reinstall "alsamixer" to unmute.
And change the asound.conf to your needs by using "aplay -l" command without the quotes.
