Try purging pulseaudio sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio then select HDMI (Alsa) in the audio settings in XBMC. It might be Alsa (HDMI) thinking about it!

"Passthrough Audio Device" is located below "Audio Output Device" in Settings > System > Audio. It is enabled if you choose a digital output type ("HDMI" or "Digital/Coax"). Generally, these two values should be the same.

Is there a file called .asoundrc in the user's home directory? If so, let's see it. It's hidden so be sure to check with "ls -a" or turn on hidden files in the file browser.

Then you made a typo. "speaker-test" comes with XBMCbuntu and every other installation of ALSA that I've ever seen. Always use auto complete when possible. At the shell, start typing "speaker" and then use tab to complete it. Then add the options.

Got it your right I can hear noise on 0,7 left speaker (what for sound should it make?) 0,3 i can hear nothing.
Lunix is great but the sound system sucks big time (i see allot of sound problems topics here)
