ASRock E350M1 XBMCbuntu no sound

iceman1000 · 2012-05-01 11:20

Hello there!

I have an ASRock E350M1 with XBMCbuntu installed. Everything works just fine except for the audio! The E350M1 board is a dualcore E350 AMD platform wth a Realtek ALC892 chip.

I even tried to install a new ALSA driver (1.0.25-3), still doesnt work.

Could anyone help me with this?

What sound output do I have to choose in Eden for the plain stereo line out jack?

Thanks!

Don't you have tearing issues with video playback?

In terminal:

Code:

alsamixer

and unmute all devices.
Then

Code:

aplay -l

find the device you wish to use, remember the value for "card" and "device".

Then change the settings in XBMC as follows:

Code:

Custom audio device: plughw:"card","device"

Custom passthrough device: plughw:"card","device"

With "card" and "device" set to the values you found with aplay -l.

Thanks for your replies! Frustrated as I was I tried OpenELEC with XBMC now and still no sound - but incredibly fast boot time - 20 seconds compared to 60 seconds for xbmcbuntu.

Then I found a hint about turning off HDMI output in the BIOS and it did the trick! So sound works now!

@gmls: I don't have any issues with video?! What do you mean flickering / jitters? Although I didn't extensively watch videos yet, still installing/configuring...

I have the same tearing issues. It's when you are watching a movie and then press the tab button so the overlay screen is shown. The movie in the background will be shaking all the way.
Anyone a solution for this problem?

Try changing your refresh rate to 29.97, that worked for me.
