I think this is what you are after:

EDIT: It says "retry with default hdmi:Generic"

I am using the following above:
output Defaults (ALSA)
passthrought hdmi:Generic

That's what I have expected. hdmi:Generic is the correct name when using ALSA but in your case the device can't be opened because you are having pa connected to it.
AFAIK pa supports pass through since Eden. Don't you get suitable pa devices for pass through. Sorry I can't help with pa because I always remove it from my systems.

So do you recommend I remove it? how do I do this:

sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio?

charlie0440 · 2012-06-03 13:24

SOLVED:
sudo apt-get autoremove pulseaudio
reboot

Full digital sound, DTS etc Smile

damn pulseaudio

This unfortunately did not work for me Sad

Fresh install of 12.04 today, all I can get is the menu sounds.
After removing pulseaudio i then had no devices listed for output in 'sound' settings let alone XBMC
