Hey all,
I've been working on getting my XBMCbuntu installation up and running for the last couple of days, but the sound is consistently kicking my a*s. I have found plenty of forum posts (both here and elsewhere) about getting HDMI audio working in XBMC and Ubuntu, but none of them seem to fix my problem.
I have a mini-PC connected to a LCD TV via HDMI cable. Regardless of what settings I pick in the XBMC I never get sound on my videos. The navigation sounds are coming through on the analog output (I can hear them in my earphones when I plug them in). When I select analog in the audio output settings I can hear the videos on the earphones, but when setting it to HDMI I get nothing. There are no errors when playing the video then, just no sound.
I don't want to bombard the first post with log files and data so I'll just start it off with the basic aplay -l and aplay -L. Anyone able to offer any assistance?
