Hello XBMC users, I have just setup XBMCbuntu on a HTPC and I am getting no sound on the UI or playing movies.
Firstly my setup is the following:-
XBMCbuntu running on a Intel DG45FC mobo (which has onboard GPU etc).
HDMI cable running from the mobo HDMI port into a HDMI port on my Panasonic TV.
I don't have an amp or anything - I just want the audio to play through the TV speakers.
System Settings:
Audio output = HDMI
Speaker Config = 2.0
Boost volume level on downmix = checked
Dolby Digital capable receiver = unchecked
DTS capable reciever = unchecked
Now the confusing parts...
Audio output device: (this gives me a number of options which are)
HDA Intel - hdmi - 0, 1 or 3 (ALSA) --no idea what these different numbers mean
HDA Intel - iec958 - 0, 1 or 3 (ALSA)
iec958 (ALSA)
hdmi (ALSA)
HDA Intel - default - 0, 1 or 3 (ALSA)
Passthrough output device: (same options as above).
I've tried a few combinations and nothing is working.
Cheers
