Is it related to this error : "CAESinkALSA::InitializeHW - Unable to find a suitable output format" ?

If you are seeing

"WARNING: CDVDMessageQueue(audio)::Get - asked for new data packet, with nothing available"
and
"ERROR: CAESinkALSA::InitializeHW - Unable to find a suitable output format"

The player may have a sample rate mismatch. This started in XBMC 12 Frodo. I saw this occur with some videos that would play slowly frame by frame with no audio. Many online audio streams would not play. I have a Dell Dimmension 8400 with internal sound card ICH6.

Welcome

This is outdated since its about RC2 and many audio fixes went in after this. So try 12.1 and with a suitable kernel for Intel Audio which is 3.8 or greater and has ctlindex patches to alsa conf for hd audio if applicable.
