Help No sound with Samsung HDTV

Ok I've had a look at the logs.

1st of all your LG reports it can do 5.1 & AC3 and the Samsung 2.0 & LPCM only, so can you post a screenshot of your Audio settings so I can verify them.

I can't see any reason why music wouldn't work,the major difference I see surround the video playback with some "GENERAL_SYNCHRONIZE" and "GENERAL_RESYNC" messages in the log for connected to Samsung TV that I wouldn't normally expect, and the log for the connected to LG TV does not have.

I suspect this could be one smoking gun.

I have no real idea what these mean, but I'd start off by checking the "Video -> Playback" settings

Do you have any of the "Adjust display refresh rate to match video" or "Sync playback to display" settings enabled?

Thanks for taking the time to look at the log files!

The cloned XBMC PC is still currently connected to the LG TV downstairs however please see the screen shots below:

Ok I don't see any issues there.

I'm afraid I'm out of ideas for the moment.

I could move this thread into the Linux forum if you wish to see if there's greater response from the Linux guys.

Yeah sure if you think that might help.

If I can't get the audio working via HDMI with the Samsung TV ?

As a work around maybe I can use the analogue audio out of the PC instead, I did try connecting a 3.5 mm jack to back of PC but got no sound either.

Wasn't sure if I needed to do anything other than set in XBMC the audio output device to be the analogue one.

Cheers

Ok, I've moved the thread & hopefully you'll have more luck in getting this fixed.

I've shot a YouTube video you will see clearer what the problem is

Hi, I am unsure whether your issue is resolved yet or not but I recently had a similar issue with audio playback on a Samsung tv when switching between tv's (both Samsung). Sound was great on the smaller test tv but would not work on the 50", after checking every input setting at least six times I exited xbmc while connected to the 50" and discovers that the speaker output in windows 7 had turned itself to mute. Having clicked it back on there were no more issues. Hope it may be of use to you.

Hi

No I never resolved the issue with this TV and have sound coming out of a stereo amp instead. I am on Linux however.

Cheers
