Hi,
I have installed XBMCbuntu on a Dell Optiplex 754 box and it's great! Just about everything worked OTB other than a few issues with the optical drive but that's another post! I haven't changed any of the hardware other than adding an Nvidia video card. My issue now is I only have sound from the right speaker ONLY when playing music. Movies videos and TV shows all play with stereo sound!? I'm sorry if this is a repeat post but I have done a lot of googling and searching.
The sound has been like this since I installed a fresh XBMCbuntu installation and I keep the system up to date. I have tried all the possible jack outputs on the PC with no answer. The cable is a stereo jack to jack, so its not the hardware. I have gone through every sound setting in XBMC and other than finding interesting combinations of sound/no sound/white noise nothing has resolved it.
I think it may have something to do with ALSA, but I may be wrong. I have check alsamixer and all the outputs are at 90% or higher except Mono, which is at 0% if I turn it up I hear the sound from XBMC from my PC!? Could it be the right channel? The sound card is an onboard HDA Intel AD1983.
I, hopefully, have included /use/share/xbmc/system/asound.conf
Hope someone can help
