I have a new Google Nexus 7 tablet, and the sound SUCKS big time. It is screeching, low... I have tried everything.
I also have XBMC on Windows. Linux (RedHat), my other two (2) Samsung phones and everything works just fine.
And the Nexus (or the Smasung tablets I read about) are not some "No Name" tablets.
Yes, this is an issue, and don't just jump to conclusions. It might be more helpfull for such a XBMC Guru as yourself to send me the link to the proper article (but not to the link you already sent because there is ZERO pertinent info) and think that some of us just want the thing to work, and we do not want to super configure our appliance.
Whoa whoa whoa, where are you getting all of that? And why do you think insulting me is going to get you any help? High horse? No. Jaded from answering the same question, and sometimes a bit snippy? Yes. For being snippy, I apologize, but I assure you that I'm not on any horse.
I'm not jumping to conclusions? What are you talking about? At the time of the writing, the issue for that user was known and was fixed by installing the libstagefright test build. Now libstagefright (and another, called MediaCodec) are enabled in the
nightly builds (wiki).
I don't believe I called the Nexus 7 or Samsung tablets noname? They're actually quite nice, and I hold them in high regard.
The
Android FAQ (wiki) link at the time I posted my message used to contain a message with a link to the libstagefright builds. Since libstagefrignt is enabled in nightly builds, that message was removed and replaced with messages that encouraged users to try the nightly builds instead (I believe it's noted twice, once under the "can this do 1080" section, and again under the install section.
The pertinent info on that page includes using a
nightly build (wiki) and, more importantly, the location of the
debug log (wiki). It's not about power user configurations. XBMC for Android is still what I would consider experimental and in a test-state, at least for most devices. If you are looking for something that "just works", then dear god, don't use XBMC.
Since I'm not on any high horse, I'm still willing to help you with your issue, despite you being a jackass about it. As far as I know, there is no sound issue on the Nexus 7, but I could be wrong. The last time I had access to one XBMC played wonderfully using a
nightly build (wiki) and default configurations.
In general, "static" or sharp/weird sounds would indicate that XBMC might be trying to send raw "passthrough" audio formats. I would check XBMC -> Settings -> System -> Audio output, and make sure the "passthrough" options are turned off. If this does not fix the issue then please post a
debug log (wiki) of when you hear bad audio in XBMC, such as just playing any given video where you experience the issue.
