since hw:1,7 was the only one working :

Quote:[root@davnix ~]# cat /etc/asound.conf
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm {
type hw
card 1
device 7
}
}



this is what i get in xbmc.log

You shouldn't need asound.conf at all, rename it and reboot. Also get rid of pulseaudio unless you have some real need for it (if you are just running xbmc, you have no need of it).

Then tell us what all the options in XBMC's audio setup are.

It is needed to make any other software on the computer understand to use the HDMI output. The "default" device is usually the motherboard's analog output, hence the need to change it by using asound.conf.

@nickr: are you using Eden? If so you should upgrade cause no one likes to support obsolete software.

We are talking about getting sound working in xbmc not in other programs. And no I am not using Eden. The original poster may be though.
