Edit: I solved this issue by doing sudo when I start xbmc. Wierd.

I upgraded my 2 year old install to the latest ubuntu 14.04.1 / xbmc 13.2 and everything except sound works fine.

I have turned up the volumes to max in alsamixer and turned up the volume on speakers and in XBMC

Audio output settings seems fine (Default (HDA NVidia ALC887-VD Analog)

But there is no sound whatsoever. What could I have missed? I also tried removing pulseaudio from a tip I got but no change.

make sure the audio device is unmuted in alsamixer. Else, pastebin a Debug Log

I have no mute on individual channles (They are Green, no M) and the auto-mute disabled in alsamixer and then I have full volume on master, front, center, side.

I will make a log tomorrow when I'm home from work as I only have SSH to work with atm and I saw logs is turned on inside xbmc.
