I have a vivopc i3 and xbmcubuntu 13.2. When I use airplay (music), I can see the soundtrack cover, and track is moving. It seems like it is playing but no sound comes out or sound is jerky. Same issue for youtube play or some video files that I got. Vivopc is connected to the TV with hdmi and I watch and listen everything thru tv at the moment. Please note that I already use only software accelerator at the playback settings. I couldn't find a solution since I am quite new. Thanks for your replies and solutions.

Thanks but how can I get the log file since I am running xbmcubuntu. Somehow I have to get the file with my win8 pc. Can I connect it with flashftp ? Thanks

Many ways to get the log, but this is probably easiest for you -> http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Log_file/Easy

[saneron67]

thank you. I will do it

Here it is debug xbmc.log:

There is nothing audio related in the log, please do some airplay playing and post the Debug Log afterwards again.

please upgrade the system by doing:

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

It seems that your hw acceleration is non working:

Code:

sudo apt-get install i965-va-driver vainfo

From the log you sent via mail:

Why do you force Audio Engine to 96 khz?

Please also provide:

Code:

DISPLAY=:0 /usr/lib/xbmc/xbmc-xrandr | pastebinit

Your TV seems to be only running in 25 hz which will be quite bad for every file that has more fps than those 25 -> e.g. youtube content.

[saneron67]

Thank you for the reply. I will let you know the result.

[saneron67]

The problem related to my videos are solved as soon I changed the resoltuion to 1280x720P@60Hz since it is my TVs native rate. Thank you for your advice. Regarding airplay my log is below.

Thank you

No idea concerning airplay. There is a common support thread for airplay in the general forum.

Why do you again force your audio sink to such a high sample rate out of curiosity?

[saneron67]

I have hi-rez flac music files. I will connect xbmc to external dac for audio. I haven't try it yet.

[fritsch]

forcing resampling is not very smart ...

[saneron67]

What should I select then. It seems like I have to.

I did your below recommended update. It was a long update. What's upgraded can u tell me. Is it still xbmcbuntu 13.2 gotham or became ubuntu + xbmc ?? Since I try to learn this new environment.

please upgrade the system by doing:
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

I have not yet following install since I try to understand where to write "Post: DISPLAY=:0 vainfo | pastebinit afterwards " is it a command line code ? whats the purpose of pastebinit ? Sorry but I try to understand.

Code:
sudo apt-get install i965-va-driver vainfo

Post: DISPLAY=:0 vainfo | pastebinit afterwards

[fritsch]

Just enter them both:

Code:

sudo apt-get install i965-va-driver vainfo pastebinit
DISPLAY=:0 vainfo | pastebinit

Keep your audio set to "Optimized" or if you are and audiophile set it to Best Match.
