asound config for Kodi on NVIDIA ION Mini ITX system?
#1
I have a system with NVIDIA ION Mini ITX (ZOTAC IONITX-A-U Atom 330 1.6GHz).
After I have upgraded my XBMC to Kodi, I started to have issues with my default asound config file. I am getting video but not sound via HDMI.
Does anyone know what have changed and what I need to update to get sound back? I have 5.1 sound system, which is connected through AV receiver via HDMI to computer which runs Kodi.

Here is my asound so far:
(which I got from here: http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Remap_HDMI_...ON_-_Linux)
Code:
pcm.hdmi_hw {
    type hw
    card=0
    device=3
}

pcm.hdmi_dmix {
        type dmix
        ipc_key 5678293
        ipc_key_add_uid true
        ipc_perm 0660
    ipc_gid audio
        slave {
        channels 6
        pcm {
            format S16_LE
            rate 48000
            nonblock true
            type hw
            card 0
            device 3
        }
        period_size 1024
        buffer_size 8192
        }
}

pcm.hdmi_direct {
    type plug
    slave {
        pcm hdmi_hw
    }
        ttable.0.0 1
        ttable.1.4 1
        ttable.2.1 1
        ttable.3.3 1
        ttable.4.2 1
        ttable.5.5 1
}

pcm.hdmi_shared {
    type plug
    slave {
        pcm hdmi_dmix
    }
        ttable.0.0 1
        ttable.1.4 1
        ttable.2.1 1
        ttable.3.3 1
        ttable.4.2 1
        ttable.5.5 1
}

pcm.!default {
    type plug
    slave {
        pcm hdmi_dmix
    }
        ttable.0.0 1
        ttable.1.4 1
        ttable.2.1 1
        ttable.3.3 1
        ttable.4.2 1
        ttable.5.5 1
}

Provide a kodi.log (Debug Log) and aplay -L and aplay -l
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

In doubt use pulseaudio - it has those workarounds since ages.
