Video playing to fast in xbmc

virgink Wrote:Check out my posts on http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=30876&page=3 and see if that helps. Specifically you may want to add the following lines before running XboxMediaCenter.
I get the same behavior (no audio and fast playback without the following lines)

export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=ALSA
export XBMC_AUDIODEV=spdif
export XBMC_HOME=/home/ajay/XBMC/BUILD
./XboxMediaCenter -fs -q

Great! Thanks! That's the only way I get it working! The only thing I'm missing now is the menu navigation sounds, but as long as I can listen to music and have movies with passthrough, I can live with that!

Finally, XBMC for Linux is my default MediaCenter. Great!

I did the same but now I have lost the navigations sounds and still no music or video sound.

Sorry, should have included this from my debug.log

ALSA lib pcm.c:2144:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM ALSA

This happening in XBMC exclusively or no sound in Ubuntu in general? Can't really expect help here until your hardware is setup properly in Ubuntu.

I should have thought about my post a bit more. I have the HDA-Intel card that a lot of ubuntu users are having trouble with: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gutsy_Intel_HD_Audio_Controller

However I got it working by following the help in that link. All sound in ubuntu 7.10 works fine now

However in XBMC, I had sound from the menu beeps, but no sound from music or video files. I followed all the steps in this thread so far and after the last one, I lost all sound and still have the fast video play back too.

OK, I got the menu clicks back;

changing
export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=ALSA
to
export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa

still not sound from the music of video though
