Sound no longer working

If it doesn't work anywhere, then please goto ubuntu forums to see if they can help you.

Thanks!

That way incompatible samples (non 44.1/48Khz) get converted and sound plays also fine for youtube for example. ac3 goes directly through the iec958 device so it can be decoded by the avr.

i had that weird bug only once - and 'iecset audio on' fixed it for me.

Thanks Haggy, if it happens again I will try the 'iecset audio on'. Sorry to go off topic - but does 'output to all speakers' work for you with MP3s?

Output stereo to all speakers is only for xbox iirc.

You should be able to accomplish what you want with a customer .asoundrc file.

Thanks - you actually already told me that here

Unfortunately I tried the .asound suggestions in the Ubuntu post you linked and it messed up other stuff so I was wondering if Haggy had it working. If anyone does have this working, please move discussion to the thread above.

[Edit: Sorry, missed the part where you asked for the discussion to move. Can a mod delete this?]

Honestly, i never tried that because i don't like it. IMHO music has to be played as meant by the artist: In stereo But you may try the 'surround51' or 'surround40' plug device alsa created for you.

Hi again

well it turns out that i did have sound but just digital and the only solution that worked for me is the .asoundrc by tslayer. The thing is if i remove the rc file after a reboot the sound is lost again.. if i leave it it seems to work after a reboot..i understood it can cause problems if its left in the home dir...how big of an issue is this?

thx again

Hi ^^
I'm having a probleme with sound too
I got sound only with root user.
Seem to be a probleme with alsa ....
I've tried to chmod 666 /dev/snd/*, added user to audio groupe and .asoundrc but no sound at all.

I'am using a p5kpl-am (intel g31) with latest svn xbmc

debug line from my user:
ERROR: Initialize - pcm_open_lconf, alsa error: -2 - No such file or directory

thks for this great apps

Ced2911: As you generally have no sound (or only with the root user), you might be better off asking for help in the ubuntu forums or whatever distro you're using. this is not an xbmc issue as with the other guys.

it's just happen with xbmc not with mplayer or vlc but i will try
thanks
