Hi Everyone, I have worked out that I want to totally remove pulseaudio, after a lot of testing I have fount that no mater what I set or kill when I start xbmc it always starts up pulseaudio,,,,, if I "sudo pulseaudio remove" it wants to also remove the ubuntu desktop ? Will this cause me problems ? will it not allow me to login into ubuntu again ? I want to just use alsa as my sound setup.

Thanks uomairz,, I did read all these posts and went ahead and unistalled pulse audio bla bla bla.... It seemed to unistall it ok but, and Im sorry if this has been covered before, and I have tried every thing possible on every link and post I can find, I can get sound now through alsa on every thing else ie mplayer, rythem, totem.... but xmbc my audio setup is ice958 just like everyone elses, even changing this to defaut still has no sound in xbmc and the video plays really fast. Please if anyone knows how I can fix this please help me.... Im using ubuntu 9.04 jaunty, my sound card is a onboard I think its intel.
This is so frustrating ??
Cheers

So is the only way to get AC3 passthrough working to uninstall or kill Pulseaudio? Can't you somehow force xbmc to use alsa only?

Has anyone gotten pulse to work properly in Jaunty? I got everything working in Intrepid, and used pulse as my default output, and XBMC was playing just fine.
In Jaunty, I can get sound output from HDMI by setting HDMI as the default output, but pulse audio device chooser refuses to let me select HDMI as a sink. The option doesn't appear at all, only analog output.
Any ideas?

Pulse works perfectly well with XBMC and jaunty, I use it daily.
Pulse Audio does not however support digital passthrough, it's a known limitation and it might be true on digital pcm aswell, haven't ever tested to be sure.
This however aren't XBMC specific. If it works with paplay and not in XBMC it's worthy to discuss here, otherwise refer to distro specific forum or pulseaudio mailing list.
I'm closing this thread now, please open new threads when problems arise. Given that it works in paplayer but NOT in XBMC.
Cheers,
Tobias
