- I have Asus M3A78-EM Motherboard that have ATI HD3200 graphic card.
- I use HARDY HERON to xbmc (Intrepid has bugs with my ATI HD3200 card in fullscreen modes for xbmc). I enabled HDMI sound, umutting IEC958 device. In Preferences=>Sound, I test HDMI ATI, and there is sound by HDMI (at my HDTV). If I use rythmbox, totem, or any software that has sound playing, is listened by the HDTV speakers.
- The problem is only at XBMC. I use ppa xbmc packages for hardy. There is no sound inside xbmc.No sound effects, no sound for playing music, no sound in videos. If I choose in Sound Hardware DIGITAL or ANALOGIC there is no change.
- After this problem, I made some tests. This motherboard has 2 soundcard devices. The first primary soundcard, with common 6 outputs, and HDMI soundcard device. For tests, I disable first soundcard device. I start system, and only 1 device was. alsamixer shows me only HDMI audio, and Preferencies=> Sound too. But XBMC no sound. I choose at xbmc sound hardware options, digital and analogic too, and:
default sound device = default
passthrough = iec958
I try some combos => default/default, default/iec958, iec958/default, iec958/iec958... I try analogic, digital... inside xbmc.
Only xbmc is the problem, all apps and sounds works by hdmi, before disable first sound card and after.
What's the problem?
