Hello guys.
I had everything set with XBMC and hardy heron on my Soundgraph LC16 and it was amazing. Until I upgraded to latest packages of xbmc from ubuntu repository this weekend.
This is my hw specs: mb with Am2 socket, nvidia soundcard on board (disabled), audigy and spdif with pass-through, athlon 64 processor, ATI Radeon 9500 PRO AGP.
Right after upgrade mp3 stopped working, movies with mp3 were without sound. DVDs were playing good. I tried every solution I found to be possibly related. Nothing worked. So I upgraded to intrepid with do-distribution-release. After upgrade sound stopped working at all, I couldn't get it to work even in desktop. Again I was looking for solution and none of the suggestions were helping.
So I reinstalled intrepid x64 and started from scratch. And again, flustration with few issues:
1. fglrx is simply not working with my hardware (and it does with hardy), driver can't be loaded, so only choice is ati open-source driver.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sourc...bug/284408
2. starting XBMC with mediastream skin, movies section is broken, only black screen is presented. starting XBMC with clean config it works. but this means to do whole movie library again.
3. biggest issue - when starting playback of movies, after few seconds of playback and then moving forward/backward or pausing xbmc hangs with annoying repeating sound. similar issue is reported here:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=269...stcount=14
I thought that this is due to x64 of intrepid, so I reinstalled everything once again with i686, but same problems occurred again.
Please can anyone help me pointing me in the right direction, this is so flustrating, I just can't do without XBMC ..
