I compiled the linuxport svn yesterday (revision 12016) no i have a problem with playing .mp3 and .flac musicfiles.

No matter what song i play it's 10% too fast
every 10 seconds of a song is played in 9 seconds in real time.

I doesn't matter if i use the paplayer of de dvdplayer

My hardware is a asus m3n78-em with a amd athlon x2 5050e
connected with hdmi cabel to my television.

Does someone have the same problem and/or has found a soulution

please submit Debug Log.

It´s probably because your HDMI device is only capable of 48khz while your audio is in 44.1khz. this would yield about 10% diff.

Cheers,
Tobias

i have the same problem, i will post the debug later.

is there a work around? can xbmc resample the music on the fly?

[Pete_London]

put this:

<advancedsettings>
<audio>
<resample>48000</resample>
</audio>
</advancedsettings>

in .xbmc/userdata/advancedsettings.xml

Fixes it every time

Thanks for this, I was having the same issue (just set up my first Revo).

[topfs2]

Another solution is to put plugged:0,3 as device in audio hardware settings, this will fix mono playback aswell

[Pete_London]

@Topfs2:

I've seen this elsewhere but have never tried it... can you explain it a little more?

Many thanks,

Pete

go into audio hardware settings and overwrite the "default" device for audio output with "plug:0,3"

passthrough should read "hdmi"

this is such a common problem with HDMI audio, that as long as XBMC doesn't allow a drop down selection for ALSA audio output devices, we really should think about making this sticky with screenshots, guys...

[Pete_London]

I did that... and then any movie I tried 'could not initialise audio device'

[Hannes The Hun]

that usually happens when you input in upper case letters or else mess up the exact name of the device you're gonna be using

depending on the recognized audio hardware and the installed ALSA version, you will have some options including but not limited to (in case of nvidia HDMI audio) "hdmi", "plug:'hw:0,3'", "hw:0,3", "plughw:0,3" where the numbers for cardnumber/identifier and device can be variable (subdevice is usually not necessary/applicable)

[see also http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/alsa-lib/pcm.html (scroll down)]

also, you have to make sure via the aplay output which available audio device you want to use

edit: I corrected some bullshit I wrote about the various alsa interfaces. my fault.

plughw:0,3 worked for me, after trying plug:0,3 which didn't. (Running on a Revo)

Thanks again

[Hannes The Hun]

please correct the typing in your post in case somebody stumbles about it via the search function

edit: thanks a lot!

[Hannes The Hun]

edit: I corrected some of the stuff I wrote about ALSA interfaces and device names in my previous post

[Pete_London]

plughw:0,3 worked for me, after trying plug:0,3 which didn't. (Running on a Revo)

yup... worked on my Revo too... thanks guys...

[althekiller]

topfs2, of course, has a shit memory like most of team xbmc. He meant plughw.
