Any idea how to set the XBMC home environment variable?
#1
Hi Guys, I've reinstalled the latest linux build. I've found that it complains of this XBMC_HOME environment variable not being set when I run xbmc in X. I found that my sound device also isn't picked up unless I run "sudo XBMC" in a terminal window.

Anyone have an idea how to set the XBMC_HOME environment variable and help solve my permission issue with the "PCM "not being recognized?

Don't worry about the message.

As far as running as root, don't do it. If it fixes your problem, figure out why. Good odds you aren't in the audio group.

sudo usermod -a -G audio xbmc

Replace "xbmc" with your login username.

I think it is better to run xbmc not as root.
