If you are August 11th, the sound clipping should not be a problem.
It was with older revisions. The one you have is new enough. Please provide a log when you have reproduced.

Hmm... Try recompiling XBMC without pulse support.
Make sure also to remove libpulse or whatever it is.. maybe sudo apt-get remove libpulse*.
Then recompile.

sudo apt-get remove libpulse*
Drops a lot of stuff uncluding xbmc-common.
I guess thats why I need to compile it myself in a different way.
I don't compile myself..I use the PPA. I will look into it when I have a few hours to read up on it.
Before that I will make a clean XBMCbuntu installation since that is what everybody else does. Will make it easier to compare test result with other people. I already run a minimal based ubuntu so biggest diff will be no GDM.

the only thing you need is runXBMC.sh which you can download from the svn.

if you cant get xbmc to start, it's usually runXBMC.sh that is missing, try doing in command prompt "sudo /etc/init.d/xbmc-live start" and you will see that its trying to run runXBMC.sh ..

Now it starts and works like normal!
Thank you very much.
Still get the shutter when opening a dvd.iso (this is the easiest test)
The reason why it was not stable in openbox was of course that NVIDIA was droppen along the way.

I'm using Ubuntu with the latest alsa drivers and xbmc SVN with sound over HDMI. The setup was working however i do not know what i've done but now i am only getting 2 audio channels out when playing 5.1 films - not getting the center channel or rears but only getting the left and right channels. Its definitely only the left and right 5.1 channels i'm getting as i'm not getting the main voices but just the sound effects. My receiver is not seeing a dolby digital signal now but was before.
XBMC live works fine once i change the audio settings to hdmi hdmi suggesting that there must be something in Ubuntu thats causing the issue.
Any ideas?
Cheers

The passtrough does not work in present svn PPA. Wait for new build, build your self or revert to older version.
There is a thread about this

vikjon0 - I'm getting the clipping when I stop watching/listening to content like you were. I'm using an Acer Revo 3610 and my sound is via SPDIF. I'm not clear if you managed to solve this above, or how you did it? Please advise if you can.
Thanks.
