I am experiencing some audio issues with XBMC 9.04.1.
I have my system running audio through HDMI with my HD TV. I seem to have no audio problems with apps other than XBMC.
First, I almost never hear any startup or navigation sounds. When I had the system connected to a computer monitor and typical desktop computer speakers, I always heard those sounds.
Second, I receive error messages from XBMC when I try to play AVI videos from my Canon PowerShot A590IS digital camera. The message is a sliding pop-up saying "Failed to initialize audio device. Check your audio settings."
I had no such problems when I had the system connected to a computer monitor and typical desktop computer speakers.
XBMC has no problems playing the audio through HDMI with TV recordings (AVI files created with mencoder), DVDs, and DVD ISO images. XBMC won't play the audio only with the camera movies.
The camera records movies with a format of:
Stream #0.0: Video: mjpeg, yuvj422p, 640x480, 20 tbr, 20 tbn, 20 tbc
Stream #0.1: Audio: pcm_u8, 11024 Hz, mono, s16, 88 kb/s
I can play the camera videos in other apps and hear the audio.
When I try to play the camera videos the logs show a continual repeat of "WARNING decode -avcodec_decode_video didn't consume the full packet . . ."
Because I never had audio problems with the external speakers and only through HDMI, I suspect both problems are related.
System info:
Slackware 13.0 (32-bit), KDE 4.2.4, 2.6.30.5 kernel, XBMC 9.04.1. Asus M3N78-EM motherboard with an Nvidia GeForce 8200/8300 MCP78S chip set, AMD 5050e dual core CPU, 2GB RAM.
I am very much an XBMC newbie. I'll try to provide additional info as requested.
Thanks much.
