I originally installed my XBMC using XBMCFreaks newest SVN build.
Last night, upgraded it to Dharma Beta 1.
Used 'Sudo apt-get update' and 'Sudo apt-get upgrade'
All sound has been lost yet again.
Anyone else had this and how do I fix it? Should I reinstall AGAIN with XBMCFreak? Or can I just downgrade Dharma to the previous SVN that worked?
If so? How? I'd rather not do a fresh install again.
Everything was perfect yesterday until the upgrade.
My Revo is connected to my Amp via HDMI.

Hi,
I also got sound issues with the Dharma beta and the asrock ion. However i use it with Ubuntu.
I finally got stereo to work through optical, but not ac3. I have exactly the same settings as I used to. IEC as output device. Any advise?

You should have done,
"sudo apt-get update"
"sudo apt-get install xbmc"
Using upgrade can sometimes cause problems.
cheers

I'm not running a Revo but a couple of weeks ago after a kernel update I lost my sound. It was resolved by adding my user the the audio group.
This probably isn't the case for you. When you did the apt-get update did it also update your kernel? If so you might try booting the previous kernel.

Or try recompiling the alsa drivers. The sources are in the root user directory I think. Enter it and type:
sudo ./configure; make; make install
Then reboot.

Please don't try random guesses. Try the Beta1 LiveCD. We don't know what XBMCFreak does, so we could only speculate.
Try the official cd and post a log before going any further.

I dont think alsa is the problem, but then again I have aversion to using stuff that I know doesnt work.
I would look at the usual suspects like /etc/asound.conf

I redid partition on HD on my REVO that i've been running from usb stick.
I tried the Dharma beta and was unable to get any audio with any combination of the new settings. Frustrated I have put the stick back in for my Camelot rev.
I donth have HDMI atm so I'm running DVI(via adapter) and phono jack for audio. NOt really problem on Camelot rev.
I'd like to try beta more, but no audio is pretty big deal breaker.

I think what happened is, that after he did the apt-get update; apt-get upgrade, the kernel got upgraded, and that broke the alsa driver modules. It's what happened to me after installing the Beta1 Live. A quick check to see if the drivers are loaded, is to try and see if alsamixer works. If not, then recompiling the alsa drivers should fix it. Beta1 are using Alsa 1.0.23 while Lucid comes default with 1.0.21, so this might be why it broke.

Dharma already uses 1.0.23. Please no more speculation without a debug log.
