#1
Please see below setup. I have a full ubuntu 10.04 desktop and xbmc 10 dharma installed. My desktop sounds and xbmc navigation sounds dont work. also addons sound do not work

Please see below

xbmc setup on an onkyo 606 via hdmi

using xswat
nvidia driver version is 260.19.29

my xbmc setting are

audio output hdmi
speaker configuration 5.1
boost volume level on downmix check
dolby digital (AC3) capable receiver check
DTS capable receiver check
audio out device custom
custom audio device plughw:0,3
passthrough output device custom
custom passthrough device plughw:0,3

in my /etc folder I have the below for asound.conf (should there be a . in front to hide this file? dont know if that makes a difference or not)

Code:
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave {
pcm "hdmi"
}
}

I also added in my home directory a .asoundrc file and it has

Code:
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave {
pcm "hdmi"
}
}

found a thread which says the below might fix it. does this work


Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-current-modaliases nvidia-settings
sudo wget http://pastebin.com/download.php?i=f5f9654bb -O /etc/asound.conf
sudo wget http://pastebin.com/download.php?i=f2e38265 -O /usr/share/alsa/cards/HDA-Intel.conf

I already have x-swat installed so do I just need to do a sudo apt-get update and the rest of the commandsHuh

ok I did the below commads and now I get sound on my desktop via youtube etc.. however still no navigation sounds.

Code:
sudo wget http://pastebin.com/download.php?i=f5f9654bb -O /etc/asound.conf
sudo wget http://pastebin.com/download.php?i=f2e38265 -O /usr/share/alsa/cards/HDA-Intel.conf

it changed my etc/asound.conf to the below

Code:
pcm.!hdmi-remap {

type asym

playback.pcm {

type plug

slave.pcm "remap-surround71"

}

}



pcm.!remap-surround71 {

  type route

  slave.pcm "hw:0,3"

  ttable {

    0.0= 1

    1.1= 1

    2.4= 1

    3.5= 1

    4.2= 1

    5.3= 1

    6.6= 1

    7.7= 1

  }

}

what settings should I be using in xbmc to be able to get navigation sounds and hdmi sound?
