[LIVE] Acer Revo 3610 HDMI Audio working under Dharma

Th3R00st3r · 2011-11-23 04:56

Just an update. I added my modeline for my TV (Samsung LN52A630) modes to xconf.org. Between that and removing and reinstalling the Nvidia drivers I now have smooth playback of about 98% of the videos(480,720,1080) with sound. I noticed the ones that still drop audio are the ones with aac audio encoding. DTS, and AC3 work fine. Thanks for all the posts, without them I wouldn't have figured this out.

:confused2:Just wondered if anyone has gotten btdonovan's fix to work with a Acer Revo 3600. I recently installed a live version of Eden Beta 3, managed to get most sound working through my AVR with my Acer connected to my Samsung TV. Still getting stuck though, have no sound working on my DTS files! I'm still a bit of a newbie at this. Rolleyes

, spent most of yesterday changing Audio Output settings, but I still can't get everything working.

Hoping there is someone out there with a similar problem that can point me in the right direction or has an answer.

Any help will be much appreciated! Wink

Thanks!

For any users experiencing issues with their sound config on Acer Revo units I would suggest taking OpenELEC for a spin.

I did this on my lounge based R3610 (running from a front loaded SD card to leave the W7 install intact) and can say that it performed straight out of the box.

Previously I've had versions of the XBMCfreak cds and XBMC 10.1 LiveCD and have found them all to have their issues.

One of the slickest things with OpenELEC is that the relevant directories (eg for advancedsettings.xml etc) are all exposed via shares over the network so you shouldn't have to SSH in if you want to tweak the setup. It also boots incredibly quickly, even running from a cheapo SD card (unlike 10.1 LiveCD which my family quickly learned to hate).

Thanks, OpenElec seemed to work well. I even got menu sounds working which didn't before. Still having a problem with some of my files, music works, but all of the voice audio sounds really quiet (sometimes silent) and echoey. Confused
