Hardware : ASROCK A330
connected via optical cable to receiver.
Software : XBMC Live 10.0 installed to HDD
Problem : There was no problem for the last 3 weeks, then suddenly the PCM audio stopped working. No mp3 audio from avi files, or soundfx in menus.
AC3, AAC & DTS audio are all fine.
In Audio Mixer the IEC958 is not available. That is it is listed, but there is no slider. The slider was there when I first installed to HDD as I had to unmute it to get PCM sound. No here we are 3 weeks after install, and IEC958 slider has disappeared. The mute button is still there, just not the volume slider.
This has been a recurring problem with my ASROCK ION setting, and a similar thing would happen in previous versions of XBMC. I never fully figured it out. I've just had to reinstalled XBMC many times :-(
Any ideas on how to solve this PCM sound problem? Do I need to create an asound.rc file? Did such a file exist and somehow get deleted after 3 weeks?
Thanks in advance for any tips!
