XBMC Live Dharma 10.1 Emulation

when i didnt have sound in my emulators i also didnt have sound in my menus (im using optical however).

im also using 10.1 dharma and menu sounds and emu sounds are working.

originally i just had to install libsdl1.2debian-alsa.

also, make sure the proper things are unmuted in alsamixer (menu sounds and emulator sounds were muted by default by me)

sorry i cant help much more then that.

try this
in terminal


Add:

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

[HTML]Ctrl + o (y then enter)
Ctrl + x[/HTML]

Reboot and set the audio setting to how they were working before for movies and try good luck
P.s. What setup you running ?

Still no go The sound worked for movies this time though, when I had the .asoundrc file and the Audio output set to hdmi and the passthrough set to hdmi or plughw:0,3.

I have never had the menu sounds work with Dharma 10.1 and I made sure they weren't turned off. I hooked up a keyboard and mouse but I was unable to get to the drop down menus on the emulators.

My setup is an Acer Aspire R1600, running XBMC Dharma 10.1 Live.

Did you install the xbmc live from here or the xbmc freak version. The reason I ask is the xbmc freak comes with the latest nvidia drivers which could fix you'r problems. My only advice left is look into updating the nvida drivers or re-installing xbmc-freak version .

I downloaded the version from xbmc.com. Is updating the drivers pretty easy? or does that involve a lot of work?

I guess I could reinstall it again. Where would I find that release? Thanks

Ive personaly not had much luck with updating the nvidia drivers on my revo 3600. But I did manage to do it on a revo 3700 that was ion2. Im not a linux guru just picked up everything from this forum and others. Remember that xbmc live is still ubuntu so sometimes searching in ubuntu related forums cant help.
Go here for the xbmc maverick build (latest ubuntu kernel) With the updated nvidia drivers. After installing see it it works out the box if not follow my 1 guide and try good luck fella.

Is there really a relevant example where upgrading nvidia fixed sound in emulator/other when movie sound is already working?

If you have experienced this fine, I am not an expert but it sounds strange

No example, just puzzled me Ive tried all remedies that worked for me to no avail. Thought maybe updating the ion drivers would help but for the life of me cant give a vaild reason why that would work. Just trying to help the geezer out.

If you have any ideas fire away, my original post is how I got sound working for emulators, firefox and boxee but it doesnt seem to work his 1600 I have a 3600.

Also xbmcfreak uses maverick and not dharma I have read in previous posts that dharma can break the required sound so its deff woth a go as a last resort if like me you cant stop till its all working.

Ok, perhaps it will help, I have no idea.

But I have never seen another workaround for nav sound than an asoundrc and it should work if done correctly. The numbers depends on the HW of course.

Yeah, I also feel like if the sound works for the movies, when I'm using the .asoundrc file and the different settings, I would think it should work for the emulators. What are those commands trying to do when I set them up in the .asoundrc file? I would like to avoid reinstalling since I have a ton of media already added and organized and I have this setup the way I like it.
