Hi,
I am new to XBMC and everything worked fine until I tried to activate HDMI Audio. At first, in audio settings I changed both audio output device and passthrough device to custom.(hdmi:CARD=NVidia) and HDMI audio playback worked for music and video. Exept that at every second song the initialization of the audio device failed. I still don't know why.
I used the XBMC Wiki to do that because I wanted to have the Menu Sounds and was hoping to get rid of the initialization error(music playback). Now that I have done all steps described in the wiki, I only have menu sound and every time i start a video/song, the initialization of the audio device fails.
My Setup:
XBMCBuntu with XBMC 11.0 Eden
Geforce 610 GT connected via HDMI to a Sony AV Receiver, which is connected via HDMI to my TV.
Onboard Sound disabled
Alsamixer SPDIF is not muted
aplay -l
/etc/asound.conf & ~/.asoundrc are both the same:
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
Can anyone tell me what to do? I tried everything to undo the changes I made but it still doesnt work.
I would appreciate your help!
Cheers!
