Hello,
Since the upgrade to Frodo, this is what i get at *every startup* of my HTPC:
- system (ubuntu) boots up
- xbmc is started automatically
- HDMI CEC adapter fails to start (this has always been the case)
- HDMI CEC adapter suddenly initialises (probably because some part of the usb drivers was not ready yet, not sure, don't really care)
- tv is turned on
- tv turns on receiver (this only works since i pulled the trick with the EDID in xorg)
- XBMC is ready to use. Till here, everything works fine
At this moment, i have no sound in XBMC. When i look at the audio settings, the sound device seems not to exist (sound over HDMI).
Next step i would do is kill -9 of XBMC (if i just stop it, it turns of my tv). When i start XBMC again, sound is working correctly and the audio device is present in the audio settings.
Do you have any idea what this could be? It is kind of annoying that i have to restart XBMC every time...
For me, it looks similar to the problem i had with the CEC adapter: when XBMC booted before it was ready (dont ask me what "ready" means), it didn't work. A few XBMC versions later, XBMC tried to start the CEC adapter regularly, which resulted in the behavior i have now (it fails first, but after a minute or so it suddenly succeeds)
uname -r : 3.2.0-37-generic-pae
debug log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1613994/
Additional info: my HTPC has an onboard intel HDMI card which is not used. I added an nVidia HDMI card in order to have surround sound. In the debug log, you can see that it is detected :
Here is a debug log from when i start XBMC manually (with sound working): http://paste.ubuntu.com/1614012/
If you need more details, please let me know. I really want to get this working :-)
Thanks a lot
