[Solved][50€ to XBMC] Help me fix my audio - mac666 - 2012-04-21 Hello. 50€ to xmbc if the issue is fixed. Ive had this issue for quite some time, and it got worse in Xbmc Eden. Heres a short clip where i force my issue to come: http://youtu.be/w0_LL62wfXs Issue: When i stream movies/audio , local via smb or from youtube et c, the sound quality suddenly drops when i resume / start. As you can here in the video i tried to record, the sound becomes indistinguishable (i think is the correct word for it) Note, the video is recorded in Dharma. Since in Eden this problem is to big, 1-2 resumes and the audio is bad. I have Asus AT5IONT-I mobo, and it doesnt matter if i use xbmclive, xbmcbuntu (new), ubuntu, openelec... Right now, when the audio quality becomes bad, i have 2 choices to make it right: reboot or disconnect hdmi / reconnect. Log output on the secounds the issue apears: Quote:16:23:02 T:3021776704 M:2812039168 DEBUG: CAnnouncementManager - Announcement: PlaybackResumed from xbmc Please, if anyone knows anything about this, please do tell me or point me. i had this issue for about 1 year on this system and its killing me! RE: [50€ to XBMC] Help me fix my audio - bobo1on1 - 2012-04-21 I can't watch the youtube video, it says the video is private. RE: [50€ to XBMC] Help me fix my audio - menace - 2012-04-21 Yeah, same here with the YouTube video - private. It also sounds abit like a driver issue more than an XBMC issue. What would be interesting to know is if you can reproduce the issue using VLC? RE: [50€ to XBMC] Help me fix my audio - Plaguester - 2012-04-21 To what device is the HDMI cable connected? Does the sound quality drop occur in other applications? What distro are you using at the moment? Does your setup contain a custom ALSA config file (/etc/asound.conf or ~/.asoundrc on Ubuntu distros)? Post your settings from Settings > System > Audio Output in XBMC. Post the output of: Code: $ aplay -l Also, make that video public. RE: [50€ to XBMC] Help me fix my audio - mac666 - 2012-04-22 Hello, thank you for the replies. The video can now be displayed. http://youtu.be/w0_LL62wfXs Currently, i have openelec installed, since there is where i have had least issues with this. My XBMC audio settings is asound.conf Quote:pcm.!default {modprobe.d/sound.conf Code: options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=0 probe_mask=0xffff,0xfff2 aplay -l Code: **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** aplay -L Code: null RE: [50€ to XBMC] Help me fix my audio - mac666 - 2012-04-22 i cannot reproduce this issue in xbmcbuntus ubuntu, only in xbmcbuntu xbmc, follow me? :-) Tried in VLC and youtube in chrome but the sound works great... but in xbmc i get this issue after 1-2 pauses / resume / timeskip. RE: [50€ to XBMC] Help me fix my audio - Plaguester - 2012-04-22 Rename /etc/asound.conf to /etc/asound.conf.bak. It appears to be incorrect based on the "aplay -l" output. After doing so, reboot into XBMC and check that your audio is still working with a local file. Then try the stream again. Is the HDMI from the PC connected directly to the TV or to a receiver?

Then try the stream again. thank you, i did what you said and i still have sound in openelec. I think the xbmcbuntu asound conf is fine as it is. How ever, this issue seems not only to be with streaming videos. i can reproduce this problem with a local .mkv file... The htpc is connect with hdmi to TV. Doesnt matter whether i connect to reciver or tv, the issue is the same. RE: [50€ to XBMC] Help me fix my audio - mac666 - 2012-04-22 After 10L of tears of blood, after 30h pulling hair and psychotic screams, after several nightmares, after +5 different forum threads i think i might have solved it.... The solution you ask? Well... Seems as my 2€ HDMI cable is better then my 30€ HDMI cable. Yes, you read right... It was the HDMI cable. I cannot reproduce the problem anymore. Openelec, xbmcbuntu, youtube, mkv, et c. works fine. If i switch back to the old HDMI (The expensive one) I get the issue right away. |
