SOLVED No passthrough sound HDMI ATI - charlie0440 - 2012-05-30 Ive been pulling my hair out for days tring to get this to work. I must have read every HDMI thread on here and none have fixed my sound issues. I've tried 2 fresh installed nothing seems to fix it...... Anyway: I have sound in XBMC but only stereo. I currently have output set to ALSA (Defaults), and whatever I try doesn't seem to work. aplay- L Code: default aplay -l Code: **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** So I have tried as output & passthrough in XBMC: hdmi:CARD=Generic,DEV=0 alsa:hdmi:CARD=Generic,DEV=0 (this worked on my previous ubuntu) hdmi plughw:0,3 etc etc my asound.conf is currently empty or non existant. The wierd thing is in Ubuntu if i try: Code: speaker-test -D default -c6 -twav if I try Code: speaker-test -D plughw:0,3 -c6 -twav I have tried editing /etc/pulse/daemon.conf and changing: ; default-sample-channels = 2 ; default-channel-map = front-left,front-right to this ; default-sample-channels = 6 ; default-channel-map = front-left,front-right,rear-left,rear-right,front-center,lfe Please can anyone help, hardware & software: A6-3500, A75m-ITX, Ubuntu 12.04, Catalyst Control Centre 2.14 RE: No passthrough sound HDMI ATI - Plaguester - 2012-05-31 Is there an "hdmi (ALSA)" entry in XBMC? Try that one first if it exists. RE: No passthrough sound HDMI ATI - charlie0440 - 2012-05-31 (2012-05-31, 00:00)Plaguester Wrote: Is there an "hdmi (ALSA)" entry in XBMC? Try that one first if it exists. There is and after selecting this there is no sound. Even after a restart. I can get stereo sound from "Defaults (ALSA)" as the output But once I try a DTS or 5.1 or AC3 stream I have failed to initialize audio device - this is with "hdmi(ALSA)" as passthrough device Edit: Yes I have AC3 capable and DTS capable receiver selected RE: No passthrough sound HDMI ATI - Plaguester - 2012-06-01 I don't think your "aplay -L" output should list the card as "Generic" (the cards I have always list the manufacturer: NVidia, Intel, Creative...) . Did you install the drivers for your ATI card? RE: No passthrough sound HDMI ATI - charlie0440 - 2012-06-01 I have the properietry drivers installed from the system settings > additioanl hardware Catalyst Control Centre 2.14 Is there another way to install the drivers? RE: No passthrough sound HDMI ATI - FernetMenta - 2012-06-01 The outputs of aplay do look ok. My ATI system works with hdmi:Generic for pass through. Defaults (ALSA) as audio output asound.conf pcm.!default plug:hdmi:Generic RE: No passthrough sound HDMI ATI - Chainsawdave - 2012-06-01 Hi, I have a very similar set of issues (and have tried most of the same things) as Charlie0440. I was recomended to post in an ATI specif room. The advice I was given was that i did not ahve the ATI drivers. My aplay -l looks like this **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC892 Analog [ALC892 Analog] Subdevices: 0/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH],device 1: ALC892 Digital [ALC892 Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 2: Generic [HD Audio Generic], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Have tried plughw:2,3 in custom setting but no joy. So my two questions are: 1) How does one install audio drivers on a live install (ie I'm running xbmc off a USB drive as an installed program) 2)How can I FTP into the XBMC to look at the files like text files I creat with the aplay-L? Oh BTW I'm running ASRock H67M-ITX, 4GB Ram, A Radeon 6450 Graphics card Intel i3 2100 processor with Eden 11.0 I have HDMI connected to the graphics card and an optical Toshlink out for sound. Analog sound works fine using the generic driver. HDMI video works fine. The digital audio outputs give me nothing. Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated. i have been trying to get this to work off an on for 4 weeks RE: No passthrough sound HDMI ATI - charlie0440 - 2012-06-01 (2012-06-01, 11:27)FernetMenta Wrote: The outputs of aplay do look ok. My ATI system works with hdmi:Generic didn't work as passthrough Im starting to think its a Ubuntu problem, how can I install the ATI drivers? Is the proprietry drivers not all that is needed? RE: No passthrough sound HDMI ATI - charlie0440 - 2012-06-02 Ok some more results. If I open up a 5.1 movie with ubuntu movie player my amp shows LINEAR 44khz Same movie opened in VLC shows LINEAR 48khz Output device in VLC is HD-Augio-Generic, HDMI 0 HDMI Audio Output Sure my amp used to say "3/2.1" RE: No passthrough sound HDMI ATI - FernetMenta - 2012-06-02 (2012-06-01, 22:19)charlie0440 Wrote:(2012-06-01, 11:27)FernetMenta Wrote: The outputs of aplay do look ok. My ATI system works with Please post a debug log, I want to check for the message when XBMC tries to open hdmi:Generic. EDIT: you have configured pulse audio as default. In this case alsa pass through does not work because pa already uses the device.

AFAIK pa supports pass through since Eden. Don't you get suitable pa devices for pass through. Sorry I can't help with pa because I always remove it from my systems. RE: No passthrough sound HDMI ATI - charlie0440 - 2012-06-02 So do you recommend I remove it? how do I do this: sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio?

After removing pulseaudio i then had no devices listed for output in 'sound' settings let alone XBMC |
