Sound broken - tjm4711 - 2014-10-31

Unfortunately suddenly my XBMCbuntu lost it's sound output by HDMI. Analog audio is working. Alsamixer shows that all levels are up. Any idea?

No ... you failed to read: "What should I do before posting".

Hint: Debug Log required.

Quote:Starting XBMC (13.0 Git:d420b5c). Platform: x86 Linux 32-bit

13.2 is stable...update and upgrade, then provide a new log please

disable VAAPI....you don´t need it, because you are on NVidia...VAAPI is for Intel. Enable VDPAU for hardware acceleration

How to upgrade XBMCbuntu? Interesting is that all settings are correct and it does not matter wheter I choose analog or hdmi output. Not in XBMC and neither in system settings. My Galaxy Tab 3 game edition works pretty well via HDMI on my Syncmaster.

Imho this happened after I upgraded the OS to 14.04 LTS. There seems to be an incompatibilty with XBMCbuntu. I could reinstall it but am fearing to kill my home directory that resides on an 1 TB HD, whereas system and software are running on a SSD.

Update and upgrade

first:

Code:
sudo apt-get update

then:

Code:
sudo apt-get upgrade

Looks like ALSA is all funky !! "Output Device : Device not found" is why there is no sound, but "trying to open device ALSA:@" looks wrong to me.

What is the output of aplay-L ?

RE: Sound broken - wsnipex - 2014-10-31

PulseAudio (wiki)

RE: Sound broken - tjm4711 - 2014-10-31

I am a sysadmin for 17 years. btw. I would not ask if I already had found a solution.

tjm@xbmc:~$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: 92HD81B1X5 Analog [92HD81B1X5 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

It's just HDMI that finished sending sound.

RE: Sound broken - fritsch - 2014-10-31

Read again what wsnipex linked you.

You don't have a ALSA problem, but a pulseaudio one.

If you do sysadministrating for 17 years, you are able to read one wiki page, right?

RE: Sound broken - tjm4711 - 2014-10-31

@wsnipex It's using ALSA, not PulseAudio.

RE: Sound broken - DaVu - 2014-11-02

Hey "sysadmin"...what's the matter? Speechless?

If not, we still wait for the log Wink

RE: Sound broken - tjm4711 - 2014-11-02

I already posted the log. And ALSA is the default in XBMCbuntu (Frodo). Pulseaudio is not used.

RE: Sound broken - wsnipex - 2014-11-02

you seem really resistant against advise and prove that you are wrong. Read your own log again, read what fritsch wrote.
