Digital audio output problem on Intel DG45ID motherboard and SPDIF. - James Su - 2009-02-20 I'm using the latest svn (17896) version of XBMC, compiled by myself. Overall, it works great. Thanks a lot for your great work. My hardware is: Intel DG45ID motherboard, Intel E8400 CPU. Using SPDIF to connect to my Amplifier which supports AC3/DTS decoding. I'm using openSUSE 11.1 64bit version. I enabled Digital output in XBMC and it works without any problem when playing videos with AC3/DTS audio channels. However there is no sound when playing videos with only mp3 encoded audio and any audio discs, even DTS-CD. Is there anyone know how to fix this problem? Thanks a lot. - James Su - 2009-02-20 My aplay -L output is: front:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, STAC92xx Analog Front speakers surround40:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, STAC92xx Analog 4.0 Surround output to Front and Rear speakers surround41:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, STAC92xx Analog 4.1 Surround output to Front, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround50:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, STAC92xx Analog 5.0 Surround output to Front, Center and Rear speakers surround51:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, STAC92xx Analog 5.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround71:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, STAC92xx Analog 7.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Side, Rear and Woofer speakers null Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture) aplay -l output is: **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: STAC92xx Analog [STAC92xx Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: STAC92xx Digital [STAC92xx Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 I have no .asoundrc and /etc/alsa.conf file. mplayer works without problem for all media files by specifying -ao alsa:device=spdif. - James Su - 2009-02-20 Found that changing output device from default to spdif solves the problem. However playing DTS-CD audio will output just noise and APE audio don't work at all. Is it a bug or unsupported feature? - bjoneson - 2009-02-21 James, I'm also using openSuSE 11.1 x86_64. I know I struggled a bit getting everything working through SPDIF. Are you using pulseaudio? I actually removed it, and compile xbmc w/ --disable-pulse, and just use alsa. I'll try to look through my config files to give you an example of what I've done to get it working. As of right now I have everything PCM (2 channel) menu sounds and audio, as well as AC3 / DTS passthrough. - bjoneson - 2009-02-21 I did end up putting this in .asoundrc in my home directory (for the user that runs xbmc): PHP Code: pcm.!default { I got the card / device from using aplay -l: PHP Code: settop1:/home/bjoneson # aplay -l You might give that a roll and see if it gets you anywhere. - proctor - 2009-02-23 When I was using x64 Ubuntu, I had intermittent problems with the SPDIF dropping out, whenever xbmc crashed or after playing certain files. I would lose all menu sounds and mp3/wav encoded audio. The most reliable way to get all sound back was to make an .asoundrc file with this: pcm.!default spdif - mulb - 2009-02-23 Hi, have tried to just modify the default audio output? I just put the same as the digital output, and it works perfectly. If I remember well (I'm at work) mine is iec598.
