[linux] XBMCbuntu + HDMI audio // how-to ? - zosky - 2009-06-01 XBMCbuntu out-of-the-box hit 1080p, but only analog audio how can i use XBMC's digital / analog audio hardware toggles ? i know hdmi works, i've managed using this solution ( i have the same mobo with intigrated HD 3200 ATI ) can we control the volume of the UI effects ? my TV is @ 95% Vol & XBMC @ 40-60% Vol but the UI effects are always @ 100% Vol ... too load do i only have 2 options -- 100% / OFF ? - bobb0 - 2009-06-01 What version of Ubuntu? HDMI audio is supported in Jaunty (or any version of ALSA that is 1.0.18+) "cat /proc/asound/version" If you are running Intrepid or lower you'll need to manually install a more recent version of ALSA (note: this will break apt support for that package) If you're running Jaunty you probably just need to make a few config changes for HDMI audio. Personally I find it best to slave HDMI audio off the analog using /etc/asound.conf, I have posts detailing how to do this in the HOWTO: XBMC set-top box thread for Hardy & Intrepid. Once you've done that (my previous posts explain why this is good) you just need to unmute the HDMI Audio in the mixer (IEC958 1) Cheers. - bobb0 - 2009-06-01 ErrI guess i should have read the entire thing first.... Dunno, with my solution, I've found the UI volume follows whatever volume I have set in xbmc... <shrug> - jar72 - 2009-06-02 I have the same board in the provided link and I can't control volume in XBMC - I have to use the television volume control. I can't change the volume in ubuntu either. - zosky - 2009-06-03 bobb0 Wrote:ErrI guess i should have read the entire thing first.... in winBlows i have sound... so i knew it was a setting $ alsamixer shows IEC958 0 on card 0 $ alsa -c 1 to unmute IEC958 1 ... it took me 2 weeks to figure that out i couldnt find much on the wiki for HDMI audio ? hopefully we can save the next dude 4 hours another on-topic Q > why HDMI audio begin 2~3sec AFTER the video when FF/RW'ing / pausing ? is this a result of the solution i'm using (binding ALSA.defult to hw 1:3) ? ... does this delay go away when HDMI is slaved to analog ? ... can this be controlled by alsa ? the other thread you're talkin about is 100 pages strong would you hit me with a $cat /etc/asound.conf please |
