AudioEngine branch - DO NOT REQUEST BINARY BUILDS
D3LTA - go to https://github.com/gnif/xbmc, branch ae_rebase for up to the minute, but the link you have there is very very close to the play-by-play (and possibly more stable than the "latest")
System: XBMC HTPC with HDMI WASAPI & AudioEngine - Denon  AVR-3808CI  - Denon DVD-5900 Universal Player  - Denon DCM-27 CD-Changer
- Sony BDP-S580 Blu-Ray  - X-Box 360  - Android tablet wireless remote - 7.1 Streem/Axiom/Velodyne Surround System
If I have been able to help feel free to add to my reputation +/- below - thanks!

Okay so this is how it played out - completely fresh install (just like the other 12-14 times the past couple of weeks ... !). Initial boot everything worked, ELD data returned, all good. Reboot - ELD data returned ... this is different, usually at this stage no data is returned ... audio worked fine. This I repeated several times along with completing the installation with all my usual addons, etc. I was on the verge of posting to say "well wouldn't you know it - suddenly it's working". Off I go to eat and sigh a great deal.

When I return I re-added my prefered skin (reFocus), rebooted - again all seems good. So I try suspend - suspend works. Try resume, it resumes though as has been normal for ages it resumes with no GUI sounds, but movies, music, etc. all play fine and GUI sounds return after. So I reboot once more and ... no ELD data ... and of course no sound. I've never put two and two together like this till now. I don't myself see why suspend/resume would cause an issue on a reboot (rather than on resume) but then I don't know the in's and out's of how this all works.

I'll try another full install to confirm it was nothing else I may have done instead of the suspend/resume cycle. For now here are the dmesg dumps:

* Before xbmc start: http://pastebin.com/Q8pjJ3NN
* After xbmc start: http://pastebin.com/pA22uDmz
* Reboot & xbmc start: http://pastebin.com/eXen9BFR
* Reboot & xbmc start after suspend/resume cycle: http://pastebin.com/cR6sTBy4

EDIT: Nope - a second full reinstall showed the issue without a suspend/resume - can't positively rule out my having changed something but it's the same install procedure I've used to date.

Question:

Is kConfig "CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS" (dev/mixer) required for AE in order to work correctly?
By accident I found "ERROR: CAESinkOSS::EnumerateDevicesEx - Failed to open mixer: /dev/mixer" in the logs. At least the error msg tells me that it doesn't like the missing device node. Smile

Should I enable additional modules besides mixer, e.g. "CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS" and/or "CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS_PLUGINS"?

@einhänder - no, its for people that are using OSS (FreeBSD users mainly), its just telling you that it cant enumerate the devices on the deprecated Linux OSS API.

Ok, for those that are having the same issue as Drae I have found the problem, it seems that there is a race condition with the ELD information being populated.

When X starts, the AVR has to lock onto the new signal, until it does so, there is no ELD information, if XBMC starts before the AVR has locked on, there will be no ELD information and it will not see the HDMI device. To work around this you can either use a login manager such as slim or gdm which would introduce the required delay, or add a 'sleep 10' in your init script, obviously the number depends on how long it takes for the ELD to be present.

It sounds like a hardware fault, AE does not touch the stream at all when it is in pass-through mode. Please provide a clean log via pastebin, and if possible a sample file that replicates the issue reliably. I also have an Onkyo AVR and I have not noticed this behaviour.

hi gnif, did you get a chance to check out the sample i provided?

Thanks

Just saw - grats guys and of course particularly Gnif (and thanks again for finding that race condition Big Grin). I know it's not the end of work on this but this is a huge event, props to all involved. Another feather in XBMC's already pretty awesome cap.

Hi,

Me again, apologies for earlier post in wrong place.

I have installed ubuntu 12.04 used the latest drivers (Nvidia 295.40) and latest build of gnifs XBMC,

Couple of issues are popping up, I verified my sound was working by using the same mkv with Mplayer and it does work, however in xbmc it does not seem to be outputting sound (Also the video is jumpy but I think I can fix that) here is the error I am getting all the time:
23:58:09 T:3004644160 ERROR: CAESinkOSS::Initialize - Failed to get supported formats, assuming AFMT_S16_NE
23:58:25 T:3004644160 ERROR: CAESinkALSA::Initialize - snd_pcm_open_lconf(-16) - hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=0
23:58:25 T:3004644160 ERROR: CAESinkOSS::Initialize - Failed to get supported formats, assuming AFMT_S16_NE

Anyone seen this issue?

i don't know about the error but i'm pretty sure there have been many reports of 295.xx misbehaving. try downgrading to 290.10.

also, this should probably be in the other thread: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=128298
