I have built a box with an Asus E35M1-I with a PNY 210 graphics card installed. Everything is hooked up to my tv via hdmi. I have installed xbmc live 10.1 on the system and video works fine but I have no audio. I have gone in and tried multiple configurations of the audio setting page. Audio output is set to hdmi. Audio output device is set to hdmi and passthrough output device is set to hdmi. I tried mixing the different versions of the audio output device and passthrough output device and still cannot get audio to work. I did some searching and found this link http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW...,_or_GT240 I followed the guide (or at least I think)
From a fresh 10.1 install I putty in and use these commands.
add-apt-repository ppa:team-iquik/alsa
add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade (on upgrade I get this and not sure what to pick but I pick y and the system won’t boot into x after a reboot. I pick n and everything seems to go ok)
Configuration file `/etc/lsb-release'
==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
N or O : keep your currently-installed version
D : show the differences between the versions
Z : background this process to examine the situation
The default action is to keep your current version.
*** lsb-release (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ?
apt-get install linux-alsa-driver-modules-$(uname -r) --force-yes
aplay –l
aplay –l says the card is 1 and the four devices are 3,7,8,9
then I go and try the different suggested combinations of the plughw:1,x where x is the device.
plughw:1,3
plughw:1,7
plughw:1,8
plughw:1,9
I assume that the passthrough setting should be set to the same setting as the output device. I’m not sure if I am missing a step or if I am just doing this wrong. After every change I would reboot the system. Certain combinations would give me audio device failed and other would not give the error. But still no audio. I have tried different cables and even hooking up my acer revo (xbmc live installed)to the same hdmi cable and it works perfect.
I also found this link http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=83157 and it seems similar but I still have the same results.
I found this link and even tried the third post but no luck. http://forum.xbmc.org/archive/index.php/t-102090.html
Every time I tried a new way of setting up the system I used a fresh install of 10.1 and only upgrading if the guide said to.
So now I have to ask for help.
Thanks in advance!!
