Here's how it went down:
I decided to play a random file and as luck would have it, it was one of those pesky Hi10p anime fansubs. At that point I get the error "Failed to initialize audio device. Check audio settings". Originally, my audio settings were set to:
Audio output device: HDMI (ALSA)
Passthrough audio device: ice958 (ALSA)
But changing them to:
Audio output device: Defaults (PulseAudio)
Passthrough audio device: ice958 (ALSA)
Gets me audio again. But then I played a random movie and I'm not sure if that broke things further (to my knowledge, it didn't contain any extra fancy codecs), or if things were already screwy, but I get the same error as above. This isn't the case with every movie I have, but I'd say most of them seem to not want to play nice. I don't seem to have trouble playing any "TV Shows" (anime, and US TV shows).
Here's what I'm running:
Ubuntu 11.10 (up to date as of today) (unsure of kernel version)
XBMC Eden (beta)
ASUS F1A75-I Deluxe FM1 AMD A75
AMD A8-3850 Llano 2.9GHz Socket FM1 Quad-Core (with DirectX 11 Graphic AMD Radeon HD)
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB)
Here is a link to the debug log @ pastebin.
Specifically what I did (and I have no idea if it matters), is I tried 2 HD (no audio) movies and then 1 non-HD movie (audio ok), and then an HD anime (audio ok). This makes me wonder if the error is specifically something that has to do with HD movies..
