Not an original topic, I know. I've read through countless threads of these, and everyone seems to have a different way to fix it, but none seem to be working for me. Not sure if I'm missing something here or what, but this is what I have...
Acer R3700, Eden 11.0 install done from an iso downloaded today. Ran apt-get update and upgrade after the install was done. I previously ran 10.04 with Dharma installed from the Live CD and didn't have any issues, worked great. Stupid me for upgrading I suppose. Here are the outputs I know you'll all ask for:
I can see the Nvidia HDMI card at 1,3
... and the speaker-test for it works just fine. Lots of noise!
... and I added an /etc/asound.conf file as many have suggested:
... yet XBMC still will not play anything over HDMI. Other bits of info are:
XBMC audio output settings to Analog, HDMI, or Optical, don't seem to affect the ability for XBMC to play sound.
I have set the output device to : custom (plughw:1,3), hdmi (ALSA), and Nvidia HDMI 3 (ALSA).
When on HDMI type, I set the pass through to the same, and it does not help.
Every time I start a video, I get the "Failed to initialize audio device" error.
I'm running out of sanity here...
