I'm trying to get sound out of the HDMI and the headphone jack on Linux Mint 14 but I cannot get it to work.
When I enter this command "aplay -D xbmc /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav" I get sound in both devices, my TV and headphones but when i configure XMBC and play a song I get the message "Failed to initialize audio device. Check your audiosettings" but the menu sounds can be heard in the TV, any ideas of what is wrong? My configuration is:
XMBC 11.0
Audio Output: Analog
Speaker Configuration: 2.0
Audio output device: Custom
Custom audio device: alsa:xmbc (I tried with "plug:xmbc" and "plug:both" too)

My ~/.xmbc/.asoundrc is this

Code:

pcm.!default {
type plug
slave {
pcm "both"
}
}

pcm.both {
type route
slave {
pcm multi
channels 6
}
ttable.0.0 1.0
ttable.1.1 1.0
ttable.0.2 1.0
ttable.1.3 1.0
ttable.0.4 1.0
ttable.1.5 1.0
}

pcm.multi {
type multi
slaves.a {
pcm "tv"
channels 2
}
slaves.b {
pcm "receiver"
channels 2
}
slaves.c {
pcm "analog"
channels 2
}
bindings.0.slave a
bindings.0.channel 0
bindings.1.slave a
bindings.1.channel 1
bindings.2.slave b
bindings.2.channel 0
bindings.3.slave b
bindings.3.channel 1
bindings.4.slave c
bindings.4.channel 0
bindings.5.slave c
bindings.5.channel 1
}

pcm.tv {
type hw
card 0
device 3
channels 2
}

pcm.receiver {
type hw
card 0
device 1
channels 2
}

pcm.analog {
type hw
card 0
device 0
channels 2
}

and aplay -L is this

Any help would be appreciated

I am not great at following asound rules, but the device you ultimately want to use must be defined as !default (assuming you are using frodo).

[Superdyablo]

I'm using v11.0 Eden, do you think that v12.0 will fix my problem?

[Superdyablo]

Ohh, something interesting, the device "!default" is not showing on xmbc, I think that's a problem right?
