HDMI sound not working (XBMCbuntu)
#1
Hi Smile
To explain my problem, I give you first some details about my configuration.

I just install XBMCbuntu on my old computer :
Pentium 4 (3,2GHz)
ATI Radeon HD5450
2GB Ram
Connected to a FullHD TV

Everything was OK at first start.
Sound working on HDMI.
Reading DVDs and Movie without any problem.
etc.

But when I played a 1080p MKV movie, I was having some little bug.
So I found a way to play them fuidly by installing priority ATI/AMD drivers and Xvba drivers on XBMCbuntu' session.
Now all 1080p are playing very well on XBMC !!
But I lost the sound thought HDMI Sad

After several research, I found a way to fix it using XBMCbuntu' session (allowing desktop, terminal, etc.).
I just create this file using "sudo nano /etc/asound.conf" and adding :
Code:
pcm.!default {

   type plug
   slave {
       pcm "hdmi"
   }

}
When it's done, I can choose HDMI output on XBMC. So it works well on XBMCbuntu' session.
But when I change user and I choose XBMC' session (without desktop, etc.) all manipulations I've done to enable sound thought HDMI are not taking effect.
So XBMC' session still don't allow sound thought HDMI Undecided

My question is :
How can I enable sound on XBMC' session with the change I've done on the XBMCbuntu' session ?
Or simply: How can I have sound working thought HDMI on XBMC' session ?


For those who don't understand the "session things" :
On XBMCbuntu operating system, we can choose differents "desktop".
So when I log in I can choose :
- XBMC : Launch only XBMC full screen without desktop or options..
- XBMCbuntu : Launch XFCE desktop with options like Terminal, chromium, synaptic etc.
- And others that I don't use.
So I use XBMCbuntu' session to make all my changes.

I hope I gave enought details about my situation.
Thank you in advance for your response.

PS: I'm sorry if my english is bad. Hope it didn't hurt you Angel

Do you want a debug log from XBMCbuntu or XBMC ? So I can do like this : http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Log_file/Easy
Does "aplay -l" and "alsamixer" in terminal is enought for my audio settings page ?
Because I don't have visual option for the sound. Only Alsamixer.
I give you that as soon as possible !
Thank you for helping Smile
