Hi,
I hope someone can help me with the following. I just bought a macmini a few days ago and (of course) use XBMC to play my videocontent. I have linked the macmini to my tv by hdmi and have run a separate mini jack kabel (Toslink - 3,5mm) from the macmini headphone output to my amplifier. Somehow I only get sound when playing movies through my hdmi (tv) and not the amp. In general sound preferences in the mac mini I have selected optical as output (not Hdmi) and the same in XBMC when playing a movie (I select optical output in the menu below when running the movie). Do I have to change any other preferences somewhere? I haven't switched off the macmini since I installed XBMC and changed the sound settings. Could that be the problem?
Hope someone can enlighten me. Txs in advance.
