Hi,

Newbie here.
Got myself the XstreamTec MX Linux XBMC off Amazon yesterday and have installed some repo's.

The problem I have is that some of my steams do not play through my TV. I get the video no problem, however, receive no audio.
My MX box is connected to TV via HDMI.
I have been troubleshooting all day and have finally found the issue by pressing the android button on my remote.
The problem appears to only be on streams where the audio is 22050hz
Streams with audio of 48000hz work no problem.

I have had this theory backed up as both my Sonia Bravia Plasma and Phillips Smart TV result in this issue.
My spare 32" Samsung plays every stream no problem.

Can anyone advise if there is anything that I can do to resolve this issue?

This thread seems to have a similar problem, however, my box has come pre-installed with xbmc on it and have no idea how I would change anything?

Hey,

Thanks for the response.
Can you please advise where and how I do this?

My box was pre-configured by Xstreamtec on a stripped down Linux build.

Thanks again

Created an advancedsettings.xmls and added it to the user folder by copying over in FileManager.

<advancedsettings>
<audio>
<resample>48000</resample>
</audio>
</advancedsettings>

Still no sound on the 22050hz audio streams after reboot.

Now I am presuming this is where my extra setting needs to go:

However, would be good to get some guidance as to how I can locate and edit this file as all these files are hidden from what I can gather.

You are running an xbmc version that was not done by us. Report back to the people that sold it to you. Frodo development has ended. Get an up to date Gotham version and retry.

It looks you are missing tons of required packages in that Linux.

But Im not sure if your platform supports these? If does maybe you want to issue.

Code:

sudo apt-get install pastebinit python-software-properties pkg-config policykit-1 upower udisks acpi-support -y
sudo apt-get install alsa-utils libasound2
wget -q https://raw.github.com/uNiversaI/xbmc-ubuntu-minimal/master/12.04/download/custom-actions.pkla -O /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/custom-actions.pkla
sudo usermod --group sudo,cdrom,audio,video,plugdev,fuse xbmc

Then unmute the channels via alsamixer.

tbh your Linux install looks half harsed in any case, though Im not familiar with arm platforms. But Ya Im inclined to agree with fritsch go ask support from who sold it to you.

Yes the advancedsettings go in your advancedsettings.xml

Another useless post by a user that have no clue what he had bought.

This is a generic oem g18ref device based on Amlogic 8726-MX/M6.

All these crappy resellers (e.g. XstreamTec, Matricom ...) investing zero resources in the development of software for these devices and are clueless in the design of software and hardware of these devices.
It is a shame that there's no specific Amlogic Linux sub forum on the official XBMC Forums, that leaves the door open for resellers that misleading customers and also users have to look somewhere else for information on these devices.

Currently the best place to get info on the Linux build for the device, to get an updated build and support is Corey's thread on XDA.
