Are you saiyng that there is not solution?

[erbis]

I am sorry I misunderstood your post

speaker-test -c6 -D default

playback device is default
stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 6 channels
using 16 octave of pink noise
rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz)
Buffer Size Range from 86 to 10922
Period size range from 6 to 5461
using max buffer size 10920
periods = 4
was set period_size = 2730
was set buffer_size = 10920
0 - front left
4 - center
1 - front right
3 - rear right
2 - rear left
5 - LFE
time per period = 17.518593

what do you see?

[erbis]

Guys? Can anybody help me please?

[fritsch]

Period size range from 6 to 5461

That won't work with xbmc - as the periodSize that gets set is too low to work correctly.

Provide:
lsmod | pastebinit

let's see if we can trick the module to mod 1024 buffers.

By default, PulseAudio in Ubuntu is set to work with 2 speakers (front channels).

1. Edit the PulseAudio daemon.conf file by pressing Alt + F2 and enter:

gksu gedit /etc/pulse/daemon.conf

1a. And search for: default-sample-channels. Remove ";" from the begining of the line, and instead of "= 2", change it to the number of speakers your system has. For instance if you have a 5.1 system, the number should be 6, for a 7.1 system: 8 and so on.

2.This is how that line used to look before you made any changes:

; default-sample-channels = 2

And this is how it's supposed to look after:

default-sample-channels = 6

3. Now you can save the changes and restart your computer.

4.Check to see if the channels are muted. Open a terminal and type:

alsamixer




If you dont have "gedit"...then any tex editor you have,will do.

One more thing-"Pulseaudio is already installed by default on all Ubuntu flavors"

[fritsch]

No - totally wrong answer :-( he does not even use pulseaudio.

modinfo snd_hda_intel | grep -i period
parm: align_buffer_size:Force buffer and period sizes to be multiple of 128 bytes. (bint)

seems to be the only module allowing to set period size, but its not used in erbis list...

[fritsch]

Can you go here and download a 5.1 flac 96 khz file and play that one? And provide the log afterwards?
There are in the column "Surround 5.1 FLAC 24BIT/96kHz": http://www.2l.no/hires/

[erbis]

Hi Guys

I followed fritsch's instructions

here's the log

http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=215007

What do you see?

thanks

[fritsch]

It worked, right?

Go to System -> Settings -> System Audio:

Here choose:
Output method fixed
Speakers 5.0(!)
Resample-Quality: medium
Upmix stereo to disabled.

[erbis]

I am sorry bit why 5.0?

I am trying to get 5.1 back to work.

I was thinking... There is not some kind of driver i could install?

---

anyway it doesn't work...

[fritsch]

Nope, that won't work as it is now. I have seen in your log that 5.0 with 96khz works by "luck".

[erbis]

I am starting to give up.

But can you expain me why it used to work great with the previous version and it doesn't now?

[fritsch]

Yes, i can. The older version did not care about the values the Sink chose.
