Is that file on a network somewhere? Or local drive?

Audioconfig is wrong. Pulseaudio gets enumerated but alsa sink is used. Is this an old Frodo guisettings.xml?
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

All the files are stored locally and none on network drives.
I think Fritsch you may be onto something. I migrated my system from Frodo to Gotham. How do I go about fixing this problem?

try this first, while xbmc is stopped:
mv ~/.xbmc/userdata/guisettings.xml ~/.xbmc/userdata/guisettings.xml.old
if you still have issue, try a fresh userdata folder
mv ~/.xbmc ~/.xbmc.bak

So I gave both options a shot but ran into the same problem.
Audio on my system stopped working and couldnt configure it properly.
I use SPDIF as my audio source for my system and I need to sit down and work through it. Does anyone know a good FAQ or resource on dealing with SPDIF and XBMC?

Just set the spdif device as the audio device, and as the passthrough device.

Please see the xbmc wiki for pulseaudio and config the spdif device accordingly.

Problem solved.
The issue was a hard drive related. I got suspicious when some 480p files started doing the same thing. Ran MemTest and got no errors and then started scanning the hard drive where the video came from. Failed SMART tests. Moved data to a new drive and the problem went away.
