I was unhappy with some things in Intrepid, so I reverted to Hardy (fresh install). However, XBMC is having issues playing sound for anything other than digital - mp3's and most avi's don't play sound (video is fine). Tested the files in mplayer and they're fine.
Could this be caused by some of the more recent svn changes?

What version of ALSA? Oh and what video drivers? Both of those must be updated even on Intrepid to get proper HDMI sound - and then ALSA config files have to be dorked with <sigh>

Okay, so it turns out Pulseaudio is the culprit. I killed pulseaudio and files played fine. Interesting. PA behaved fine under Intrepid. I have libpulse-dev installed - I was under the impression pulse issues were mostly solved.

It seems I posted too quickly. My issues are not completely solved, as DTS audio does not seem to be working (with or without PA). My receiver is not DTS capable, so I haven't selected it in xbmc audio settings (regardless of whether I do or not, it doesn't work).

Different issue...
So, create a different thread. And saying it isn't working doesn't help. Provide as much detail as possible (always pastebin the debug log!).
