I am on Karmic and don't want to use pulseaudio

My card is card 1 not card 0

~# aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 1: MP3 [Sound Blaster MP3+], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

on other applications I have done

alsactl restore
asoundconf set-default-card 1
start_app

and the correct card is being used.

This doesn't seem to work with xbmc, I get failed to initialse device on playback

how can I make xbmc use card1?

try aplay -Ddefault sample.wav and if that works please try beta1 when it's available and move the .xbmc folder (remove it or move it your choice but it cannot exist when starting the app). And try again without altering anything.

Thanks for commenting.

running a sample wav running aplay -Ddefault some.wav works

when I remove the .xbmc directory AND upgrade to beta 1, I have interface sounds (the clicks etc) but have the same errror regarding initializing audio device please check your audio settings

Do you use the other sound card for anything? I had this problem once (I had onboard audio + sound card), and just blacklisted the onboard audio so that it thought I only had one sound card.

The on board sound is dead so this is the only active sound card

Deactive onboard in bios and if necessary re-install.
