Hello all,

I've been using XBMC for a few months now and noticed that every now and then a movie will play but without sound. Just yesterday it occurred to me that (i think) every movie thus far that I have experienced this problem with has been an AVI. VOBs and MKVs, etc, work perfectly.

It seems like this would be a codec problem, but i'm not sure on how to update codecs, or if this is possible or even the problem! Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I have this same problem... always MKV works but if I have some avi tv-series etc, those never work, I dont get any sound video is fine but there is no sound.

I have tried to solve this but no luck

I am using asrock 330 ion

well guys, if you really want help, post mediainfo of these specific files and pastebin debug logs. also tell us your audio setup (hardware as well as settings in xbmc)
inside an .avi container there can be nearly every thinkable codec!
just complaining and moaning won't help

where's xbmc.log ?

MKV 1080p 720p movies are always working perfectly but some tv-shows which are .avi doesnt give any sound

I have tried many things like alsamixer, there is nothing muted.

XBMC settings:
Audio output: digital
dolby digital AC3 capable receiver (on)
DTS capable receiver (on)
Audio output device (default)
Passthrough outputdevice (iec958)
Downmix multichannel audio to stereo (on)

[flassi]

its working now...

MKV and AVI's...

I just delete pulseaudio and install that again and after this I change:
Audio output device iec958 and passthrough output device iec958...

before I try to only change this audio output device but it didnt help :/

strange...
