"Failed to initialize audio....."
#1
Hey everyone.

I just reinstalled Ubuntu, and installed xbmc.

It runs fine! It detects my Tv Shows and movies with no problems
and updates the info online..

I just have a small problem. Whenever I play a movie with DTS sound,
first time I run the movie I get no sound and XBMC pops up a message reading something like : "failed to initialize sound, check your audio settings".

My settings are : "Digital" then "Default".

When I get the error message.. I just jump out of the movie.
And restart the movie and then my receiver reads "DTS" and the sound is on.

It seems to be a "Handshake" problem with xbmc and my receiver... the funny thing is this was never a problem with the older version of xbmc I was running 2 days ago.

Does anyone have a fix for this?

Are you running Ubuntu Lucid?

Ubuntu + Pulse + Alsa is simply a pain in the ass. I don't think it's an xbmc issue.
If there would only be a clean and simple way to get rid of pulse and use alsa as default in ubuntu ... I am pretty sure most problems would be solved.
