Hello xbmc users!
I'm stuck with my xbmc config and I hope someone can help me to find out what's going on. Please excuse me for my (very) bad english, I'll try to be the most descriptive I can.
Summary of the problem
I'm trying to use xbmc 9.11 source version compiled on my debian lenny stock (almost, I added the debian multimedia and backport repositories for mplayer, with no priority changes). Xbmc works until I try to play a video or an mp3, then I heard no sound, and usually xbmc complains that my audio setting are wrong and I need to check them. xbmc don't crash but when I stop xbmc, the sound subsystem is in unusual state where no software can produce any sound (and usually says the /dev/dsp file are still in use). I need to reboot the computer to get back a working sound (tested with mpg123, mplayer and vlc - all this software work before running xbmc)
The picture is set, let's show you the ugly details.
hardware:
_MotherBoard Asrock NF6P-VSTA
*AMD Sempron™ Processor LE-1250
*Ram: 1Gb
*Video GeForce 6150SE nForce 430
*Sound "nVidia Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio (rev a2)" (which is a Realtek ALC662 using snd_hda_intel)
software:
_Debian lenny stock uptodate (Linux 2.6.26-2-686 32bits)
_xbmc 9.11 stable compiled from source
_xorg with nvidia drivers version 256.44
_fvwm 2 as a window manager to keep memory for usage and not for visual stuff
_running xbmc from an xterm
_no gnome or kde hungry ram thingies
_no pulseaudio stuff
aplay -l & -L:

What I want to do:
The sound must work, I didn't have any spdif nor hdmi to setup, I just want something out my green jack ouput plug. That's all!
Before each test, I reboot the computer to have a fresh start (beside, after runing xbmc, the sound subsystem is dead and I didn't find any way to reset it)
I try mpg123 each reboot to see if the sound works. It worked every reboot.
I tried gmplayer and vlc (stock for both, no sound tweaking, it works out of the box) with the video I used to test xbmc: it worked.
test one, audio setting:
_digital
*ac3 & dts on
audio output default
passthrough: iec
_Before running a video or an mp3, xbmc produce sounds navigating through menus (mostly clicks)
_When I start a video, xbmc complains about my audio setting that I need to check it. But the video starts, without any sound
_After starting the video, there is no sound whatsoever outputting the soundcard, even the menu clicks.
_xbmc complains in the stderr output, here comes the output:
And the sound don't work anymore and mpg123 says this:
Aplay says:
http://pastebin.com/pRxWXUim
the only change is "Subdevices: 1/1" to "Subdevices: 0/1"
I'm unable to unload sound modules with modprobe, it says it's busy.
After this test 1, I've got a clue about lsb_release missing. I installed it and then restarted to try this:
test 2:
Audio analog
Audio output default
Note: I did the xbmc configuration when the sound subsystem is already dead, then reboot, then check if the config is still there, and then try the video.
Then I got (pretty the same) :
_Before running a video or an mp3, xbmc produce sounds navigating through menus (mostly clicks)
_When I start a video, xbmc complains about my audio setting that I need to check it.But the video starts, without any sound
_After starting the video, there is no sound whatsoever outputting the soundcard, even the menu clicks.
_xbmc complains in the stderr output, here comes the output:
http://pastebin.com/FB93xszK
It seems the lsb_release don't complains anymore, but leads to another problem. And the rest is mostly the same.
Test 3.
Audio digital
ac3 & dts off
audio out default
passthrough iec
→ same
starting with test 4 and further, xbmc don't complain anymore about my audio setting when I start playing a video. This may have a link with the debbuging turning on (in fact no, see test 6)
Test 4:
audio digital
audio output iec
passthrough iec
→ menu clicks before running the video, no sound playing the video, no complaining, sound dead.
test 5:
audio analog
audio output iec958
→ menu clicks before running the video, no sound playing the video, no complaining, sound dead.
latest test 6, with a full log
audio analog
audio ouput hdmi
→menu clicks before running the video, no sound playing the video, complaining to check audio setting
log: http://dspnet.fr/~lonewolf/cafzone/xbmc.log
(pastebin runs a 504 error when pasting this 72kb logfile, so I upload it on my website)
I googled over and over about xbmc, debian, alc662 and all this stuff, found a wide bunch of stuff about asoundrc getting 5.1, spdif or hdmi setting, but nothing about plain analog green jack output setting. I just want 2.0 stereo sound with xbmc, pretty please
I tried to be the most detailed I can, to find out what I missed during all my test. Please note I tried .asoundrc stuff, but usually mpg123 stop working – I don't think I did this correctly anyway.
I found out some stuff with speaker-test, which work before running xbmc and stop working after.
Any clue are welcome, especially some more useful tests to pinpoint my problem.
