Hi all, after upgrade the alsa drivers and configure my system with this:

/etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf

options snd-hda-intel model=6stack-dig

/etc/asound.conf


pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmixer"
}

pcm.dmixer {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024
ipc_key_add_uid false
ipc_perm 0660
slave {
pcm "hw:0,3"
period_time 0
period_size 1024
buffer_size 4096
rate 48000
channels 2
}
bindings {
0 0
1 1
}
}

ctl.dmixer {
type hw
card 0
}

And change the file HDA-Intel.conf like this guide http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW...controller

I have sound on all my system (Youtube sounds too in firefox) but on XBMC doesn't.

My options on XBMC for sound configure are:

HDMI, Analogic Output, Coaxial or Optical.

How can i do?

Thanks to all...

I think it´s the same problem like in the previous versions of ubuntu with pulseaudio.
You must stop pulseaudio before starting XBMC.
Command: pulseaudio -k

You can put it in a start-script - it works perfect for me. At the end of script I startup pulseaudio - so when I end XBMC my sound works again for Ubuntu.

Thanks for the answer, can you please show your script? Thanks!

Hi, i try to stop pulseaudio (pulseaudio -k) before launch xbmc but i doesn't work... i don't know what i have to do...

What does your 'aplay -l' show?

Just directly enter your sound sink as a 'other' in XBMC and be done with it.

This is the list, i try to add this on this way but doesn't work...

aplay -l

does your system have sound? If not check to make sure you have the correct hardware selected ( you can select different configurations and test easily) also check to see if the sound is muted by the system.

Yes i have sound in all my system, i can play mp3 with banshee, videos with vlc, mplayer, totem, videos on youtube with firefox, and the ubuntu system sound too...

The only problem is with xbmc....

From the command line. What does

do?
