Full Version: Audio problem (no menu sound, no dolby) with autologin [WORKAROUND]
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I use XBMCbuntu with lightdm autologin. I have 2 problems with audio:

1. No menu sounds (analog, optical, hdmi - it doesn't matter which output i check)
2. No dolby or DTS passthrough (error "failed to initialize audio")

Now the funny part - both problems DISAPPEAR when:

a) I do not use lightdm autologin (enter password on login screen)
b) I use XBMXbuntu and then launch XBMC from inside of it (as an application not standalone)

Is there a solution for my problem? (I have checked it on 2 machines: ZBOX ID-41 and ID-11 - both the same behaviour)
Does anybody know eg. how to launch XBMC after XBMCbuntu autologin? This would solve my problemWink - no audio problems, no need to manually lauch XBMC which i use on regular basis.

PLEASE HELP!
I wrote script which launch xbmc 8 seconds after login to xbmcbuntu desktop. Now everything is ok. Problem persists because of too fast launch of xbmc. Some things in ubuntu probably could need some time to load... Would be great if somebody agreeWink
