Full Version: Problem with audio loss when using Optical Out
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Hey! I'm experiencing audio loss whenever i quit a movie after watching it with dolby sound(Optical audio, 5.1). I can't get any audio from xbmc until i restart the program and select a new movie. Is this a known problem or maybe an way to fix this? Special audio drivers maybe? Apart from that it runs very smooth on my Mac Mini.

Specs of my Mac Mini are: Mac Mini 2011, 2.3DC i5, 8gb Ram. Using an optical cable to my Logitech Z-5500 audio system.

Thanks in advance!

Nobody experiencing this?
There are reports of skin sounds defaulting to the internal speakers after ending a video but sound usually returns when another video is selected. This was however reported via HDMI.

I suggest you post a log and also detail your setup ie. os version, xbmc version, mac os & xbmc audio settings.

PS: There are a few audio issues with Eden/Eden nightlies and Lion 10.7.4.

Yep, i think i have the same issue.
Only difference is that is have a Mac Mini 2009. Which version of OSX do you have? i have version 10.6.8 on mine.
No solution there, unfortunately.
