Hi,

just tried to use xbmc on debian sid runnning kernel 3.4.2.
In xfce and firefox I have got sound. Running xbmc within the xfce4 session or running it as standalone there are no audio or passthrough devices selectable (error: no device found message).

Do you have a recent catalyst driver installed?
Thanks for your reply,

I were running fglrx in the past, but I want to get it running without beeing hooked on AMD's updates. So, no I don't have any version of catalyst driver installed. As you can see, intel-hda driver is loaded for the audio device.
Seems like nobody got a clue, I believe it's a bug in xbmc and will open one the next days.
