Hello XBMC users, I have just setup XBMCbuntu on a HTPC and I am getting no sound on the UI or playing movies.
Firstly my setup is the following:-
XBMCbuntu running on a Intel DG45FC mobo (which has onboard GPU etc).
HDMI cable running from the mobo HDMI port into a HDMI port on my Panasonic TV.
I don't have an amp or anything - I just want the audio to play through the TV speakers.
System Settings:
Audio output = HDMI
Speaker Config = 2.0
Boost volume level on downmix = checked
Dolby Digital capable receiver = unchecked
DTS capable reciever = unchecked
Now the confusing parts...
Audio output device: (this gives me a number of options which are)
HDA Intel - hdmi - 0, 1 or 3 (ALSA) --no idea what these different numbers mean
HDA Intel - iec958 - 0, 1 or 3 (ALSA)
iec958 (ALSA)
hdmi (ALSA)
HDA Intel - default - 0, 1 or 3 (ALSA)
Passthrough output device: (same options as above).
I've tried a few combinations and nothing is working.
Cheers

HDMI as output device should work.
run alsamixer in console and unmute everything.

Thanks for your reply.
I got audio for movies working after some more playing around but no audio for the UI still.
How do I get the console up? Is alsamixer an add-on?
menu/UI sounds don't work properly in Eden. Its best to keep them disabled.
In the nightlies (Pre Frodo) it works ok.

Ok fair enough.
A bit OT but I'm thinking about buying an amp soon to complete my home theatre setup, is there anything I should be aware of in regards to XBMC?
