Hello Folks,
I have been pulling my hair out with this for quite a while now, but I feel like I am really close. I am using a Radeon 6770 card in Ubuntu 12.04. XBMC did not create an .asoundrc file. Should I create one myself or not? There is an asound.conf file in /usr/share/xbmc/system that looks like it is mixing down the audio to two channels. Not sure if that is supposed to be there or not. I have tried just about every permutation I can think of at this point and I cannot get passthrough to work. Here is my aplay -L result:
The last five or so devices are the 6770 card. Can I assume that I want to use this device for passthrough: ??
hw:CARD=Generic,DEV=3
HD-Audio Generic, HDMI 0
Direct hardware device without any conversions
If so, do I need to make an .asoundrc file for it?
How do I configure audio output in XBMC? Do I use Custom or Alsa HDMI Generic? It's very confusing. I have had numerous hardware issues to overcome and this is my last issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
