So I have read all those threads and couldn't find a solution for my problem. I am pretty inexperienced on Linux so its not easy for me.
I have no sound on xbmc eden 11.0. No sound with xbmc menus or while I read video.
Everything connects to this Motherboard:
M4A785-M Asus with AMD processor.
Video works great but no sound.
Here is my output for aplay -l
I was also able to ear sound on left and right speakers with this command: speaker-test -Dhdmi:HDMI -c 2 -t wav
My settings in Setting > system > audio are:
Audio output : HDMI
speaker conf: 2.0
boost: on
dolby: on
DTS: on
Audio ouput device: hdmi (alsa)
Passthrough output device : hdmi (alsa)
When I playback a video with those settings it says "failed to initialize audio device". I tried at random a lot of different configurations on this panel. I never got sound to work. At best I did not get the "failed to initialize audio device" message with those settings (but still no sound):
Audio output : HDMI
speaker conf: 2.0
boost: on
dolby: on
DTS: on
Audio ouput device: iec958 (alsa)
Passthrough output device : hdmi (alsa)
I also checked that the volumes are at maximum in alsamixer.
Can anyone help me please with this or forward me toward the right direction?
EDIT: I now works.
I did set to custom the audio output and set the name to plughw:1,3
