I have just installed XBMCBuntu Frodo RC2, but cannot get any audio through HDMI.
Both Passthrough and Output are set to "HDA Intel PCH, GSM LG TV on HDMI #2"
I have seen on the wiki, that there is an item for no sound, which I am finding hard to follow.
As aplay -l gives the following result:
I am unsure what my device ID is to set unmute.
If anyone could help that would be great.
Many thanks

Quote:3.5 No sound in XBMC
REMEMBERUnmute channels in alsamixer in all cases if your getting no sound via e.g. HDMI just for guidance a couple of quick reference commands below.
TIPSubstitute IEC958 with your device ID depending on your aplay -l output.
amixer -q set Master 100% unmute
amixer -q set PCM 100% unmute
amixer -q set 'IEC958',1 unmute
amixer -q set 'IEC958',0 unmute
REMEMBERMake sure that in alsamixer your correct sound card is in use, to change you card you need F6 and then try either card to make sure its not something as simple as using correct card. Sometimes the onboard card may not be the card you want or need. Some systems that have multiple sound cards e.g. onboard and a secondary, you could try to disable the onboard card in system BIOS if its not in use. For e.g. Your using a soundblaster or the sound card that some Video cards ship with, e.g. HDA Nvidia.
As aplay -l gives the following result:
