Hello
After a hardware failure and fresh install with 12.04 ubuntu I didnt have any sound but then noticed that if I installed xbmc from software center it was version 11.0 or something.
After installing 12.1 if I select analog for sound it works
Question I have is my reciever in a NAD and can take almost any format of sound and not it only says Multi PCM sound instead for DTS if it was DTS
Is this ok am I getting the proper sound from analog or should I work on the audio properties to get the hdmi selection working?
Start with a debug log, there we can all see what your computer, e.g. the hdmi device supports.
I have the same problem since upgrade to 12.1, only analog audio output is selectable and nothing has changed except xbmc.
@Derek:
You posted that now twice in two very different threads. Nobody on earth can help if you don't start posting xbmc.log to a pastebin near you.
You need to enable debug logging, without it the log is pretty useless. Post a screenshot of your audio output settings as well.
@snuffy47:
HDA NVidia NAD T748 <- that one is the correct audio device. The log clearly says: AE_DEVTYPE_HDMI - so there should be the possibility to select HDMI from the settings menu.
Try to only enable AC3 and DTS for first testing - keep AAC, DTS-HD, TrueHD disabled.
Second what I see: You also have pulseaudio running, which can interfer with our current ALSA implementation
Code:
sudo apt-get remove libasound2-plugins pulseaudio
sudo reboot
Sorry was doing some traveling
I did what was asked set to the NAD output and removed pulseaudio
Now I have no sound at all and when going into the sound setting output it no longer shows my card

pretty please need some more help
Also just noticed after taking screenie that the setting to select NAD reciever will not stay it defaults to what is there now
Your log still has it.
It could be, that it looses the connection, when the sink is unloaded after 10 seconds.
put this to /home/yourXbmcUser/.xbmc/userdata/advancedsettings.xml
Code:
<advancedsettings>
<audio>
<streamsilence>1</streamsilence>
</audio>
</advancedsettings>
Happy testing.
