Hi,

i installed 12.1 on my media center PC today and sound in the xbmc standalone mode works perfect out of the box. But if i switch to the LXDE Session i have no sound in chrome, ZSNES or the console as well. I use a geforce GT218 for HDMI sound output. There is no other soundcard installed.

Code:
htpc@htpc:~$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

a soundtest within the LXDE session with aplay shows the following error:

Code:
htpc@htpc:~$  aplay -D hw:0,3 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Mono
aplay: set_params:1087: Channels count non available

an alsa-force reload in the lxde session doesnt help. But if i start XBMC from LXDE i have sound in XBMC immediately.

i also checked the alsamixer settings and the card is not muted.

can someone please give me a tip or lead me into the right direction?
