Can one help please
I am having trouble with DTS sound playing via HDMI. Other sound formats works well in this system.

i found in debug following:

DEBUG: ffmpeg[A4197B40]: Codec 0x18000 is not in the full list.
16:19:15 T:2753133376 INFO: ffmpeg[A4197B40]: Stream #0:8: Attachment: unknown_codec

System details are bellow. And full debug trace file is in atachment.
Kind thanks!!!

i am sorry i dont know how to attach file or large trace log

Use a pastebin for your _complete_ debug log - you cut the audio enumeration.

Upgrade your kernel to 3.10.x see the wiki for an instruction concerning Intel and sound, here: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Int...r_HD_Audio

you might also be interested in: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=165707

I am very sorry, i do not see pastebin option/button/icon :-(

paste your log here: http://www.xbmclogs.com/ then post the link

i guess pastebin is service
here it is attached
http://pastebin.com/UHtnmjH4

or

http://www.xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=47140

never used such service. Will take it into account.

in the evening i will update kernel

Do you just hear nothing? Or static? What AVR do you have? Upgrade your kernel to 3.10.x as I posted before.

Kernel 3.8 has problems with ELD handling.

Ok kernel updated from source linux-3.10.7.tar.xz manualy
acording to doc http://mitchtech.net/compile-linux-kerne...-detailed/
as "make oldconfig" + all new features as modules
no errors
installed and running

root@igor-htpc:~# uname -a
Linux igor-htpc 3.10.7 #1 SMP Mon Aug 19 22:33:03 MSK 2013 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux

here is the trace of same file but played localy from disk
http://pastebin.com/vSTY4V5Y
still no sound over HDMI but over files sounds well

Can one clever folk look at trace log what is wrong with my audio codecs? Kind thanks!!!

I had no strength today to study above mentioned links. I will check them tomorrow. I swear!

I also trued to compile XBMC from latest GIT source with --enable-external-libraries option using sources of:
- x64 (compiled without errors fist - ./configure --enable-shared --prefix=/usr/local/ )
-libvxp (compiled without errors second ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ )
- ffmpeg ( !!! troubles here !!! ./configure --enable-gpl --enable-nonfree --enable-postproc --prefix=/usr/local/ )

but met ffmpeg compilation errors ( ./configure --enable-gpl --enable-nonfree --enable-postproc --prefix=/usr/local/ )
that i am unable to overcome :-(

Probably one can sugest me correct version combination - ffmpeg -libvxp - x64 -xbmc
that is known to be well compiled from source?

Regards,
Igor

Just use the ppa (xbmc-nightly) and ubuntu mainline http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ to upgrade the kernel. There is no need to compile from source.

Don't use external ffmpeg.

You again cut the important part from your log.

Use:

anyway new kernel is in place
i will reboot system in trace mode to get full log thenupload it here in 15 mins

here is very fill log from system reboot and then starting xbmc and then trying to play file
http://pastebin.com/utSTj7KE

another much more verbose trace log of reboot and then play

If you have just a normal TV connected. DTS won't work for sure, AC3 only when you are lucky - I see samsung here, that identifies itself as a 2 Channel pcm without detailed capabilities.

So what AVR are you using?

There is also some not fully removed pulseaudio in the way.

Go to your settings and choose Analog as output, enable Boost volume on downmix, set speaker numbers to 2.0 and choose SAM SAMSUNG on HDMI as your playback device.

WD TV Live media player plays this file well with sound via HDMI conection.
Even this Samsung TV (4 yar old) plays this file over DNLA with sound - understand this audio track format.

I think problem is in "ffmpeg Codec 0x18000 is not in the full list" - ffmpeg that comes with XBMC is missing some codecs.

Ok i will try "apt-get remove --purge pulseaudio libasound2-plugins" and let you know results.

Go to your settings and choose Analog as output, enable Boost volume on downmix, set speaker numbers to 2.0 and choose SAM SAMSUNG on HDMI as your playback device.

Looks like i already did it cause other files being played with sound. But i will double check.

Do you know the meaning of "ffmpeg Codec 0x18000 is not in the full list" ? I am unable to google anything comprehendable.

BTW
I just notised that i am running prereleace XBMC v13. It was downloaded by default as src from GIT.
But before i tryed "apt-get install xbmc" for v12 and it had same sound problem.
