Hey guys,
I'm trying to get my USB soundblaster working, but I had no luck so far. I'm using xbmcbuntu 12.2 Frodo. I've disabled the onboard sound (which is working fine btw.). I had this device working some time ago but I can't remember the changes I had to make, or rather I can't change the audio device to custom and fiddle around with the settings.
Audio Output device is set to USB Sound Blaster HD Analog
Passthrough output device is set to USB Sound Blaster HD, S/PDIF
So, anyone got any idea why there is no sound or how I might be able to set a custom audio output device?
Thanks for the help
