Hello,
I've recently bought an Intel NUC HTPC for use with XBMC - my raspberry pi gave out a few months ago (D34010WYK, http://kodi.wiki/view/Intel_NUC#Core_i3-based).
I installed Ubuntu 14.10 Server, set up user "xbmc" for XBMC, and started xbmc in standalone mode. My problem is that I have no audio, to be more precise I have no Audio output device under System -> Settings -> Audio output.
The NUC is connected to a Samsung TV via HDMI cable (this worked fine on the raspberry pi with Raspbian). I do not have Pulseaudio installed since I am not using it as a desktop; when I start XBMC, the debug log shows a lot of errors about not finding Pulseaudio. Tn the GUI, under System -> Settings -> Audio output, I cannot select 'HDMI' (or anything else); the option "Audio output device" is greyed out.
Details:
I notice the debug.log contains a lot of pulseaudio errors, but shouldn't I have the "hdmi" output option regardless of using pulseaudio - shouldn't ALSA be used if pulseaudio isn't installed? Either way, should there not be the option to select hdmi as output device?
Screenshot (or rather, photo of TV): http://postimg.org/image/tfpjd01dv/
Thanks
