The only problem is... there is no sound from the speakers
Using the Live CD there is.

I'm using the optical audio output.

Alsa mixer settings



Someone a sollution. Thanx.

You have more mixer controls going to the right. Check your SPDIF settings, there should be a few items labelled as SPDIF or IE something or DIGITAL. Also make sure you have your audio output set to digital in XBMC's setup.

These are the other options:





No SPDIF settings

The IEC 958 switches are your SPDIF settings. One of them maybe a loopback (educated guess the ones labelled with the IEC 958 L are a loopback switch and you should uncheck those).

Play around with those IEC switches and you should find a working combo.

Great!!! This was it.

Thank you Deanjo!
