This problem has been bothering me for almost a week. I've searched through countless threads to find a working solution, but nothing works.
Right now, I have XBMC menu sounds and audio in my videos working. But I cannot get ZSNES to play sounds. My asound.conf is:
Audio Output and passthrough set to HDA Nvidia HDMI.
The only thing that gets me sounds in ZSNES are replacing my asound.conf with the "remap-surround71" version:
And this as my .asoundrc:
And replacing HDA-Intel.conf with the one found here. I don't really know anything about alsa, but it looks like .asoundrc runs all audio through some mixer of some sort, and HDA-Intel.conf + asound.conf uses some 7.1 mapping.
Now, this actually gets my zsnes to work properly, and everything else works properly except for anything using AC3/Dolby Digital, which products a loud screeching static noise. I feel like this has something to do with the 7.1 mapping, but I really have no idea. I reverted everything back, because frankly AC3 audio is way more important than classic gaming.
Please, can someone help me figure out just what these alsa configuration files are describing? I can't find any documentation on what "ttable" means. Why is the remapping even necessary? Why doesn't ZSNES even work in the first place without all these hacks?
