Hello,
Config:
ZBOX HD-ID11 (Intel 40Gb SSD)
Audio optical link from ZBOX to HT power amp
Audio setup:
Audio output: Numeric
Audio output device: iec958
Problem:
XBMC 10.0 : Sound is OK for music etc.. and for menu's clics
XBMC 10.1 (updated by net from 10.0): No sound for menu's clics but Sound is OK for music etc..
Question :
It's not a true problem for me, but why this difference between Menu's clic sounds and Music sounds in 10.1 ?
Thanks !
NB : On my Zbox, I can have analog sound from menu's clics AND for music, on headphone output with this setup:
Audio output = Numeric or Analog
Audio output device = Default
Hello,
? Not any idea about this different (numeric only) sound management in XBMC 10.1, between Menu's clics sounds and Media's sounds ?
Thanks
Menu sounds are a known issue that is slated to be fixed in the next XBMC version.

Thanks for your info
I will stop searching any setup error in my Linux config (XBMC 10.1 CD live installed on HD_ID11 ZBOX SSD )
I noted than on Windows XBMC version, no menu sound problem in XBMC 10.0, 10.1 and Nighties pre-11.
It's something to do with how menu sounds have to be run through an external audio mixer such as pulse or alsa. The next linux version of XBMC is supposed to have it's own audio mixer built in. At least that's how I understood it.
Create an asound.conf File.

Hello,
What do you mean ? :
Show you the existing sound.conf File (if it exists) on my XBMC CD-Live installed on my ZBOX ?
or
Modify the sound.conf File (if it exists) ? (if YES, how ?)
Thanks :-)

Details on AE were sparse the last post, so I asked gnif to give a quick rundown of what it brings:
Audio is now processed in the highest possible resolution instead of conversion to S16
The sound device is now opened in float mode, or the next best thing that is supported.
SDLMixer has been removed and replaced with our own mixing code finally giving us consistent GUI Sound support.
Latency of the audio stream has been greatly improved meaning GUI sounds now play on time.
AC3 transcode has been moved into the audio engine, meaning that GUI sounds and PAPlayer can be transcoded too.
AC3 transcode of every sample rate is now supported instead of just 48 KHz.
No more loss of stream sync on amplifiers when bit streaming and on pause/resume of playback.
We can now take full advantage of PulseAudio, including its sound cache ability.
Changing audio settings are now applied instantly and do not require a player restart any more.
SSE conversion between formats has been added as well as extensive SSE optimizations to the software audio engine.
Known issue, nothing to do with asound.conf. Will be fixed in next major revision.

Thanks for all
Waiting now for next CD live version to solve this modest Menu sounds problem
Hope this future CD live version will also solve a most bigger problem:
Recognize the new AMD "Fusion" platform :o

I've been struggling for this for quick some time with Zotac ID11, Ubuntu, Dharma 10.1.
For HDMI and Optical (Audio device iec958, Pass through device iec958) I used to always get menu clicks on Optical device regardless of if I select HDMI or Optical settings!
Finally I figured out that menu sound goes to the Default Sound device selected in Ubuntu and not in XBMC! If I change Default Sound device I can redirect menu clicks to different audio destination.
I'm having this same problem. I first started xbmc from within gnome so it worked fine. I'm now using the xbmc-standalone package and no more menu sounds. Really anoying. I'm using the latest xbmc built from source.
I tried the following .asoundrc:
Quote:pcm.!default {
type hw
card 2
device 7
}
Now the default alsa playback is the right device, but still no menu sounds
