How to get everything working in xbmc Live on Shuttle XS35GT - orn1983 - 2011-06-12 Caveat: I haven't tried the wireless yet as I have no use for it, but I found several forums detailing that. What I did not find however, was how to get the audio working in all situations, but I have figured out how to get it working for me. Basically you can follow this post: http://breden.org.uk/2011/01/15/shuttle-xs35gt-installing-xbmc-10-0-live-dharma/#installxbmc What I had to do additionally (in addition to the guide above) was to comment out the snd-hda-intel line in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf #options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=0 probe_mask=0xffff,0xfff2 I didn't put it or a different line anywhere else as often suggested in other forums. I then after rebooting had to go to alsamixer, press F6 and select the NVIDIA device, and then unmute all the SPDIF outputs. Then I created .asoundrc in my home directory with this data: pcm.dmixer { type dmix ipc_key 2048 slave { pcm "hw:1,7" # Always use pure hw. dmix will reformat/resample audio. period_size 512 # If you get stuttering/or non-working audio, fiddle around with these buffer_size 4096 rate 48000 # HDMI, I'll assume 48kHz format S16_LE # Should be default for pretty much any soundcard. } bindings { 0 0 1 1 } } pcm.!default { type plug slave.pcm dmixer } Then I set the Audio output device (in System settings in xbmc) to Defaults. I had to set the Passthrough Audio Device to Custom and the value for Custom passthrough device as "hw:1,7" (without the quotes). If I didn't do this and had it as HDA NVIDIA HDMI the audio would work, but if I paused HD content and started playing again the audio would not resume. So pretty much everything has sound now, including YouTube videos that I had problems with (some of them had no sound). |
