xbmcbuntu-11.0 unable to play 24bit 96k audio - G12345567 - 2012-05-02 I currently have openelec installed and decided to give the new xbmcbuntu-11.0 a go. With a test run of xbmcbuntu from a bootable usb stick before I install it over my existing working openelec setup. most audio plays fine, except when I play high resolution 24 biit/96kHz audio files such as flac It keeps reporting "failed to initialize audio hardware" when I try to play the audio files. Yet I have no problem playing a dvd with a multi-channel 24bit/96kHz audio track, as I can see the 24/96 indicator light up on the amplifier display. And can also play 24bit-48kHz audio files without problem. Audio hardware settings in XBMC are as follows: Audio output: Optical speaker configuration: 5.1 Audio output device: custom Custom audio device: plughw:1,1 Passthrough output device: Custom Custom passthrough device: plughw:1,1 Sound card installed in pc is: SIIG DP SoundWave 5.1 PCIe S/PDIF Optical Output Supports 24-bit/96kHz digital audio out through S/PDIF (Toslink) Amplifier is Marantz SR7500 Support 24bit/96k multicahnnel audio Supports 24bit/92k stereo audio Using PCIe sound card since my aplifier does not have/support HDMI. any ideas why audio hardware is failing on some high resolution 24bit audio files? Any ideas on this? RE: xbmcbuntu-11.0 unavble to play 24bit 96k audio - Jan-Erik - 2012-05-02 Just a long shot, have you tried to change "plughw 1,1" to "plughw:1,1"? Looks like you are missing ":" (colon) for pass-through. Not sure if you need to use plughw, is hw:1,1 maybe better for going strait to the sound hardware?.

Looks like you are missing ":" (colon) for pass-through. Already done that. That was just a typeo in my original post. Most audio gets passed through sound card s/pdif out to AMP fine except when I try to play 24bit/96kHz FLAC files I get "failed to initialize audio hardware" No idea why XBMC can't handle these types of audio files. Seems the only format I find XBMC can't handle at the moment. I was wondering can XBMC actually handle 24bit 96kHz Flac files. Either 2 channel stereo or 5.1 multicahnnel?

Looks like you are missing ":" (colon) for pass-through. Yes, but my filles come out as 16bit, 48kHz Have you tried this sound autput settings? Sound; Custom Custom: "hdmi-remap" Passthrough: HDMI (ALSA) $ sudo nano ~/.asoundrc (and enter the code( (leave the file /etc/asound.conf empty) Code: pcm.!default { You can check out if AudioEngine is for you, have to compile xbmc yourself to test it out RE: xbmcbuntu-11.0 unavble to play 24bit 96k audio - G12345567 - 2012-05-08 Haven't tried those settings. As I am using optical and not HDMI for audio playback. As my amp does not support HDMI. |
