Music has stopped working - SpiderDice - 2013-02-02

Xbmcbuntu, Frodo

Recently upgraded to v12 and now audio has stopped working for; menu sounds andMusic playback

Whats weird is that it will play TV and Movies just fine. I verified in my asound.conf that all of the settings are the same as they were in Eden. Here's a link to the thread with the issue resolved.

I've rebooted the box a couple times, and it did not seem to help.

Anyone got any suggestions? Tried to find a similar thread but no avail.

Thanks for your help!

try editing the ~/.xbmc/temp/advancedsettings.xml file and add the following inside the advancedsettings tags:

Code:
<audio>

<resample>48000</resample>

</audio>

Try pressing the + key to raise volume.

I don't have the xml file in that location. Should I create one?

It was the first thing I checked. Thanks!

@SpiderDice - was assuming encoded formats from your TV shows and movies were okay and music (pcm) was not, so volume was the first suspect. Is that the case - that only encoded formats work and music doesn't? Or that Video files play fine and music files in PAPlayer (the music player in XBMC) don't?

I'm surprised you don't have this file at that location. The '~' character represents your home directory. Do you have an advancedsettings.xml in any other location?

The advancedsettings.xml (wiki) file isn't created by default when you install XBMC. It needs to be created manually.

When I start to play a song, I adjust the volume and it says that it is 100%. TV and Movies have audio, but Music and Menu sounds do not.

Ah - ok. In that case, create a new advancedsettings.xml in that location which looks like this:

Code:
<advancedsettings>

<audio>

<resample>48000</resample>

</audio>

</advancedsettings>

That solved it for me when I had what sounds like the same issue (see the link below):

Hope it works for you too

I created the file, saved it, and then rebooted the box. Once rebooted, I verified that the file and contents were in that location.

Still the same result. Music and menu sounds don't work, but TV and Movies do.

RE: Music has stopped working - Centorix - 2013-02-02

It's probably a different problem then. Try enabling debug in XBMC (system settings), then restart XMBC and play a music file. Then post your log file (~/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log). Upload to xbmclogs.com and paste a link here

I don't think that this is the problem I was experiencing as I cannot see the same error message in your log. However, I don't think that xbmc is finding your advancedsettings.xml. It is finding one in your profile but the change I recommended is not in it (see the log extract below):

Code:
14:16:46 T:3047668016  NOTICE: No settings file to load (special://xbmc/system/advancedsettings.xml)

14:16:46 T:3047668016  NOTICE: Loaded settings file from special://profile/advancedsettings.xml

14:16:46 T:3047668016  NOTICE: Contents of special://profile/advancedsettings.xml are...

                                            <advancedsettings>

                                              <useddsfanart>true</useddsfanart>

                                              <cputempcommand>cputemp</cputempcommand>

                                              <gputempcommand>gputemp</gputempcommand>

                                              <samba>

                                                <clienttimeout>30</clienttimeout>

                                              </samba>

                                              <network>

                                                <disableipv6>true</disableipv6>

                                              </network>

                                            </advancedsettings>

It may still be worth adding the change to that copy of the advancedsettings.xml and trying it.

I thought advancedsettings goes in ~/.xbmc/userdata/

RE: Music has stopped working - artrafael - 2013-02-04

Yes, it needs to go in the userdata (wiki) directory.
