RE: Testing audio engine ActiveAE - fritsch - 2013-09-10
Test with ActiveAE and see what happens, enable audiophile also. and supply a logfile.

nvm

Quote:I think i found another bug ^^, when i watch livetv with e-ac3 audio (e-ac3 passthrough disable), and then i toggle on/off "use speakers in stereo", i come back to livetv menu for 1 seconde, then the video is back.
We did not touch this with ActiveAE. Toggling PCM/passthrough is not properly implemented. Currently it closes/reopens player because player is required to open a different codec.

Ok.
Thanks for the explanation.

Thanks for the reply fritsch.
Actually, I had to revert to the monthlies about a week or two ago because I started encountering a more severe problem with my audio. I did not post at that time because I assumed it would be a temporary bug but I have just tried the latest build and it has not been fixed yet so I will attempt to provide you with information.
Problem:
All audio (whether from music or video) is severely distorted, making the Beatles sound like chipmunks playing through a very bad AM station (please see http://youtu.be/gsmpOJu_oI4). I currently use USB audio out to my DAC (NAD M51), which doesn't have much linux support but I guess the point would be that it used to work, albeit with some other, separate issues.

Thanks for any help! I will revert to the monthlies for now but happy to try anything you suggest.
PS. this is a log file with the monthly build, where audio is working. Not sure if it helps: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6090403/

I see the linux support:

That is quite insane :-). Have to think over it.
The problem is the Frame Size: 40.
RE: Testing audio engine ActiveAE - fritsch - 2013-09-11
For the insane bufferSize, please try: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6091191/
There is another problem with the UNKOWN1, UNKNOWN2 speakers - that we have to fix at the our interface to ffmpeg.
RE: Testing audio engine ActiveAE - fritsch - 2013-09-11
Sorry for spamming :-)
But can you try, those two patches: https://github.com/fritsch/xbmc/commits/aefixes just on top of master.

I've not seen this pulled in master branch yet. Is it because i've not seen it and missed it, or is it just because it's not pulled yet ?
RE: Testing audio engine ActiveAE - fritsch - 2013-09-11
@jpsdr:
Fernet did not push it yet.
RE: Testing audio engine ActiveAE - fritsch - 2013-09-11
Update: now those fixes are in. Also the higher level fixes for @tarkus
We still discuss workaround around those specific kernel bugs in our AlsaSink.
RE: Testing audio engine ActiveAE - franzem - 2013-09-13
Hi, just installed 13.0 Alpha, latest version from GIT and all seems to work ok, except for sound, where my sound card doesn't get recognised - simple silence.
Running Arch Linux, trying SPDIF output, a brief look through the log files indicates it can't find Card 0 (there isn't one) and it can't make out some of the other parameters. Why won't it just use the default?
I have uploaded the log file: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=58172
My ALSA config is:
[htpc@htpc ~]$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 1: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 2: ICE1724 [ICEnsemble ICE1724], device 0: ICE1724 [ICE1724]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 2: ICE1724 [ICEnsemble ICE1724], device 1: ICE1724 IEC958 [ICE1724 IEC958]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
and my asound.conf is:
[htpc@htpc ~]$ cat /etc/asound.conf
pcm.HW_iec958 {
type hw
card 2
device 1
}
# Softvolume Control
pcm.Filter_SoftwareVolume {
type softvol
slave.pcm "HW_iec958"
control {
name "Software Volume Mixer"
card 2
}
}
# Make last filter the default device
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "Filter_SoftwareVolume"
}
thanks!
Michael
RE: Testing audio engine ActiveAE - fritsch - 2013-09-13
Remove all those asound.conf hacks and retry.
Edit: If you find time, try to configure the sound card manually via System -> Settings -> System -> Audio Hardware within xbmc. You have to "press" left and choose Advanced to change the sound device.
Thanks for your help.

Sorry for the late reply, I have been working shift work etc and have not had the time to test. I have tried the latest master build, and now xbmc crashes and restarts whenever I try to play a music file or video.
Here's the pastebin:

To be honest I'm not 100% on how to patch and build yet and have been relying on daily builds, but I will try learn this soon.
Thanks again!
