XBMC 12.3 no audio output - teddy - 2013-12-25 Hi, After installing the XBMC 12.3 update I lost audio output. I am using HDMI audio on my NVIDIA GFX card for audio output, and the output device was HDA Nvidia, HDMI #4 (i also got #1 - #3) on XBMC 12.2. After installing 12.3 i only got HDA Nvidia, HDMI #1 - #3, #4 is gone. I saw something about audio updates in the new XBMC 12 version, seems like one of these updates has broken xbmc on my setup. I have checked in console and I can still find all audio devices there, but when checking the xbmc log I can only see that it enumerates HDA Nvidia, HDMI #1 - #3, #4 is not listed. Could this be a index - 1 typo in one of the audio patches? teddy RE: XBMC 12.3 no audio output - fritsch - 2013-12-25 Debug Log RE: XBMC 12.3 no audio output - teddy - 2013-12-25 http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=101728 RE: XBMC 12.3 no audio output - fritsch - 2013-12-25 sudo apt-get remove --purge pulseaudio libasound2-plugins sudo reboot now redo the sound configuration. RE: XBMC 12.3 no audio output - teddy - 2013-12-25 Thanks fritsch, it worked RE: XBMC 12.3 no audio output - iksela - 2013-12-26 Hello i'm having the same issue: no sound after 12.3 upgrade, sound over HDMI setup. I didn't remove pulseaudio because it would remove gnome too (sorry for the french): Code: $ sudo apt-get remove --purge pulseaudio libasound2-plugins Here's my debug log: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=101854 RE: XBMC 12.3 no audio output - fritsch - 2013-12-26 pulseaudio heavily interfers with xbmc audio. If you really need to run it. Choose "Pulse Audio Server" as your output device and set channel numbers to 2.0 Don't activate passthrough. RE: XBMC 12.3 no audio output - iksela - 2013-12-26 Thanks, I tried what you described, but didn't seem to work out: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=101869 How do I disable passthrough? I couldn't find the right option. As a last resort, what are the consequences of removing gnome and gnome-core packages? That can't be good, right? RE: XBMC 12.3 no audio output - iksela - 2013-12-26 Update: I tried removing pulseaudio and lost all sound, including outside xbmc, not good. I tried toying around all availables options in System > Audio, but nothing seems to work... Do anyone have any clue? Update 2: Solved, I feel like a fool, after looking at other posts, I saw that sometimes the volume would be turned down during an upgrade, it seems that was the case, a long "+" press did what I couldn't in a morning RE: XBMC 12.3 no audio output - rodercot - 2013-12-26 pulse removal worked for me. 12-2 to 12.3 upgrade via team-xbmc ppa. I also had not updated my system in a while, I updated to latest kernel image and nvida-current from xswat prior to upgrading to 12.3 and that may have had something to cause my problem but any lightdm workarounds did not work for me. I also noticed that some of my stored blurays are now working which had problems in 12.2 from my nas. Not sure if this was fixed from 12.2 to 12.3 or removal of pulse but thanks to Fritsch for the fix. I just hope my resume is now fixed as well; a quick suspend - resume cycle shows promise but it usually takes longer than 30 minutes to happen. rgds, Dave Merry Xmas to all, and thank devs. RE: XBMC 12.3 no audio output - _Mitch_ - 2013-12-27 (2013-12-25, 20:42)fritsch Wrote: sudo apt-get remove --purge pulseaudio libasound2-plugins After upgrade to 12.3 via team-xbmc ppa i also did not have any sound but the above solution worked for me RE: XBMC 12.3 no audio output - TillMoss - 2013-12-28 THE BEST SOLUTION!!!!! THANKS A LOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RE: XBMC 12.3 no audio output - umrotzer - 2013-12-28 Hey Guys, same problem here. after i've doen this sudo apt-get remove --purge pulseaudio libasound2-plugins sudo reboot now redo the sound configuration. the sound in xbmcubuntu works well, but in xbmc it said error-no sound devices why? can you please help me out? my xbmc hardware is this mainboard http://www.asrock.com/MB/AMD/E350M1/index.asp and the sound output is hdmi RE: XBMC 12.3 no audio output - Masher - 2013-12-28 Another Solution besides deinstalling pulseaudio would be to just stop the service with sudo service pulseaudio stop If you mainly use your machine for xbmc, but sometimes use the desktop too, you can disable autostart of pulseaudio at system startup with sudo update-rc.d -f pulseaudio remove then if you need sound on your desktop just start it by hand with sudo service pulseaudio start - Masher RE: XBMC 12.3 no audio output - umrotzer - 2013-12-29 when i log on with ssh and type it i get this media@xbmc:~$ sudo service pulseaudio stop [sudo] password for media: stop: Unknown instance: media@xbmc:~$ sudo update-rc.d -f remove pulseaudio update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/remove: file does not exist |
