Help, no audio - reco1l - 2016-08-02 I have just installed KODIubuntu. it runs much smoother but no audio. I have installed it on a Sapphire Edge HD2 mini. checked the settings in system - audio settings - Audio output, I've got 3 options 1.Default, 2.HDA Analog, 3.HDA NVidia HDMI No matter what one I choose no audio. Please help me, I wanna use Ubuntu not windows. RE: Help, no audio - bas.t - 2016-08-02 Assuming you want to use the HDMI output, you could try and install pavucontrol, go into a desktop environment and make sure that audio works there. So open a terminal and type "pavucontrol" You usualy have to disable the analog output alltogether in the configuration tab and choose the right output option for your HDMI device. In my case that'll be "HDMI/DisplayPort 2" Best of luck. Tycho. RE: Help, no audio - bas.t - 2016-08-02 Sorry, my bad. Should be "Digital Stereo (HDMI 2)-output. RE: Help, no audio - reco1l - 2016-08-02 I've exited kodi I have managed to change the desktop view so I can actually see what I'm doing. But the font size on all the windows are so small I cant read anything, How do I change that setting RE: Help, no audio - bas.t - 2016-08-02 Well, since you cannot read anything in the desktop, I advise you to type ctrl+alt+F1 I'm still assuming that you'll be using the Nvidia/HDMI hardware and installed the right nvidia driver. This will get you into a black login screen on tty1 Now login and type "sudo nano /etc/X11/ xorg.conf" In that file you should see a section beginning with something like this: Section "Device" Identifier "Default Device" Driver "nvidia" Now right under this Driver "nvidia" line, add a line like this: Option "DPI" "100x100" Save the file and reboot. That should make your desktop readable. RE: Help, no audio - reco1l - 2016-08-02 I've just managed to break the install. Just re-installing everything RE: Help, no audio - reco1l - 2016-08-02 I've just re-read what you wrote. I havent installed any 3rd party drivers, how do I do that sorry compete kn0b here. And yes I do want to use the HDMI port RE: Help, no audio - bas.t - 2016-08-02 Make sure you install nvidia-340 package (assuming kodibuntu has moved to Xenial) My frontends also use ION2 chips, my /etc/X11/xorg.conf looks like this: http://pastebin.com/raw/6ypGJ6rc RE: Help, no audio - bas.t - 2016-08-02 sudo apt-get install nvidia-340 pavucontrol (for both of the packages you need) RE: Help, no audio - reco1l - 2016-08-02 OK I'm just re-installing kodiubuntu now. I'll let you know what I break next Thank you for trying to help me RE: Help, no audio - bas.t - 2016-08-02 You're welcome, I started as a total kn0b too... RE: Help, no audio - reco1l - 2016-08-02 I cant exit kodi now!!! I press S then exit, put my password in and then I'm back in kodi RE: Help, no audio - bas.t - 2016-08-02 I just noticed that kodibuntu is still on 14.04 LTS. You should upgrade to 16.04 LTS BEFORE you install the additional packages!!! sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install update-manager-core sudo do-release-upgrade And there is more. See: http://kodi.wiki/view/kodibuntu RE: Help, no audio - reco1l - 2016-08-02 I'm trying to upgrade Ubuntu, I'm getting The required dependency 'apt (>= 1.0.1ubuntu2.13)' is not installed RE: Help, no audio - reco1l - 2016-08-02 I've just put that error message into google Quote:I've had the exact same problem today. Make sure your version is Ubuntu 14.04.4 before the upgrade. Mine was stuck to Ubuntu 14.04.3 due to a bad mirror. I'm trying that at the moment |
