fluxbox, XBMC and sound - fidoboy - 2009-09-15 right now i've XBMC Live configured and i can start firefox using the launcher plugin. I only have two problems, the flubox font sizes are huge and there is no sound in firefox window (when using flash plugin, for example). NOTE: i've tried editing the overlay file to change the fonts, but it doesn't seems to work.. Does anyone knows how to solve this problem? thanks in advance, - Maxim - 2009-09-15 I'm not sure about the fonts, but the sound issue is likely related to ALSA's single use infrastructure. I thought that dmix was in the mix by default in recent builds of ALSA. Otherwise you'll have to setup a dmix device and plug in your sound device into that. - fidoboy - 2009-09-15 Can u give more details please? Do i need to update ALSA? how can i setup dmix device? what is this? regards, - Maxim - 2009-09-15 You can also install pulseaudio if you don't need digital playback. - fidoboy - 2009-09-15 I need digital playback, doesn't pulseaudio work with digital passthrough? Does dmix work with digital out? I'm trying right now to configure pulseaudio with xbmc but it says that "pulseaudio not in group pulse-rt" how can i fix this? why i don't have navigation sounds when playing music or playing a movie? regards, - fidoboy - 2009-09-22 May be that it helps to someone to know that i've solved the font issues by editing the xorg.conf file and adding: Option "DPI" "96 x 96" into the monitor section... now fluxbox is started with a standard font sizes... Try this: - Simkin - 2010-05-17 Find out what the HDMI device number is by entering: aplay -l Then create the file: /home/<username>/.asoundrc Add the following line: defaults.pcm.device <HDMI device number> Change the XBMC Audio settings: Audio Output Device: DEFAULT Passthrough Output Device: CUSTOM Custom Passthrough Device: plughw:0,<HDMI device number> Let us know if this worked - TheDuffMan - 2010-05-17 The previous post should work as long as you also have set: Custom Passthrough Device: plughw:0,<HDMI device number>. - vikjon0 - 2010-05-17 Well, I assume that the xbmc sound checking have little or no effect on firefox? Keep the xbmc settings as is, they have nothing to do with this. Just redirect the "default" in asounrc. - vikjon0 - 2010-05-17 http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=71664 Take a look here for font issue. You need to change dpi. - Simkin - 2010-05-17 Ok, tried it myself but it doesn't seem to to be working. Locating the correct device number Code: simkin@xbmc:~$ aplay -l Code: simkin@xbmc:~$ cat .asoundrc Code: simkin@xbmc:~$ aplay cat.wav Code: simkin@xbmc:~$ cat .asoundrc Code: simkin@xbmc:~$ aplay cat.wav In XBMC started Firefox and heard sound Rebooted the Asrock a second time and played a test WAV file. This time I did not hear anything Code: simkin@xbmc:~$ aplay cat.wav In XBMC started Firefox and no longer heard sound Any ideas? - Simkin - 2010-05-20 Friendly bumb - thatjoshguy - 2010-05-21 Simkin Wrote:Friendly bumb You probably checked, but were the changes you made that worked still there after you rebooted? - Nollog - 2010-06-11 If you force xbmc to "fail to initialize device" sound will work when you launch firefox. I get this issue every second song I try to play(.wma's), so the bug is now a feature. :p |
