RE: [LINUX] HOW-TO get Digital Audio Pass-Through Output working on Linux with XBMC - crono141 - 2012-10-28 I'm running Linux Mint 13 (based on ubuntu) and XBMC 11.0 and I'm having the same HDMI audio problem. The magic bullet package seems to be libsdl1.2debian-alsa, but I don't have that in any of my repositories. I downloaded it from debian website, but it tells me that it breaks already installed package libsdl1.2debian. Note the lack of -alsa. If I remove that package, it wants to remove tons of other stuff that came packaged with Mint Quote:ffmpeg gecko-mediaplayer gnome-mplayer gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse In the meantime, removing pulse has broken all audio in Linux, even at the desktop level Edit: I have a mostly working setup. Mostly. I reinstalled pulse and got everything at the system level working. I have Code: pcm.!default { In my .asoundrc file. For my primary audio, I have Default (alsa), and my passthrough I have custom: plug:default. Now, when I start up any movie file (mp3 or ac3 audio), I get no audio and video that plays about 2 fps UNTIL I pause and unpause the video. When I do that, I get passthrough and regular audio, but I have to do this for EVERY file. Not an ideal situation. Here is my aplay-l Code: **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** I can get mplayer to passthrough audio on device 0.7 EDIT AGAIN: Figures, 10 minutes after I post I stumble upon a working solution. In the alsa settings (when you click your volume control on the desktop) I have the option to output stereo by default or surround 5.1 by default. I had it set to 5.1. But if I change it to stereo, and leave the same settings, both passthrough and dolby audio work without a hitch. I don't get any XBMC menu sounds, but I don't really need it. |
