[AppleTV1] Sound in movies and music but no sound effects in XBMC - atari800 - 2011-04-13 I have AppleTV1 with ubuntu minimal install - also CrystalHD Movies play fine (avi,mkv,flv,etc) Music plays fine but I have no sound effects when I migrate around in XMBC I have Confluence, Night, Neon, and Transparency! skins installed No matter what what skin, I cant get sound effects When I boot into Apple TV mode (normal) and run XBMC from there, I have sound effects in XBMC Did I miss a step in ubuntu setup? Any help is appreciated ![]() - Philmatic - 2011-04-13 That's just how it is... you either have HDMI audio for movies or you have to use the RCA connections for analog audio and then you gain the interface sounds. - atari800 - 2011-04-14 No, it's not an HDMI/RCA/Optical out thing. It's the sound effects within XBMC, unless you are stating the XBMC skin sound effects do NOT come out of HDMI ![]() - Sam.Nazarko - 2011-04-14 mentioned many times: .asoundrc - pumkinut - 2011-04-15 Philmatic Wrote:That's just how it is... you either have HDMI audio for movies or you have to use the RCA connections for analog audio and then you gain the interface sounds.Yeah, ummm, no. As Sam said, you need a .asoundrc file in /root. Here's mine: Code: pcm.!default { To create it, you can do the following: Code: ssh atv@<ip.of.apple.tv> - atari800 - 2011-04-15 @Sam: Searching for "no sound" brings up a zillion articles about issues with video. I tried many iterations of "no sound xbmc" "no sound skin" "no sound confluence"..... but list lists were long and probably I'd find the answer at the bottom of page 512. lol @pumkinut THANK YOU for providing the answer. I know what you provided would be considered "spoon feeding a noob" to some but again thank you for taking 3 minutes of your time to resolve my problem!!!!! - atari800 - 2011-04-15 Actually I needed put .asoundrc in /home/xbmc directory for it to work Thank you guys!!! |
