Sound issue "Failed to initialize sound device"

Exclamation 
Darn it... I'm really getting crazy of this. It's like problem after problem after problem on the Asrock 330HT. I've updated from Beta 1 to XBMC Beta 2 and i fixed most of the problems, but now i suddenly do not have sound anymore. It says "failed to initialize sound device, please check your sound settings". It doesn't matter wich sound setting i select in XBMC it always gives me that same error message.

I don't know whats going on and i could really use some expert help. Would be great for me and all of those hours i spent getting the Asrock 330HT workingSad

Hope that someone can help me out, againBlush Some friend told me onces that it was easy to configure XBMC and install it on a Asrock 330HT. I never forgave him saying that. If anyone needs anything like a log or some device setting than i will post it here, just tell me how and where than i'll provide.

Thanks in advance,

Upgrading the distro kills the ALSA drivers, either save your database and do a fresh install of Dharma 2 (which is what I did) or use the different upgrade command for XBMC mentioned on the first page by Flomaster next time, not sure it would help now though.

install the beta2 live cd and try these 2 commands:

sudo wget http://pastebin.com/download.php?i=f5f9654bb -O /etc/asound.conf

sudo wget http://pastebin.com/download.php?i=f2e38265 -O /usr/share/alsa/cards/HDA-Intel.conf

then reboot.

there's nothing wrong with the current beta2 (as far as I can see). Just backup your userdata folder and then copy it back after the re-install.

Maybe, but if you don't at least include xbmc.log and any crashlog (if xbmc crashed), that's certainly a way to make me skip over the post.

Hi there,

Sorry for this post i didn't saw the post beneeth this one. Just as i posted this issue i saw this post http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=81208&page=2 and that worked out for me. Normally i always look at first but i was a little frustrated about fixing allot issues and thinking that everything worked, the sound failed.

Srry for that. Thanks for the repley's though i got everything working now as it is.

Thanks,
