[rob hodge]

Hi,

i can confirm XiRos Post #262 that blackbox is working well. But the sound issue is not solved.

The modification from robhodge in #263 wont work on my device. Openbox starts only in background.

robhodge what do you mean with
"i had to unpin the apt pinning that blacklists pulseaudio and install pulseaudio"

how do i do it?

openbox is supposed to run in the background; it manages focus and gives it to the next program opened and returns it to XBMC upon exit. you won't see anything different untill you launch a second program such as chrome. a way to check if it is running is to use alt-tab to try to switch; if openbox is running you'll see a box showing xbmc as an option.

also, this will not change anything unless you log out and log back in. did you do that?

apt-pinning is done in /etc/apt by the XBMCbuntu team, to prevent an update to the underlying OS from installing it. there's some features they don't like, specifically with people who want no resampling to occur. however, i've found that since i have an older analog stereo the trade off is worth it for it to just work with my soundcard since it doesn't do hardware dmux and can only handle one input at a time.
