Hi, I am setting up a fresh install of XBMCbuntu 11. At first no sound was running through the HDMI port (not even when watching a video in Chromium on YouTube). I created a .asoundrc and set the "hdmi:HDMI" device as the default. Now I get sound from Chrome. However, I get no sound in XBMC even after fiddling with the audio settings.

Here is the output from aplay -l:

Code:

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: VT1708S Analog [VT1708S Analog]
  Subdevices: 2/2
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
  Subdevice #1: subdevice #1
card 1: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Subdevices: 0/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

Here is the output of aplay -L (only for the HDMI "card"):

Code:

hdmi:CARD=HDMI,DEV=0
    HDA ATI HDMI, HDMI 0
    HDMI Audio Output
dmix:CARD=HDMI,DEV=3
    HDA ATI HDMI, HDMI 0
    Direct sample mixing device
dsnoop:CARD=HDMI,DEV=3
    HDA ATI HDMI, HDMI 0
    Direct sample snooping device
hw:CARD=HDMI,DEV=3
    HDA ATI HDMI, HDMI 0
    Direct hardware device without any conversions
plughw:CARD=HDMI,DEV=3
    HDA ATI HDMI, HDMI 0
    Hardware device with all software conversions

Here is my .asoundrc:

Code:

pcm.!default hdmi:HDMI

In XBMC I have the output set to HDMI and I have tried setting the Audio Output and Passthrough to things such as:

• hdmi:HDMI
  
• alsa:hdmi:HDMI
  
• hdmi:CARD=HDMI,DEV=0
  
• alsa:hdmi:CARD=HDMI,DEV-0
  
• Selecting the one that sounds right, ATI HDMI, or similar.
  

What else should I try?

Thanks!
