I just bought this USB to optical audio adapter to connect to my PowerBook G4 running Tiger 10.4.11 and XBMC 9.04.1.
I found that it works perfectly in Mac OS X Tiger with System Preferences - Sound. It also works for the XBMC GUI interface sounds and also for playing videos.
However it inexplicably does not play with normal Music. No sound is output playing music files. However, the additional odd thing is that the counter on the music tracks stays at 0:00.
If I switch to analog/built-in sound, then the counter progresses and music plays normally.
I also discovered that sometimes I had to quit and restart XBMC for the sound hardware settings to "stick" even though they are updated in the GUI.
Rather aggravating. Hope this problem can be fixed. Had high hopes for this approach!
Here is the pastebin log.
