Sorry I did not understand the lingo the other times. Are you asking for logs? Is that what that means?
If that is the case, I can provide them.

All that was said in the past posts was about xbmc gotham. 12.3 was not part of the equation.
Frodo 12.3 has no pulseaudio sink.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Yes, but remember I went back thinking Gotham/PA was the problem. Knowing I have a viable solution now, I can certainly go back up to Gotham and even go as far as re-installing PA if you think you may want to see some of that. I am not sure which combination would perform better. 12.3/ALSA, Gothatm/ALSA, Gotham/PA.

It depends on what you need. If you want xbmc as your htpc - then pure alsa is the way to go. If you need a running browser, full blown desktop - then pulseaudio is the way to go (but dts-hd, truehd) won't passthrough anymore.

Hi all,
Today i upgraded my xbmc 12.3 to 13.0. As a result audio playback of TrueHD DTS video files stopped working. On my receiver I see 48Khz source but hear only silence.
I am using gentoo and never installed pulseaudio on this system. Always have "-pulseaudio" in the use settings.
Before the upgrade truehd file played with no problem. After the upgrade in the System-Audio, the option 'TrueHD Capable receiver" is missing. Have only DTS and AC3.
I generated and uploaded debug file with ID=198807, hope this helps.
P.S. Restarted the Receiver and the computer several times hoping that some "handshaking" is wrong but always the same bad result.

I changed the device for normal pcm output as you suggested. The result is still no sound from mp3 playback.
And still no sound from dtshd movies.
Let me notice that with 12.3 both were fine. Nothing else is changed in the system except xbmc upgrade.

post aplay -l and aplay -L
then tell me which speaker-test -c2 -D "plughw:x,y" works - so I can compare with the xbmc output.
