I just went from 14.04 to 16.04 and can not seem to get alsa working
I forgotten to backup my kodi.desktop link I used
AE_SINK=ALSA kodi via terminal is not working for me
and I actual used to use something stored inside the kodi.desktop that worked flawlessly with out creating any other scripts
I just can not work out what it was that I used for force alsa
any idea's what I might have done ? I have a feeling it went like
Exec=env AE_SINK=ALSA kodi
how ever I have noticed my sound drivers are screwed up ( no 5.1 ) so it might be something else not allowing alsa
it thinks its doing pass-through but the spdif has pulse audio still showing on the output
