I have nearly completed my xbmc eden install but can't seem to get menu sounds to work. I edited the .asoundrc file to what it was during dharma but that didn't seem to work. Any ideas? I figured this has been answered but I couldn't find a link.

my menu sounds used to work beautifully until xbmc hung up and i could only reboot my system. After that, I haven't heard a peep from the menu...

We need to know what hardware you're using and what the output of aplay -l (lowercase L) is before helping you out. Do you have an /etc/asound.conf file? What are your audio output devices set to in XBMC?

When I enter

Code:

aplay -l

This is the output of aplay -l:

Code:

root@ted-Aspire-R1600:~$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: ALC662 rev1 Analog [ALC662 rev1 Analog]
  Subdevices: 0/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0:  NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

no /etc/asound.conf file present
audio output is HDMI, Audio output device is set to hdmi (ALSA) and passthrough output device is set to HDA NVidia-hdmi-3 (ALSA)


I have sound for all the files I've done so far, some didnt (mvk, etc.) but then I clicked output on all speakers and they came up.

I have the same problem I am also running a Revo 1600 with eden. Passthrough audio(AC3 etc...) works great, Movies encoded with mp3 audio will play fine, but I can't for the life of me make menu sounds work.

In my case there is no .asoundrc file present.

Try this, create an /etc/asound.conf file with the following:

Code:

pcm.!default {
   type plug
   slave {
       pcm "hw:0,3"
       rate 48000
   }
}

Then in the audio output and passthrough device settings check "Custom" and for the device enter plughw:0,3 (remember, it's case-sensitive). That should get everything working, if not post back.

Way back when I switched to XBMC I had the same problem. I'd gotten rid of PulseAudio and I'd created a .asoundrc file and had audio (including AC3 and DTS) over HDMI working, But I couldn't get menu sounds no matter what. Finally a caught of mention of a library I didn't have installed: libsdl1.2debian-alsa. Installing that library fixed it.

Glad to hear it worked for you. Enjoy the beauty that is XBMC.

spoke too soon, I've been having major problems with some files not playing, others only playing if i change settings, menu sounds going away after a movie and xbmc crashing.

Here is my latest crash log: http://pastebin.com/rgEUSZLU

thanks a lot, after I installed libsdl1.2debian-alsa i got the menu sounds back.
