OK, I've lurked here long enough, now I need to ask for help.
I have XBMCbuntu installed to a 32G SSD. I have no menu sounds in XBMC (not a big deal) and no sound from anything that I try to play in the Chromium browser. I installed HuluDesktop, and it has the same problem, no sound. Audio from movies seems to work OK.
I thought the Audio Mixer add-on might solve my menu sound problem, but other than the title, the page is blank.
I logged into XBMCbuntu and tried to launch Alsamixer, but I get the error "Cannot open mixer:no such file or directory", yet the file exist at /usr/bin/alsamixer.
My goal is to get HuluDesktop working so I can use Advanced Launcher to start it from within XBMC. I'm operating under the assumption that the menu sound problem and the lack of sound outside XBMC may be related.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Has anyone else had a blank mixer?
Thanks
Tobor
