Hi

Build seems to be working fine otherwise.

After about 6 minutes of video playback, the audio becomes what sounds like stuttering, but I actually think is a very short echo. I have fiddled with the audio settings to no avail.

Once I have stopped the video and resumed from the same place I get about another 6 minutes of grace before it happens again.

I have the log file and want to attach it to this post, but there appears to be no way to do that. Odd.

Would be very grateful of some help.

Thanks for all the pointers, I'll get all this info together I post this evening (UK time!).

So, as above, but now hopefully properly reported:

After five or six minutes I can hear the sound on video playback starting to distort until after around 10 minutes it becomes so bad I have to stop the video and resume again, the same issue will repeat itself after a similar amount of time. It sounds like it could be an echo.

Any help much appreciated.

@jim68:

Please remove /etc/asound.conf and also remove the .asoundrc in your home directory (see the "." infront of .asoundrc.)

Afterwards restart xbmc, check your Audio config and retry.

Many thanks. I couldn't find asound.conf in /etc (where could it be?), but did find and remove .asoundrc.

Restarting gave no sound at all, but with some fiddling, setting the output to HDMI NVIDIA seems to work. However, the sound is very very low, so during playback I've had to boost it, I haven't worked out how to boost the audio by default, but I guess that it for another thread!

alsamixer -c0 and press "+" in xbmc or edit guisettings.xml and set the audio level to 1.0

Went for the second option. So far so wonderful. Many thanks indeed.
