Hi,
i just installed XBMC 12.3 on my iMac 24-inch (early 2009) running with OSX 10.9.1 Mavericks.
I hear the menu sound but when i play movies or PVR, there is no audio.
Any ideas?
Thank you and Merry Christmas
Dennis

I get no audio in OSX 10.9.1 on my 2012 Mac Mini unless I change audio output device to "Default", Audio Output to HDMI, Multi-Channel LPCM receiver to YES (checked). All three of those have to be set that way or I get no audio what-so-ever.
5.1 Audio won't play (downmix to) stereo, though. I only get two of the channels (speaker setup is set to 2.1). And I'm NOT using HDMI for audio (one of my two monitors does have HDMI and it will work in OSX, but that monitor is off right now. I'm just talking about my analog output connected to Klipsch THX 2.1 speakers.
I did not have this problem in Eden and I don't think I had it before in alpha Gotham (Oct13) I tried out one time, but running that Gotham alpha I get no sound now at any setting so I'm not certain. Running Eden gives full sound with either "analog" or "HDMI" settings and works as expected with everything (all downmix, DTS, etc. work fine).
Edit: OK, after a bit of testing with the application support files and what not, I finally figured out what was causing the loss of audio. I had speaker setup set to 2.1, but it's apparently not a "real' 2.1 speaker setup (i.e. no separate sub channel, but rather a sub/sat through analog setup). Setting it back to 2.0 (I don't think 2.1 existed in Eden, just 2.0) got sound working again regardless of all the other settings stored in Application Support.

It would appear (after installing XBMC 12.3 on another Mac) that it seems to default to a speaker configuration of 2.1 if the previous version was 2.0 in Eden). If i erase the configuration data, then it seems to default to 2.0 instead so maybe it's an upgrade issue. I don't know what upgrading to 12.3 from Eden would do if it was set to 4.1 or 5.1 or whatever.

might be the upgrade path from eden to frodo - yeah. 2.0 is the correct default for most setups (including pass thrpough of 5.1 via ac3/dts!).
