Most likely Kodibuntu is configured to use ALSA and Chrome is configured to use pulseaudio. So when you launch NetfliXBMC, Kodi has exclusive access to the audio device via ALSA.
Quote:Now if I log out of Kodi session, log back into Lubuntu session, start Netflix on Chrome browser I get audio back.
Your Lubuntu session is probably using pulseaudio and kodi will use pulseaudio by default if it's running.
Quote:This is where it gets weird. If I fire up Kodi within Lubuntu session and start NetfliXBMC I get typical Netflix error that another browser may be open. I close the previous browser tab, refresh Chrome and I have audio back within Kodi. I have tried closing this new Chrome tab, restart NetfliXBMC and I have persistently fine audio.
Can somebody explain what is going on?
No idea about this.
Quote:I would appreciate any help in configuring NetfliXBMC such that audio works first time when I boot into Kodi session.
Well you can read all about ALSA vs. pulseaudio and their interaction in the FAQ.
