Hi list,

I didnt followed the mantra "If its working dont fix it" and made a kernel upgrade to 2.6.31 on a stock ubuntu 9.04. Everything was working great before that.

Since then I have no sound in playback of movie (SD and HD) and neither with mp3 music. Yes I feel really stupid

I didnt change anything to my settings in xbmc. I have only compiled a new kernel and booted (successfully) on it. I have rebooted on the stock kernel with no luck for my sound problem. My A/V receiver seems to receive no sound signal as it is not anymore switching mode when receiving DTS, DD+ etc... Video playback is okay.

What can I do to troubleshot this ?
thanks a lot.

Here is my setup:

Hardware:
PoV 330 - ION
Sounds go from an HDMI output to an A/V receiver

Software:

Code:

xbmc@xbmc:~$ uname -a
Linux xbmc 2.6.28-13-generic #45-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 30 19:49:51 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

xbmc: XBMC pre-9.10 r22133 (12 August 2009)

Code:

xbmc@xbmc:~$ aplay -l

(I followed the "HOW-TO make a minimal install of Ubuntu on Acer Revo ION in under 25 minutes" for my setup)

Okay I am definitively not a nobel's price winner.

For whatever reason my sound output was muted by the kernel upgrade. I've been in alsamixer and unmuted it.

Everything's working now.

Sorry

45 minute to search why no sound ...

There are a command to set master channel to unmute by script ?

i've always found that once i unmute a channel it just gets saved that way without having to script it.... i've never understood why everyone talks about needing to script it.

the solution for me :

use sudo alsamixer to set sound as you like
then record your config with sudo alsactl store on next reboot the sound will be resored /etc/init.d/alsa-utils.
