I'm not sure if I got it.. Did this problem got solved or not?

I have the same issue when it comes to sound drops: Ubuntu Jaunty, XBMC SVN (a few days old), ALSA v1.0.21, e-mu 1820 soundcard.

Other sound issues are: Load pop when booting. No sound when resuming from standby (S3).

Any suggestions are highly appreciated.

a few others and me are having a simmilar issue in another thread with sound drops, maybe it would be wise to merge these topics?

Regarding sound drops I have had: It was a bad cable between the pci card and the dock that caused this:o

I still have the suspend issue though..

Hi all,

I just bought a Revo R3600 and installed XBMC (9.04.1) via the Live USB method (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=53888) and I'm getting sound drops and in some cases a loud hiss instead of sound.

Unfortunately I'm a total noob on Linux (hence the easy install method) so know very little about linux or even how to update XBMC on it!

I can connect via SSH using filezilla, so thats a start - also as you may have guessed I'm a windows user to boot! (Please don't burn me!!)

It seems the first thing I need to do is update ALSA but I'm not sure how!

Anyway any help would be great.

Cheers,

Lumpsack

Update: I tried updating ALSA as per this guide: http://monespaceperso.org/blog-en/2009/0...unty-9-04/ but the problem persists.

Further to the above - which was vague I know (sorry!) here is my debug log: http://pastebin.com/m3804e742 - this was with sound dropping out just before I stopped playback.

Okay I tried some dirty hack - no idea if this is how you're supposed to update XBMC - I copied the .xbmc folder back to my PC then from the alpha1 USB stick I copied and renamed the dotxbmc folder. (I did try an update via USB but it keeled over)

I'm still getting sound drops, but I can now play the movies that had the cracking sound, so its a step in the right direction.

Tomorrow I should get the 2nd GB of memory and will be able to up the buffer to 512 (from 256) so maybe that will help too.

anyone find a solution for this?

have the same problem with .ts streams

Using 9.11 and latest alsa but problem still persists.

[Lumpsack]

Unfortunatly not for this - I dropped live and went with a minimal linux install and installed XBMC to that and it worked fine.

Sorry but I wasn't getting any feedback so needed a working solution and sadly know very little about linux

[moontan77]

seems like its some buffer problem, hopefully someone looks into this but there are so many posts in this linux section that this thread will disappear again in no time

[moontan77]

anyone have a solution for the alsa error: -32 - Broken pipe on acer revo's ?

Sound is dropping for me on tvheadend streams and this is the error that appears in the log each time it happens. Really annoying tbh and a real show stopper for using tvheadend. Only noticed this with tvheadend streams.

[moontan77]

Anyone else have this problem and find a solution for it?

Happens with both hdmi and optical.


I know this thread is for an old version of xbmc, but i still have this problem with dharma.

Have 3 nvidia ion pc's and its happening with all 3.

Having the same error and sound drops.

Alsa 1.0.23, latest xbmc-svn on asrock ion 330 hardware. Seems like a common problem but I can't seem to find any solution that actually works for me.
