I got no sound with the Alpha buid either and I am on intel. Not wishing to go through yet another shit fest I reverted to an earlier build pretty swiftish. The Harmony was all screwed up as well, stop no longer worked and what used to page back went left instead.

No log. I might take the risk and try again today.

Make sure you have Harmony Remote selected as the remote in the XBMC hardware settings. It's most likely set as Apple Remote.

Is this a new change then? Its always been set to apple remote.

It's been that way for weeks in SVN, don't recall when exactly it was introduced.

Reproduced. Clean and complete log here.

sircube, ssh when playing that video and run top to see the CPU usage of XBMC.

you might need to "sudo chmod +s /usr/bin/top"

Basically, CPU is being saturated when playing those video files. Not much you can do. I seem to remember the problem ones having five ref frames while the others having 3 refs frames.

Here's the xbmc.log file when I try to play a movie and get no sound. PPC G5, 10.5.8.

I'm not sure if my input matters since I dont have a log, but im using Alpha 911 on my ATV and I also do not get any audio...

Just using HDMI straight to the TV, dont have a recieve or any of that stuff... Im soooooo glad its an error on xbmc's side, it took me a couple hours to realize this! Thought my ATV was going bad, phew!

looks like 911.a1, give 911.a2 a try. there were changes in digital audio.

@davilla, I just reverted back to a normal build, but it was which ever one shows up under ATV's menu in downloads?

That's somehow good news. It means that AAC encoded 5.1 stream can be passed to AV receiver theoretically on OSX/coreaudio.

So basically if I'd rip the video stream off and leave the audio in with AAC 5.1 the ATV CPU should be able to play it fine. I might give a try and play with it today. I can send you the logs and maybe the video sample.

Davilla, thanks for taking care of it so far.

Sorry, still no sound.

Here's how to reproduce. Rip a move. Use handbrake to convert a chapter, using only AC3 pass through sound. Play with XBMC.

How about you place a sample were we devs can get it.
