When i launch mame roms using the Advanced Launcher on Ubuntu 12.04 the game starts and uses hardware acceleration no problem.
The issue is no sound, yet all sounds are working in XBMC menu, Live TV, movies and TV show etc
I have a minimal install of Ubuntu so no GDM is installed. To test i copied and modified the script /usr/bin/runXBMC to runMAME and added and argument to take the rom name and changed 2 instances of:
"/usr/bin/xbmc --standalone" -> "/usr/games/mame ${args[0]}"
service stop xbmc-live
./runMAME romname
This launches mame with the specified rom using hardware acceleration and with full sound.
I would rather get sound working with mame via advanced launcher, but XBMC appears to not want to share the sound
Sound is set to HDMI for audio and pass through, the HDMI goes to a receiver then to the TV
I have trawled through the xbmc.log and cannot see any related errors.
any help appreciated, can post logs if necessary..
