I have the famous no sound in advanced launcher lanched applications I've read quite a lot and tried many different solutions though.
One of them was the solution by Angelscry in post #4705 in this thread:
Adding ~/.asoundrc:
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
device 3
}
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 0
device 3
}
Card 0, dev 3 should be right because speaker-test -D hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=3 -c 6 works fine. And I only have one card (0). Please note that speaker-test -D hw:0,3 -c 6 doesn't produce any sound.
aplay -D hw:0,3 wavfile.wav doesn't work either. It's finding the device. But no sound.
Also when I start Spotify the playing bar moves, but no sound is heard. If I change device in .asoundrc (to something other than 3) playback doesn't start at all and the playing bar does not move. So I'm quite certain I have the correct card/device. Sound doesn't work in Firefox or Chromium either. No spdif devices are muted in alsamixer.
I've also tried to toggle the setting in advanced launcher to stop or let play the xbmc sound. I'm also of course using the correct system/sound settings i xbmc (I've tried both hdmi and analogue here), and also with or without navigation sounds. All sound works fine in xbmc otherwise.
I'm using XBMCbuntu 12.2.
Any advice on how to continue?
