HI,
I've been using v9 xbmc live on my revo for a while now with working audio & video.
Just completed a fresh install of v10 XBMC live onto the revo, but cannot get audio working eith video dts or flac. Normally my AV amp would click when a dts video starts and kickout in 5.1.
I've changed the xbmc system settings, but nothing so far.
thanks

i had 9.11 live working perfectly on my revo before i decided to move to dharma 10.
found that i no had sound at all.
configured it to get some pcm sound for mp3s and such, then i decided to just install a windows version.
hated the windows version and went straight back to live.
this thread was perfect for getting everything setup quickly with xbmc live 10.
thanks a bunch!

I was running Dharma beta 1 and all was fine. I decided to upgrade Dharma and now have no navigation sounds or any sound in any file I play. I get an error saying 'failed to initialize audio device check your audio settings'
I have tried the suggestions above. My audio settings are:
output : hdmi
speaker config : 5.1
dolby digital checked
dts checked
audio output device : hdmi
passthrough device : hdmi
I tried go to programs from the main menu, then audio mixer. Unmute any iec devices. but when I load audio mixer, it just flashes and shows a black screen.
Please help

You can download audiomixer from the "get more" option in programs. Another thing to try is deleting /home/xbmc/.asoundrc then reboot
cheers

I have audio mixer now but it just flashes on the screen for a split second and then shows a black screen with an 'x' in the top right corner. I don't get the opportunity to unmute anything.

Try open the Audio Mixer in Programs then unmute IEC958, 0 and 1.

Ive tried the above mentioned methods but i can only get some files to play with sound. Im running xbmc thru hdmi direct to tv and strangly enough the files im having trouble getting to work are stereo sound.
Example:
Video: XVID 720x404 29.97fps 1199Kbps [Video 0]
Audio: MPEG Audio Layer 3 22050Hz stereo 128Kbps [Audio 1]
My settings are:
Audio output: HDMI
Speaker Config: 2.0
Boost: checked
Dolby AC3: checked
DTS Capable: checked
Audio Output: HDMI
Passthrough: HDMI
Also if it helps, these settings worked on previous xbmcfreak releases
TIA, Davo
