Help! No Sound!
#1
Hi

I'm new to XBMC, I recently set up my system, I'm using the Live version on a Acer Aspire Revo R3700 Desktop plugged into a Samsung TV.

I tried to follow this guide to setup:-

http://uk.lifehacker.com/5391308/build-a...-the-cheap

I downloaded Live from this site and used UNebootin to put the installer on a USB stick.

I think it refers to an older version of XBMC Live as some of the setup menus were different so I set up the sound etc myself.

Right now I get sound for dvds I've copied (I just did a rip of the TS folders) but I don't get any sounds for any files I have (.MKV, .AVI etc etc) I also don't have any menu sounds but right now thats more of a nice to have.

I've also installed XBMC on a windows PC and the audio for these files plays fine.

Can anyone help please?

My audio output settings:-

Audio Output = HDMI
Speak configuration = 2.0
Boost Volume Level on downmix = yes
Dold Digital (AC3) capable receiver = yes
DTS Capable receive = yes
Audio Output Device = HDA Nvidia hdmi
Passthrough output device = HDA Nvidia hdmi

I did a forum seach before I started but couldn't find anyone with this problem, but I noticed others with sound issues have posted the output from "aplay..." I'm not sure what that is or how to do it....

Thanks in advance!
