Post subject:  No system sound

I recently upgraded to the latest knoppmyth, and generally things work fine. I can hear sound when wathing live TV or recordings. I can't hear sound when trying to listen to a shoutcast stream, or when using any other external application like xine or VLC.

I did a alsaconf and check my alsamixer and all seems good there. Any ideas why I only get sound when watching TV?

I also had the same problem after upgrading to R5F27, TV and recording were fine, no sound elsewhere.

My solution seems a bit like magic, but it worked for me. Since you mentioned you checked your alsamixer, I won't give excessive details.

First, I did an alsaconf and then alsamixer. While in alsamixer I noticed that some of my sound devices had been muted for unknown reasons. Double chech your alsamixer for MM vs 00. After I fixed that, I then did:
Code:
/usr/sbin/alsactl store

to ensure my changes were stored (as root of course).

This made my videos work , but my mythgames still did not get sound, purely on a guess I changed the "Pass Through output device" setting in my Utilities and Setting -> Setup -> General from ALSA: iec958:{AE50 0x02} back to "Default". Now my games worked and TV did not. Switching back to ALSA: iec958:{AE50 0x02} then everything else came back to life and mythgames continued to work.

I'm no expert, so hopefully you can find something usefull here.

Nope, that didn't work for me. Very frustrating! This all worked fine previously.

I even tried setting the audio device to ALSA:hw:0,0 (which is my analog audio device) and again, myth tv works great, but Xine, VLC, and streaming radio have no sound!

Update: On a whim I changed the audio setting in Xine from auto to alsa,.. no good. Changed to oss and it works!

Post subject:  Also having issues with Chaintech SPDIF and Xine

Hello,

I recently upgraded to R5F27, and at the same time, I added a Chaintech sound card to my system so I could have digital audio.

I can get digital audio via the Internal player, but I like to use Xine for some video files. Unfortunately, as my system currently stands, I get no audio through Xine.

I've tried following various tips and tricks, but it seems like there's a lot of outdated information out there.

Question for you, ErikU - how do you enable OSS in Xine?

Also, I think I have xine set to a rather low "user experience" level. Is there an easy way to change that config?

Thanks!
