No GUI audio after update #783

Closed ilgrank closed 6 years ago

ilgrank commented 8 years ago

Hi I was on 14.2 since May, but since 15.2 was out, i did an upgrade all packages from the xbian ssh text interface. Everything went smooth, but now I have no gui audio even if gui audio is enabled in the system->settings->system->Audio Output

I'm running on a Raspberry pi 2, connected via HDMI. Can someone please help me? Thanks! :)

What's the setting of System-Settings->Audio output->Keep audio device alive and Play GUI sounds?

ilgrank commented 8 years ago

Hi mkreisl Play GUI sounds is set to "Only when playback is stopped" and Keep Audio device Alive is set to 1 minute

Thanks for your reply

mkreisl commented 8 years ago

@ilgrank Same settings here but I have GUI sounds

Are you using passthrough? If yes, then probably your volume settings is too low for hearing GUI sound - so disable passthrough - increase volume and try again please.

My settings are -14/3 db

I tried both with passthrough enabled and with passtrough disabled, same result. Also tried setting the volume of the tv to the max (50/50), still no sound. I tried also resetting the values to default (hdmi out, 2.0, no passthrough) and same result (no gui audio) is there any log I should look in? Btw, the audio of video files is fine. Thanks

no idea? :(

mkreisl commented 8 years ago

No, unfortunately not. The only thing you can try is starting kodi with a fresh environment:

sudo stop xbmc
cd /home/xbian
mv .kodi .kodi.bak
sudo start xbmc

and see if you have a GUI sound or not.

@ilgrank Just tested with RPi2 and fresh environment (see my previous post).

Works perfectly
