Hi! I'm having an issue with my HTPC computer. I was using it with WBMC, and using a HDMI cable to output the video and audio from my computer to the TV.
When I first installed Debian a year ago I have some problems ([1]),but them was solved using a ~/.asoundrc configuration file. I was happy with my computer, but a few days ago I realized that my Debian Sid become a little outdated, when I try to install the experimental version of XBMC. Before upgrading XBMC I decided to upgrade the whole system (around 300 packages, only upgrade, not dist-upgrade). The upgrade process was fine and I rebooted the computer. The surprise comes when I try to use my XBMC installation and the sound is not working at all. No errors are shown, the configuration file is in its place. I checked the "mute" checkboxes on my alsaconfig, and all appears to be ok. I don't know where to start to look for a solution. Anybody knows what can be wrong? Anybody had a similar problem? Thanks in advance [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2012/05/msg00056.html Some (maybe) helpful outputs: $ lspci | grep -i -e audio 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) 02:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1) $ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC892 Analog [ALC892 Analog] Subdevices: 0/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: ALC892 Digital [ALC892 Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 7: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 8: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 9: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 $ aplay -L null Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture) pulse PulseAudio Sound Server default Playback/recording through the PulseAudio sound server sysdefault:CARD=Intel HDA Intel, ALC892 Analog Default Audio Device front:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, ALC892 Analog Front speakers surround40:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, ALC892 Analog 4.0 Surround output to Front and Rear speakers surround41:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, ALC892 Analog 4.1 Surround output to Front, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround50:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, ALC892 Analog 5.0 Surround output to Front, Center and Rear speakers surround51:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, ALC892 Analog 5.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround71:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, ALC892 Analog 7.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Side, Rear and Woofer speakers iec958:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, ALC892 Digital IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=0 HDA NVidia, HDMI 0 HDMI Audio Output hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=1 HDA NVidia, HDMI 0 HDMI Audio Output hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=2 HDA NVidia, HDMI 0 HDMI Audio Output hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=3 HDA NVidia, HDMI 0 HDMI Audio Output
