Hi All,
Hello,
I've been trying to configure my Shuttle XS35GT (ION2 HDMI) with ALSA (without pulse as I want pass-through) for the past 2 days. I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 and have now compiled nvidia drivers and alsa from source code on kernel 2.6.35-24-generic.
I too have got an XS35GT, and I have sound over HDMI working satisfactory (for my purposes, at least).
Running Debian unstable, I have compiled my own kernel (2.6.35.4) and I use the latest Nvidia drivers (260.19.29) which I re-installed yesterday.
It's connected via HDMI to my Philips 47PFL7404H/12 TV. Philips seems to be making the only TVs on earth that can take 5.1 audio from HDMI and pass it on to my 5.1 receiver, using a coaxial S/PDIF cable. All other TVs seem to be downmixing to 2.1 or 2.0 before sending audio on to a receiver through (optical) S/PDIF.
I cannot for the life of me get it working... I can play standard sound like "speaker-test -c 2 -D plughw:1,7" but when it comes to speaker-test -c 5 -d plughw:1,7 it throws "xrun_recovery failed: -5,Input/output error"
Same thing for me, which surprises me since I do have 5.1 sound working when playing DVDs etc. through mplayer.
Also, when testing mplayer with an AC3 encoded sound file it throws ========== Forced audio codec: hwac3 Opening audio decoder: [hwac3] AC3/DTS pass-through S/PDIF hwac3: switched to AC3, 448000 bps, 48000 Hz AUDIO: 48000 Hz, 2 ch, ac3be, 448.0 kbit/29.17% (ratio: 56000->192000) Selected audio codec: [hwac3] afm: hwac3 (AC3 through S/PDIF) ========================================================================== [AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: conf.c:4484:(parse_args) Unknown parameter AES0 [AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: conf.c:4617:(snd_config_expand) Parse arguments error: No such file or directory [AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: pcm.c:2211:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM plughw:0,7,AES0=6 AO: [alsa] 48000Hz 2ch ac3be (2 bytes per sample) =============
I too get similar error output, but I still get 5.1 audio (just tried with my Bjork "Volta" 5.1 DVD). My mplayer command, as you'll see in the attached mplayer_tv_real.sh, is basically this:
$ mplayer -ac hwac3,a52, -ao alsa:device=hw=1.7 dvdnav://and I just discovered that hw=1.3 and hw=1.8 works just as well, but for some reason hw=1.9 is mute. I see you use hw=0.7, try 1.7 instead.
I've attached aplay -l and aplay -L output in the aplay.txt file. Driver is loaded with options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=0
Same thing here, according to my /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf .
I've read 1000's and 1000's of posts and tried alot of "fixes" but nothing has worked.Any help would be much appreciated!
I have attached output from "aplay -l", "aplay -L", "dpkg -l" (gzipped), and "zcat /proc/config.gz > config" (gzipped), as well as my $HOME/.alsactl.store (generated with "/usr/sbin/alsactl -F -f $HOME/.alsactl.store store"), /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, plus two scripts I use to run mplayer (mplayer_tv.sh calls mplayer_tv_real.sh, as you will see).
Hopefully looking through my working config will help you come closer to audio working the way you want.
The XS35 is a really nice piece of hardware, but DVDs do tend to get hot when played, and the LEDs on the XS35GT are annoying. And I really think Shuttle should have included an optical or coax S/PDIF output, but since they didn't I have bought a Sweex SC016 USB 7.1 soundcard, to be able to listen to stuff in 5.1 without having to go through my TV. Haven't hooked it up and configured it yet, though...
