I am experiencing the exact same issue on Jaunty (amd64, nforce4 audio, nvidia 9500GT for hdmi & audio passthrough). I have created a "combined" Pulseaudio sink that directs audio to both the hdmi and analogue devices. While everything works perfectly on the analogue speakers, audio drops out intermittently on the hdmi connection (tested with xbmc 9.04.1). The issue is similar to the effect you get when you try to use an obsolete alsa application at the same time as pulseaudio - however, xbmc *should* be using pulse and the sound plays correctly on the analogue speakers.
Toggling the IE958 checkboxes in gnome-volume-control does not have any effect at all. Attached is my /etc/pulse/default.pa, which is silghtly modified from a vanilla instaleld (I have added a "load-module module-alsa-sink" line for the hdmi device, which was not recognized by the hal module, plus set the hdmi device as default). ** Attachment added: "default.pa" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/30910657/default.pa -- HDMI audio cuts out intermittently while normal audio plays fine https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/397269 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
