Hi All,
OK, So I have a little problem. I can't seem to get audio working in a proper way on my NetTop
Facts:
NetTop: Foxconn nT-A3500
Mem: 4 GB 1333MHz CL9 (Kingston)
Disk: 80 GB Sata 2,5"
Receiver: Sony STR-3360S AV Receiver
TV: Philips 42PFL7404
I have tried different solutions posted here and on the wiki but no real solution as yet.
I have installed the system using my computer monitor over HDMI. Picture and sound are working although the sound quality is horrible due to the speakers in my monitor. The audio settings were:
Audio Output Device = HDMI
Passthrough Output Device=HDMI
Then I moved the box to my TV and connected it via HDMI to my receiver. The receiver is connected to the TV over HDMI. I changed no settings.
I did not get any sound at all. Played movies, TV shows, music but all failed to produce sound.
After some reading I came to the wiki page (http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php?title=...nn_nta3500) that should have helped. Created the asound.conf file and rebooted. Settings chenged in XBMC to:
Audio Output Device = custom - pcm.triple
Passthrough Output Device= custom - pcm.triple
Rebooted and got sound. But unfortunately only over my TV speakers and in a very poor quality. It sounded like a 50's radio
Then I tried this asound.conf:
With these settings:
Audio Output Device = custom - plughw:0,3
Passthrough Output Device= custom - plughw:0,3
Rebooted
Unfortunately without success
Finally I copied the sample file to asound.conf and changed the settings to:
Audio Output Device = custom - plughw:1,7
Passthrough Output Device= custom - plughw:1,7
Still nothing.
So I installed the 1.95.5 version released today. Same issues.
I am lost. Please Help!!!!
I have added the output of "aplay -l" to this post in the hope that it might help.
Thanks in advance!
