No Systemsounds, no Audio-Sound but Movie-Sound

[moviefan65]

Hello,
i have a little weard problem.
I use Openelec Stable build 6.0.3 on two different systems.
On one (AMD 350-Mainboard) everything works fine, on the other (ESPRIMO Q900) i have sound-problems via HDMI.
I didn't hear the system-sound (the click when moving the cursor etc.) and nothing while using e.g. radio-app listening a radio-station.
If i play a movie or a tv-series, there is sound, but no sound in the other cases.
Any idea's what's wrong?
I tried different settings - passthrough on and off, 5.1 or stereo, allways on, etc.

MovieFan, it sounds like your problem is very similar in nature to my very own problem I posted about recently.

I am going to guess the ESPRIMO Q900 is using Intel graphics?

Try and reduce the resolution to 480p and reboot the machine, and see if you get your system sounds back? I know that is what I had to to on my Intel NUC. When I am running at 1080p @ 60Hz I get no system sounds or music playback, but passthru audio to my receiver like DTS-HD MA or Dolby TruHD works just fine.

I will be monitoring this thread very closely in case one of the experts chimes in on your thread as opposed to mine.

This seems to be something else, as mentioned by markfarr, but have you checked the volume? I've had the same problem on my RPI recently and somehow the playback volume was all the way down.

To check: start a movie, go to sound settings on playback, turn off passtrough and take the slider on top all the way to the right.
