(this has happened on > multiple devices with HDMI outputs, both Nvidia and intel i have seen it on > + i have heard reports of it happening on ATI devices as well) What version of pulseaudio do you have? There's support for multiple HDMI devices per card since 2.0. If you already have pulseaudio 2.0 or later, you can try copying /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/profile-sets/extra-hdmi.conf to /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/profile-sets/default.conf (backing up default.conf first is a good idea). If this makes things work, then there's something wrong in the vendor detection (only NVidia and Intel are supported currently). If that doesn't work, please attach the verbose pulseaudio log. Instructions for getting that log: <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio/Log">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio/Log</a> > It selects the first device on the card, does everything correctly, however > this is not the live output for the device.

Judging from the XBMC forum thread, you mean playing back non-PCM (i.e. compressed) audio in a passthrough mode. I'm not sure if pulseaudio supports passthrough with HDMI (I can see there's some code that suggests that it's supported), and I don't know if XBMC supports passthrough with pulseaudio at all (I'm not an XBMC user and I don't have hardware for testing it anyway). > See the following mailing list conversation from a staff member at Nvidia > around this issue: > <a href="http://www.mail-archive.com/pulseaudio-discuss@mail.0pointer.de/msg07447.html">http://www.mail-archive.com/pulseaudio-discuss@mail.0pointer.de/msg07447.html</a> > > As well as this old bug report on the TRAC which lines up with the problems > im having and could probably be closed with this bug report once fixed: > <a href="http://www.pulseaudio.org/ticket/909">http://www.pulseaudio.org/ticket/909</a> That bug should be fixed in 2.0.
