Hi Everyone, I setup XBMC on my Arch install. I wanted to make XBMC standalone so I did:
systemctl enable xbmc Everything was fine for a while , except that it didn't always boot straight into XBMC but ..one problem at a time.
Fast-forward, I updated recently (pacman -Syy then pacman -Syu)
I boot in...
No sound...
I checked my groups and the XBMC user is in the Audio group...I can get my sound to work if I login to a XFCE session and then launch XBMC.
When I boot straight into XBMC.. No sound.
The audio output options are different as well...
This is driving me crazy, can someone help Please.
Cheers,

Are you sure your user needs to be in the audio group? I think systemd doesn't like that.
Post what packages did you update.
What do you mean by 'no sound'? More details please.
Edit: I see that xbmc service file got changed https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … 13e315dea8 but I don't know if it matters.

I'm currently not home but I will remove xbmc from audio and let you know how that goes.
How would I get a list of what I updated?
By no sound , I mean nothing has sound. moving around in the menus on XBMC I hear no clicks. I run a movie, show, music and etc..no sound.
Thanks for your reply.

Check pacman's log.
While you're at it, check other logs and systemd's journal for anything related to the audio issue.
It may not matter, but are you using HDMI for audio?

Aye, I am using HDMI for audio.

I ended up installing the beta of Gotham XBMCbuntu and the sound issue is resolved..Thanks for your time and effort though.
