For the longest time, I've been running XBMC v10, but wanting airplay capability, I updated to the latest stable version. Now my audio no longer works in XBMC. My system sound works, and other apps work as well, just not XBMC.
I've tried messing around with the settings in XBMC to no avail, restarting the app multiple times after changing something, all without success. I'm using an NVidia GeForce 9800 GT video card, which takes the S/PDIF output from the onboard sound, a RealTek device, and outputting over HDMI to my home theatre receiver.
As far as I can tell, XBMC kept all my previous settings (save for my theme), so it should have worked straight off the bat. Is there something I'm missing?
UPDATE: I've updated my video and chipset drivers to the latest and greatest, which hasn't solved the problem. I would have updated my audio driver, except I already have the latest one listed on my motherboard manufacturers website.
I've also done some more research, and apparently, the folks behind XBMC replaced the audio backend between my previous version and the current version. I'm thinking this is the probable cause of my issues.

Have you confirmed that outside of XBMC, audio is still working flawlessly? This just confirms that the audio is in fact screwed up in XBMC specifically. – David – 2013-02-13T01:22:11.687
@David: Yes, I believe I said that in the question. Youtube TV with Firefox works fine. – MBraedley – 2013-02-13T01:23:56.947
Sorry about that @MBraedley. I was just glancing past your question while I was working and didn't notice it. I am going to ponder on you questions for a little bit. I will let you know if I think of anything. In theory it should still work... – David – 2013-02-13T02:27:05.650
