### Load several protocols
.ifexists module-esound-protocol-unix.so

### Network access (may be configured with paprefs, so leave this commented

### Load the RTP receiver module (also configured via paprefs, see above)
#load-module module-rtp-recv

### Load the RTP sender module (also configured via paprefs, see above)
#load-module module-null-sink sink_name=rtp format=s16be channels=2 rate=44100 sink_properties="device.description='RTP Multicast Sink'"
#load-module module-rtp-send source=rtp.monitor

### Load additional modules from GConf settings. This can be configured with the paprefs tool.
### Please keep in mind that the modules configured by paprefs might conflict with manually
### loaded modules.

.nofail
load-module module-gconf

### Automatically restore the default sink/source when changed by the user

load-module module-default-device-restore

### Automatically move streams to the default sink if the sink they are
### connected to dies, similar for sources
load-module module-rescue-streams

### Make sure we always have a sink around, even if it is a null sink.
load-module module-always-sink

### Honour intended role device property
load-module module-intended-roles

### Automatically suspend sinks/sources that become idle for too long
load-module module-suspend-on-idle

### If autoexit on idle is enabled we want to make sure we only quit

### Enable positioned event sounds
load-module module-position-event-sounds

### Cork music/video streams when a phone stream is active
load-module module-role-cork

### Modules to allow autoloading of filters (such as echo cancellation)

### make sense, and module-filter-apply does the heavy-lifting of
### loading modules and rerouting streams.
load-module module-filter-heuristics
load-module module-filter-apply

### Load DBus protocol
.ifexists module-dbus-protocol.so
load-module module-dbus-protocol

I have been messing arounf in the pulseaudio config and now im just getting really confused.
If anyone has any clues please help

thanks [/code]











After playing with configs for hours nothing worked.
I emerged gnome-media went into the sound application in in prefrences on the desktop.
Disabled the internal card and choose one of the 4 hdmi options and it worked.
For some reason inside XBMC the sound output is analog and not HDMI but there is only a HDMI cabled plugged in but its working so I am happy

thanks
