Anybody have any ideas what I can do?

Changing skin doesn't seem to matter.

Worst I have seen it is on a CD1, CD2 type DVDRip .avi, although I haven't seen a pattern in terms of the video file (ie, high-end 1080p content doesn't necessarily seem to make it worse)

The .avi may well be being played back with CPU decoding in software, whereas MPEG2, H264 and VC-1 stuff is likely to be played back with GPU acceleration, which will mean the CPU runs at very low utilisation (and a lot cooler)

Does your fan kick in?

EDIT: I'm assuming I need to factory reset back into ChromeOS? Or is there a way I can sideload some linux version to copy the older version of LibreELEC to the update folder? I can't seem to get recovery to work. Do I have to hit CTLR-D or just use the recovery button? The recovery button shows a screen of something real quick and then continues into LibreELEC and hangs.

Thanks for any help.

Is this a known issue?
I vaguely remember having to go through various steps all that time ago when I was originally setting up in order to make analogue work?
Anyone have any suggestions?

define "lost the ability." There's no series of steps or any such voodoo, you simply select the analog output from the audio output device list. I just tested here on 8.0.2 and works fine

When I select analogue audio I don't have any audio

It's just the analogue audio output on the chrome box that doesn't work.
Anyone got any ideas? Or any other forums I should post in?

Have you booted another Linux distro, or even a LE install USB in Live mode, to verify that it's not simply a software config issue with your current install?

(2017-07-18, 09:36)Ryangodammit Wrote: USB install is a great idea. How do I do that without affecting my current instal?
Analogue audio worked fine until I went to 17

just type 'live' and hit enter at the boot: prompt when booting the LE install media
