No sound on hdmi and laptop speakers - philip2809 - 2023-12-07

Hey!

I have since my last post updated my setup, I now have a debain os on my laptop (instead of libreElec) and this is so that i can run a kvm with HAOS.
I can select any sound output there is not sound exepct there was some sound in a pair of aux headphones but now i cant replicate it. Kodi does not make any sound BUT I can ssh into the machine and run "speaker-test". Then it works.
Doing:
Code:
speaker-test -D hdmi:0,0 -c 2
works perfectly fine and sound is played on the TV but the kodi does not make any ui sounds what so ever. How can I fix this?
Debain 12, Kodi 20.2

Looking at the log it seams to me that:
Code:

is the right audio thing. The thing is tat the speaker test works perfectly with 48000Hz, which kodi says it has but the format S16_LE which is not listed here? Why is it not? Can I add it somehow?

anyone who knows anything about this?

RE: No sound on hdmi and laptop speakers - fritsch - 2023-12-11

You have a broken asound.conf in your system. Additionally you output in kodi through the "Analog" output not the "HDMI".
This: "HDA Intel PCH" is your HDMI port.

Any idea why you have such a messed up asound config in your system?

RE: No sound on hdmi and laptop speakers - philip2809 - 2023-12-12

I have no idea what would have messed it up, fresh install of Debain 12 without any window manager, installed lightdm and then running Home Assistant OS in a kvm. I was trying different things with pulseaudio and ALSA as well as this Kodi Bluetooth manager: https://github.com/wastis/BluetoothManager
Do you have any idea how to fix it? What is weird to me is that I can play sound on the tv through the commandline but not with kodi.
