[solved] Audio output device greyed out / no sound hdmi

  • Hi

    Since I have a new Samsung TV UE55MU7000 with the one connect box I have the problem, that I can’t choose an audio output in kodi 17.6 stable and so don‘t have sound. With my older Samsung TV everything was ok. My older TV recognized Kodi; the new one not really. That means CEC works but the TV wants that I choose what kind of device is connected (xbox, ps4 etc).

    Further I have the problem, that if I choose 4k resolution, picture is destroyed...picture looks like it shows multiple times.

    Thanks for help

    Edit: Resolution is now ok. I had to set the TV settings from hdmi1 to 4k

  • I tried a lot of things...install kodi with ubuntu 16.04, 17.10, 18.04, openelec and of course libreelec. Nothing worked. Than I decided to install libreelec with „normal“ monitor connected during install in place of TV. And behold...everything works like a charm :) So I think my problem is now solved.
