imx6 8.2.5 install and no HDMI audio option

1st Official Post

    Hi
    I've just tried using LibreELEC for the first time instead of openelec on my imx6 cubox-i 2 using LibreELEC-imx6.arm-8.2.5.img.gz

    The cubox us plugged into my TV via a HDMI cable and video works but there is no HDMI is audio option .

    I notice the following error in the dmesg log file

    Code
    [   12.468305] imx-hdmi-audio imx-hdmi-audio: HDMI Video is not ready!
[   12.468326] imx-hdmi-audio imx-hdmi-audio: ASoC: can't open platform imx-hdmi-audio: -22

    can anyone assist with getting HDMI audio working?

    Cheers

    If you run "systemctl restart kodi" does HDMI audio appear?

    If yes it's a simple timing issue where the audio drivers haven't loaded before Kodi starts so the alsa devices can't be auto-detected. Adding a "wait for network" delay via LE settings should fix that. It's badly named and will act as an arbitrary Kodi startup delay.
