Although I have used KODI for a few years on Android devices, this is my first attempt to run KODI on the Raspberry 4B. I installed yesterday using LibreELEC version 9.1.501 with KODI 18.4 . Everything works well except for audio. I get no audio at all. I started with your default settings and then trying changing them to other settings and nothing seemed to work. I have verified that volume on the Raspberry and the television is on high. I also started up the motherboard using the Raspbian operating system and audio worked fine on a video over the internet. I have the Raspberry Pi connected to the TV with the official Raspberry Pi HDMI cable. Any suggestions for getting this resolved?

Can you check in System/Audio if you can change to PI HDMI or something ?
If it's greyed and only pulseaudio is possible with bluetooth, then you need to wait a fix from Libreelec team.

Are you using the hdmi port next to the raspberry pi's power jack ?

Make sure it's the HDMI port nearest the power connector.

I also have no audio on Raspberry Pi4 and I'm using the HDMI port closest to the USB C power port.
It shows a red cross speaker icon on the top right underneath the time.
I get audio to the tv when using Raspbian.
-
The red icon with a speaker and a cross indicates that sound is muted. To get sound again you need to press the mute button (F8 on keyboard) to toggle sound back on.

Turn the volume up and it will un-mute. Worst case, SSH into the devices and type "kodi-remote" for a simple keyboard remote.

I had a similar problem with getting HDMI sound via the TV. It had been working ok for years but with the latest update to v9.0.2 I had to turn the volume on the TV to maximum just to hear something. I found if I paused the video and moved over to the settings option on the right hand side of the screen I was able to select an Audio menu. From here I found the volume option was all the way to the left, so I moved it all the way to the right (0.0). Choose the option to make this the default for other videos and it has been working fine for me ever since.

I'm having this problem on a RPi 4B. Neither HDMI Port has any sound to HDMI (audio worked fine with HiFi Berry HAT to optical -- I took the hat off to connect to hdmi tv). I installed LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-9.2.6. I have no problem selecting audio to PI HDMI, there are no warnings or errors, volume is cranked on Kodi and the audio settings set to (0.0). Any ideas?
