spiderfish · February 8, 2021 at 9:53 AM

Hi Guys,

I bought a TV and connect it with LE mini pc (

LibreELEC (official): 9.2.2 (Generic.x86_64))

and I didn't get the sound with these error in the log:

with Samsung TV is working but with Chinese TV not working and I changed with the audio source all options but no luck!

I have chromium and when play video on the browser there is audio!

Probably incomplete HDMI data coming from your Chinese TV. Create a custom EDID file.

spiderfish · February 10, 2021 at 1:02 PM

Da Flex Thanks will try it

spiderfish · February 10, 2021 at 2:18 PM

I followed for Intel option but didn't solve the problem!

**Da Flex** · February 10, 2021 at 2:49 PM Official Post

Update to the latest stable LE version.

spiderfish · February 11, 2021 at 5:40 AM

Thanks Man, I will try 9.2.6

spiderfish · February 13, 2021 at 10:23 AM

Unfortunately, even with the latest version didn't work! I tried getedid as well not working!

OK, thanks for testing. The next trick sounds weird, but I know it solved audio issues for some users. When playing a video stream and pressing "OK", the status bar appears. On the bottom right you'll see a gear wheel, which contains a setting for de-interlacing. On my RPi nightly build this setting is grayed out, but you maybe have it. Deactivate de-interlacing, if you can.

I am working on Generic version. and the kodi sound gui not working, but what is strange, is when play youtube video from chrome addon it's working!

**Da Flex** · February 13, 2021 at 4:50 PM Official Post

Maybe because YT is running on a lower resolution. Set your default LE resolution lower (video settings). This reduces HDMI data rate, and maybe creates enough free data rate for audio.

**Da Flex** · February 13, 2021 at 5:11 PM Official Post

If you "Chinese TV" has a higher resolution than your Samsung TV, then the HDMI cable could be the weak part. For a 4K TV you need an HDMI 2.0 or 2.1 cable to transfer higher data rates.

Ohh Nice Idea to test! thanks I will try it and get back to you!

spiderfish · February 14, 2021 at 12:15 PM

BTW I tried to reduce the resolution in the video source to 640 and 720 but still no sound, but I will buy a HDMI cable 2.0 or 2.1 to test and get back again

spiderfish · February 15, 2021 at 7:51 AM

I tested with another mini pc from foxconn is working!

Probably not the HDMI cable then.

Do you have pass-through enabled at the LE audio settings? If yes, disable it for the non-working mini PC.
