[Libreelec 9.95.2 / Raspberry Pi 4 / Kodi 19 Matrix] HDMI and analog simultaneous sound?

paul_damian · May 13, 2021 at 10:22 PM

Switched from Libreelec / Kodi 18.9 Leia to the current setup.

First problem was that I had no option for sound on the analog 3,5mm jack. Solved by adding "dtparam=audio=on" to config.txt. After that, in "Audio output device", beside the four ALSA vc4-hdmi devices I found also ALSA: bcm2835 Headphones. Which works. Sound comes either on the TV trough HDMI, or on the attached audio amplifier trough the analog output (yes, I know, poor man's setup).

Now the question where I need help: how can I set up sound to come on both analog and HDMI simultaneous? Leia had this option and worked just fine, and that's what would fit me.

Thank you, and keep up the good work

Unfortunately it's not possible here due to different drivers used in latest LE version.

Well, that means for me back to Leia, because it's a feature that really suits me.

Could it be possible for this feature to be implemented in the future?

Anything is possible, but there are no promises. Kodi 19 is the current version.

Either use a spdif line from the TV to the amp, or you can setup pulseaudio to do a combined sink with both hdmi and analog (but lose passthrough abilities).
