Rpi4 Libreelec 10.0.1 no sound through Pi's audio jack or Bluetooth

Raspberry Pi 4 arm: LibreELEC 10.0.1 KODI

My HDMI monitor doe not have speakers connected.

I have a portable speaker plugged into the Raspberry Pi's stereo jack; but no sound.

I also tried connecting a Blue Tooth Headset that does show up as connected in Libreelec, but no sound.

Kodi plays everything over the local LAN when connecting with a web browser.

My Smart TV connects and plays content OK.

I just can't get any sound from the Pi audio port, nor from blue tooth headphones.

I had these two things working once but it all eludes me now.

I'm lost and need Help!

Also, if there is a setting needed in a config file I don't know how to get to a Terminal window for editing config files

Thank you.

To enable the audio jack on RPi 4B in LibreELEC 10.x you need to:

- add this line to config.txt: dtparam=audio=on

- reboot LibreELEC

- in Kodi GUI set the Audio output device in Settings - System - Audio menu to ALSA:bcm2835 Headphones, bcm2835 Headphones

You should see the connected BlueTooth Headset there as well so it should work if you set it as Audio output device.

Thank you!

Adding that line did make available and the external speaker does connect...

the Plus (+) and Minus (-) sign controls the volume.

All is working.

Very Happy!

Thank you
