RPI4 and Bose 900 soundbar

Hello,

I tried the nightly build of Libreelec 11 on my RPI4 by connecting :

RPI4 hdmi0 -> TV Philips

RPI4 hdmi1 -> Bose 900 soundbar

( because my TV can't send e-arc to the soundbar )

but in the audio configuration of Kodi, only hdmi0 appears.

Another thing is when i shutdown kodi and power off the RPI4, the RPI4 still runs until i unplugg the hdmi1 from the soundbar

Do you think there is a possibility for this configuration to work or do i have to use another solution like hdmi splitter on my hdmi0 (and which one do you advice in case of ) ?

Thanks you for your reading and your work.

Thanks for your answer, i will look for another solution

I read that Bose 900 has an optical audio in?

HiFi Berry DAC Digi hat boards area the perfect solution in this case.

Thanks but i am looking to get dolby atmos and it seems that optical audio doesn't.

You could have a look at the HDFury Acrana https://hdfury.com/product/4k-arcana-18gbps/ (or Vertex2 https://hdfury.com/product/4k-vertex2-18gbps/ if you need eARC from two instead of 1 HDMI inputs)

I don't own one of these myself but the HDFury products have excellent reputation. The price point isn't exactly low so depending on which TV you have swapping that out could be an alternative, too

so long,

Hi Hias,
