LibreELEC Generic Legacy v11.0.1 x86 - No audio

I have found the alsamixer addon via LE repo: Program Add-ons > Multimedia Tools.

Now what? I can't get it to run. It says it is for the console?

SSH into the box and run "alsamixer" .. it's a console app not a GUI app.

LibreELEC Generic Legacy v11.0.3 x86, still no audio

I noticed the exact same issue after upgrading to LE11 generic_legacy., my sound stopped working via HDMI.
As a workaround I have plugged an audio cable to an analog IN on my receiver from the headphone output on my HTPC, but it's not exactly an elegant solution.

Did any of the people that had the same issue find a solution in the end?

StarLite Update to LE 11.0.6. If the issue remains, post a log (see post #23).

I am also having this problem. I have an Asrock Ion 330 with Nvidia Ion. It worked fine in LE 10. Upgrading to 11 broke it. No more audio. Downgrading to LE 10 doesn't seem possible as the install 'type' is incompatible (Generic vs Generic.Legacy). I tried to upgrade to LE 12 beta 2, but it still doesn' fix it. I also tried the alsamixer utility, but no luck.

As a test, I just ran LE 10 from a Live USB. It worked perfectly again. I will probably run LE 10 from USB until I can find a solution to the problem in versions 11 and/or 12.

dhomas Have you tried a clean install vs. upgrade? (or stop Kodi and rename /storage/.kodi to sidestep all current config). I ran a boot test on LE12 to look at alleged audio issues with an ageing Xtreamer Ultra2 (ION) board a couple of weeks ago (first boot in nearly a decade) and audio was working for me.

Good call. I'll try a Live USB running LE12, instead of my upgraded instance and report back.

I ran LE 12 beta 2 from USB to test a fresh instance, and the audio still does not work.

Here is the debug logging:

Please run "lsmod | sort | paste" and share the URL, thanks.

And thanks for helping out on my admittedly ancient hardware. It's my only device that has a Blu Ray player, so I like to keep it around.

The previous paste doesn't look quite right.

I ran the command again and got a different, more appropriate looking result:

Honestly.. no clue. I'd suggest reporting the problem to Linux audio developers via the alsa-devel mailing list. Feel free to CC me (chewitt@ le domain) if you do, then I'll see any replies. Tell them the kernel version you're using (distro is nice to know, but don't labour the point) and the hardware, and ask for guideance on how to provide debugging info.
