No HDMI Audio Output Option RPi4

    Hi All,

    after a fresh install, I have no Option to choose HDMI as Audio Output. I'm working on an RPI4b with LibreELEC 11.0.1. With LE 9.2 everything was working fine (same setup). First I had even no Video Output, but after adding "video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080M@60" to the cmdline.txt, the Video was there. I`'ve tried also a couple of different options in config.txt, but with no positive effect. I've tried also different SD-Cards, Power-Supplies and Imager (LibreELEC-Creator and Etcher)

    aplay -l lists me two HDMI - Cards, but these information is not finding its way to KODI.

    Is there someone facing the same issue? Are there any possible actions to get back the audio? Thanks a lot for your help!

    Hi,

    Not going to be much help here as I have the same issue but with a CM4 on a CM4-POE-UPS-Base board. I used Pinn-Lite to install RaspiOS and LibreElec as dual boot.

    With a Sony HDTV connected to HDMI0 I get audio when booted to RaspiOS but no audio and no HDMI select option in Settings/System/Audio/audio output. I only have Bluetooth default option listed.

    I assume there is a config setting in LibreELEC that is not set correctly to see the HDMI port.

    Based on (limited) information provided I'm guessing your display or HDMI cable is faulty and isn't providing an EDID.

    older tv without 1080p

    I have an older TV that does not support 1080p. I can't seem to get any picture on it. Initially I tried connecting my already built libreelec box on a RPi 3, but the TV displayed an error message. I then tried doing a fresh libreelec install v11 (maybe I should try v10?). Same result. I see the initial rainbow splash screen, but then the screen goes black and the TV eventually displays an error message that it can not display the picture.

    I tried forcing 720p using config.txt and…

    Thanks, it was the cable! First I don't want to belive that, related to the fact that Raspberry Pi OS was working (and the old version of Libreelec, i guess 9). But with a new cable I now have a Signal. Thank you
