Hi
I've connected my Raspberry Pi 5 with my TV using the HDMI-0 (first HDMI) port. This works fine, I can listen to music and see videos - all on my TV. But I also have an AVR receiver and now I'm trying to set everything up to get the following:
- I want to watch the news on my TV without turning on my AVR. I like my TV audio sound for news and documentaries.
- I want to be able to listen to audio files (e.g. mp3) on my AVR without the TV on.
- I want to enjoy my AVR's audio output when watching movies or playing games.
I thought, it's easy to setup:
- First HDMI is always active. (I can watch the news without turning on the AVR.)
- Second HDMI is always active. (I can listen to music without turning on the TV.)
But although it sounds super easy, I haven't been able to set it up. There's an alternative option hidden in scenario 3: because watching movies implies the TV on, I could connect my AVR with another cable through the TV optical out. Maybe this reveals any pulseaudio dual/mirror audio options?
Or is that all a bad idea?
Kind regards
Steffen
