Snapclient does not work on RPi4 with LE 12.0.0

  • Hi,

    I'm digging back this thread as I'm encountering the same problem : Snapserver/Snapclient does not work on RPi4 with LE 10.0.1 via HDMI

    Setup: Libreelec 12.0.0 running on a RPI 4 and ONKYO AVR

    No problem to get the audio output from libreelec through the HDMI audio output : "ALSA-vc4-hdmi0 (vc4hdmi0), ONKYO on HDMI".

    Now, I'd like to run a snapclient on this machine. I install the Snapclient addon, set it up correctly (other clients are working just fine with this server), and it works as expected. So does the audio from kodi.

    :!:Now the problem: as soon as I restart my setup, the audio outputs is lost, I can only select either:

    • PULSE: Default, Bluetooth Audio (PULSEAUDIO)
    • PULSE: Null Output, Null Output (PULSEAUDIO)

    And neither are working.

    Now disabling the Snapcast addon et restarting makes libreelec working again, the audio output are correctly shown.

    Snapcast is the main suspect here. Any idea on what might be the root cause of this ?:/

    Thanks,
