[x86-64] No Audio After Upgrading to LE 12.0.2

Hi folks,

Feeling pretty silly here. I had LibreELEC working perfectly on my Intel NUC (nuc7i5bnb) but my SSD died. I didn't have a backup (my bad) so had to start from scratch. I'm not entirely sure what version I was running, but pretty sure it was 11 something. Anyway, I decided to go for latest (12.0.2) but have been unsuccessful getting my audio to work.

My NUC is connected via HDMI 1 to my sound bar, so pretty sure all I did to get this working previously was set the audio output to HDMI 1. But this time around, no dice.

I tried disabling Audio DSP in BIOS settings but it didn't help. Also tried updating the BIOS since it was quite old.

Can anyone please help me diagnose?

I don't see anything 'wrong' in the log, so first thing I'd do is update to the latest LE13 nightly image from https://test.libreelec.tv to see if the newer kernel/firmware used magically fixes the issue?

Thanks chewitt. I switched to nightly and it worked, although I had to choose HDA Intel PCH SII SII SPRT RPT on DisplayPort #0 for reasons I don't understand. Perhaps I also had that option chosen in my V11 install, but certainly in V12 I tried everything just in case and it wasn't working.

Ah, that makes sense.

> It may have worked on LE12 under the DP output too .. maybe?

I'm quite certain I checked every option, but I may have accidentally skipped one.
