X86 Generic : N100(Chattreyy T8), no sound in Kodi over HDMI but with aplay....

Hi there,

i am trying to get this working since 2 days but have no luck.

Have testet the stable build and the nightly 13 build, no difference. At the moment i am on the lastest nightly build.

When i end kodi with "systemctl kodi stop" i can at least play the kodi .wav files with aplay in the console

aplay -Dplughw:0,3 /usr/share/kodi/addons/resource.uisounds.kodi/resources/notify.wav

when i add pcm.!default "plughw:0,3" to /storage/.config/asound.conf

i can also play it without the -D in the aplay command, just like it should.

But i cant get any sound out of kodi, even when i get a "new" device in kodi when i use the asound.conf file

Maybe anyone has an Idea what else i can do...

Here are some outputs, if you need more please tell me what you need.

Check if kodi is muted or having low volume:

Code

xmlstarlet sel -t -c /settings/audio ~/.kodi/userdata/guisettings.xml

Then I would start with TV settings of Audio quickstart guide

LibreELEC1:~ # xmlstarlet sel -t -c /settings/audio ~/.kodi/userdata/guisettings.xml
<audio>
<mute>false</mute>
<fvolumelevel>1.000000</fvolumelevel>
</audio>LibreELEC1:~ #

So that looks also good, i tried anything in the Kodi Settings but nothing works, it might be a linux/driver problem when i use kodi on windows 11 it works... but wants this
