Hello all,
I'm running the Intel/generic build of LibreELEC 12.2.1 on a MINIX Neo Z64-W10 mini PC. It's plugged into a Roku TV attached to a soundbar via ARC.
Unfortunately, I cannot get sound to work. I confirmed that another computer plugged into the same TV with the same cable can play sound.
Attached are the EDID data from the TV, which is the same across devices (not actually a text file), and my kodi.log file.
These log lines get repeated over and over again:
