Hello,
i just installed LE in an older AMD/Nvidia PC, and it works fantastic 
Would be even happier, if it was possible to have audio through the headphones jack too...
I mean, sure i can choose audio output > analog and hear my music via the headphones. Works OK. And then, i have to go through settings again, and switch back to HDMI to get audio in the TV for watching movies. Would be so much simpler if plugging-in the headphones jack, could be detected and auto-switch sound output, or, if easier to do, just have 2 sound outputs ON, all of the time: Same sound that plays in HDMI, also play in headphones.
I dont need anyhting fancy, just 2 channel stereo for both, same settings for both, i dont care about 5.1 or anything..
Any help is most welcomed 
Thanks!
Audio in 2 outputs: hdmi AND headphones. Possible?

Not possible, however you can use the audio profile switcher addon Add-on:Audio Profiles - Official Kodi Wiki
then you can setup a keymap on your remote so when you press a key it will switch audio profiles.

Audio profiles switcher works great - I use that on my revo 3610s to switch between tv and amp sound. Another option is a HDMI audio splitter. I use one (about £8 from ebay IIRC) to connect my pi to amp (via optical). That would give permanent dual output.

Many thanks guys for reply!
Audio profiles + pressing just a key in remote sounds good
I will try it and will let you know if a problem or something -

Maybe unsquashing filesystem and following this PulseAudio - Official Kodi Wiki? -
Ah! It looks like there is an official way afterall , to have dual audio in kodi
I already have done dual audio following the first solution, combining key map editor addon and audio profiles addon, works fine via remote, and i m sure other people reading this post in the future will try the other way too, let us know if working
Cheers alessandro ! Many thanks to all

Maybe unsquashing filesystem and following this PulseAudio - Official Kodi Wiki?you don't have have to unsquash to do this. You can do it at anytime, but then you are stuck using pulseaudio.

Sure? I would try on my box, but can't edit /etc/pulse/default.pa

See /storage/.config/pulse-daemon.conf.d/README
Also, options can be set in autostart.sh using pactl

You could try the dual-audio patched versions, someone kindly has made builds of LibreELEC made available here: Index of /LibreELEC-DualAudio/Generic.x86_64
I'm running such a build on one of my boxes. But I do get a slight audio delay, depending on the combination of codecs and inputs. YMMV. -
As I posted elsewhere, my solution to this problem, with 8.2.0 LibreELEC dual audio build:
Display MoreWorking 8.2.0 build (not mine, just happy with it):
Forum post at kodi.tv: [Project] Dual Audio Output support (Krypton/Jarvis/Isengard/Helix/Gotham/Frodo)
Direct Dropbox download: LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.2.0.tar?dl=1
The manual pulseaudio setup (from mraction's post #15) also kinda works for me, but this is easier
In case anyone wants a pulseaudio setup for Intel NUC 6CAYH:/storage/.config/autostart.sh:
Bash#!/bin/sh pactl load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0,0 pactl load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0,3 pactl load-module module-combine-sink sink_name=combined slaves=1,2Also not sure if needed, but it definitely won't hurt to make the file executable: chmod +x /storage/.config/autostart.sh

AFAIK LibreElec supports dual audio output (analog + hdmi) out of the box.

Not with alsa reconfiguration, and in Harry Potter terminology this is a 'dark art' that few people understand.
