Do you use audio passthrough

  • Hello,

    I notice that in the audio configuration is audio passthrough option. I activate it. The only problem is that now the volume is not working with Kodi, it works with my TV remote.

    This is not a problem, I could map TV volumen with CEC in the remote.

    Is better to activate it? I want to know your experience with this.

    All my Libreelec devices send audio+video from HDMI to the TV, I have no dedicated audio amp.

    Kind regards.

  • If you are using passthrough then kodi is sending the bitstream so the device (tv or amp) can decode it. Therefor kodi has no control over the volume.

    Thanks Irusak,

    I try it and I can not change the volume of the TV with CEC, I try this:

    Code
    echo "mute 0" | cec-client -s

    And it doesn't wotk.

    It works well to power on/off the TV:

    Code
    echo "on 0" | cec-client -s
    echo "standby 0" | cec-client -s

    How could I control the TV volume?

    Kind regards.
