After some more help and this time from jernej . Thank you.

I have now a script to fix the audio problem for any LE11/12 without extra binary. The same script works on LE11 or 12.
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sky42src/LibreELEC.tv/11.80.5-240204/projects/Generic/filesystem/usr/bin/intel-gpu-max-10-bit.sh && chmod +x intel-gpu-max-10-bit.sh && ./intel-gpu-max-10-bit.sh

I opened a pull request to make the helper script part of official LE.

Generic: added intel-gpu-max-10-bit.sh helper by sky42src · Pull Request #8588 · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv

This uses modetest to set max 10 bit to solve…

added Zotac CI343

MiniX Z100 wakeup from S5 by USB is fixed. I did get a new BIOS (compiled today) after asking 2 days ago in the evening with 1st response yesterday.

openden the issue
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/issues/10199

Put in the kernel command line ipv6.disable=1
for a Pi that goes into /flash/cmdline.txt

Opened a issue with MiniX support for the S5 USB wakeup problem.

MatteN thx Coil whine sound better

other boxes details worth to know

HUNSN BM34
- USB port only on the front
- pre assembled DDR4 not 3200 only 2666 (the box i tested)
- pre assembled SSD M2 SATA (the box i tested)

Zotac CI337
- DDR5 4800

Zotac CI343
- DDR5 4800

KingnovyPC
- no WiFi or BT

MiniX Z100-0db details

note worthy:
- very tiny full aluminium body and they say it will not throttle ever (not yet tested that, but i will)
- 2x nice external WiFi/BT antennas

- working wakeup from S5 by USB/WoL
- working wakeup from S3 with USB/WoL
- less then 0.18 Wh per day used 4-8h, no sleep or poweroff
- HDMI / USB ports are upside down

LE11 dmesg, lspci, lsusb, kodi.log

LE12 dmesg, lspci, lsusb, kodi.log

For now that will be my daily driver.

ASUS PN42 details

note worthy:
- with Consumer Infrared RC6: works out of the box with LE and a WMC/MCE remote
- with HDMI-CEC but ONLY Power Control no using TV remote for Kodi
- working wakeup from S5 with IR remote (reacts on MCE power toggle and power on)
- working wakeup from S5 by USB
- working wakeup from S5 by WoL
- wakeup from S3 works too for USB/WoL

Sadly my exemplar makes coil whine voltage whistles (hope that is the right word for Spannungspfeifen). I have very good hearing and that is annoying me.

I want to share my tests about Intel N100 as a replacement for my Streacom FC8 Evo i3-8100

tested by me
- ASUS PN42-BBN100MV https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0C53D43JF
- MiniX NEO Z100-0dB (512GB) https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0CPLQWN73

other boxes i did not test, but know of
- Zotac CI337 https://www.zotac.com/us/product/min…7-nano-barebone
- Zotac CI343 https://www.zotac.com/us/product/min…-ci343-barebone

The PN42 is a very nice box and i used it for about 2 month now. The Z100 i did get 2 days ago and it is very nice too.
Details i will write down later.

I am preparing to write all down that i learned in making working perfectly for my needs.
It was very interesting chasing down this problem Intel Alder Lake 2160p @ 23.976 Hz passthrough HD Audio dropouts (i7-1270p/N100) and i am not yet finished (need to open a bug @ Intel), but have found a workaround.

New workaround script for official LE 11 and 12, written and tested on official LE 11.0.6.

SSH to your box an run
curl https://sky42.libreelec.tv/testing/proptest/install.sh | bash /dev/stdin

now you can run
/storage/.config/activate-adl-10-bit-fix.sh

or be sure it is in
/storage/.config/autostart.sh
and reboot


Use the solution from post #46.

11.0.6 was just taged. If that tag does not change my 240124 is a 11.0.6.

I will still build a clean 11.0.6 and delete then 240124 and 240116 to safe some space on my image server.

No idea at all. No uhd tv channels to try.

I am pretty sure now the workaround does work (at least for me) and fixes the issue. For the testing i started 2024 with the MCU in chronological order after finishing Fast and Furious all movies.
Next will be creating a issue at Intel drm/i915. I already had a look on issues there and how they look like and 1st i need to create account there. Hopefully i do that to the end of next week.

I am willing to maintain the patched versions until it is fixed in official LE. That is "only" one extra device with 90min compile time for every release i do.

Release version 11.0.5-240124

download link sky42 LibreELEC community builds

based on https://libreelec.tv/2024/01/14/libreelec-nexus-11-0-5/

240124
- upstream update
- just rebuild with new kernel 6.1.74

my source diff
https://github.com/LibreELEC/Libr…v:11.0.5-240124

rooty I am using normally RHEL or clones for more then 20 years, so i orientate on the hundreds of servers i use at work with LVM, mdraid, encryption, NBDE, tang, clevis .... My starting point is the rpm spec file and what is in there, then reading configure output what can i use, what is default etc and what do i need for the functionality i wish.
For lvmetad IIRC it was a compiling issue (without it builds), but i can not really recall. LVM is only in there because cryptsetup wont do without and as i had it already in there i made LVM usable with a small set of features. Thin and Cache as example need extra tools (at least one more package).

Here RPi4, RPi5 and Intel N100 with the bars running 11.0.5-#240124 with kernel 6.1.74
connected -> Denon X6700H -> LG OLED55E6D screen resolution 2160p @ 60 Hz

I can not tell a difference between the 3 devices, but i am not totally clear what i should see or to be more precise what is good and what is bad. I can clearly see the difference between red and magenta.

booster
verified the cifs fix on Generic and RPi4 the nightly-20240117-fe8988f fixes the problem

https://test.libreelec.tv/11.0/RPi/RPi4/…-fe8988f.img.gz
https://test.libreelec.tv/11.0/Generic/G…-ed7127b.img.gz

that goes for all other devices too, but i did not test it with more devices.
