I had audio issues that turned out to be a hardware bug, FYI. I upgraded to a NUC13 and it has been flawless

Did you set Samba user/password in LE-Settings Addon?
I had credentials there (probably because of default setup) but did not have require authentication enabled! Thank you, I was looking in Kodi Services menu, and not the LibreELEC Settings > Services menu..
This is the preferred solution vs. sparkplug's sugestion of Group Policy modifications for Win11 machines.
Perhaps LE should have 'Use Samba Password Authentication' as enabled by default now that Win11 is gaining?
Thank you!

Also experiencing this, I have even tried setting SMB Client minimum protocol version to SMBv3 and still not able to access the filesystem
I understand there is a legacy workaround available, but is there another way to connect without compromising on security? Thank you

Just wanted to follow up and confirm that I have no audio issues at all since upgrading to a NUC13. Just swapped over the boot drive and instantly able to play any of my files with no audio issues.
Now using an ASUS NUC 13 Pro NUC13ANHi3

We have been using the same syslinux bootloader for aeons (unless EFI booting, but that's similar) so the drive should be movable between devices. You might need to reset the audio config afterwards as device names might/will change, but that's probably all.
Thank you, swapping over worked without a hitch!
Good luck on whether the ASUS NUC will resolve your audio dropout issue. See my response on this thread. I've given up on the Intel platform for now and bought a Beelink with AMD. So far it's been rock solid and no dropouts.
Thanks,
Jeff
I can confirm that I have no more audio issues now that I moved on from my NUC11. Everything just works

Long story short: There is some sort of hardware audio bug with NUC11 devices and LibreELEC, which causes the audio driver to break until I reboot the machine. Very frustrated with it, and not able to solve it (check my post history..)
Currently using the Intel NUC11PAHi3, and I want to get a new NUC or similar with which I can simply move the SATA SSD and not have to set up everything again like a fresh install. Potentially like the ASUS RNUC13ANKI30000UI for instance
Is LibreELEC picky about booting on similar x86 hardware? Anything I need to know?
-
Thank you, I will
I also found this which is very similar to what I'm experiencing:
LSPCon - No HBR Audio - Same kernel, DP to HDMI adapter and HDMI hardware works with AMD (#10819) · Issues · drm / i915 / kernel · GitLabI am using Kernel 6.6.26 in Libreelec nightly build. Intel hardware is I3-8300 on Supermicro motherboard using Intel C246 Chipset. Working AMD platform is…gitlab.freedesktop.orgJust discovered LibreELEC 12.0.1 Linux x86 64-bit runs kernel version 6.6.46..
I'm thinking I'm SOL 😢

Apparently my NUC has an LS-PCON graphics adapter, could this be the issue?

Also update the Windows HDMI driver. Those drivers include firmware, which can affect LE audio.
So I have been searching this forum and did find other posts saying the same thing, but it does not appear there are any HDMI firmware updates or update tools for the NUC 11 platform. Unless they are bundled in one of these?
NUC 11 Performance Kit｜NUCs｜ASUS Global
But I'm lost on how to update the drivers using a Windows exe without running Windows..

When you have no audio or stereo instead of DTS-MA, try wiggling both ends of the hdmi cable when the file is playing. If that doesn't help, try another cable. This is just an idea since I had similar problem, and a new cable fixed it for me.
So I did try this with no improvement, and I don't think the cable is to blame since I can replicate my issue repeatedly with no physical interaction
I updated LibreELEC to v12.0.1 and also the BIOS which I found Asus released Version 0056 on 2024/08/20 - still no difference.
Really not sure what else to try at this point

I am wondering if my AVR is to blame
The video file I played in the attached log file of my original post I was actually able to hear audio yesterday, and I saw that my AVR was displaying DTS-MA while doing so. However today, I tried playing that very same file and it is not cooperating and my AVR is staying on Stereo not switching over to DTS-MA.
Is there test functionality I could use to command my AVR through Kodi to switch audio decoders? Maybe test files or something?

The Displayport selection is likely a non issue. Your NUC like uses a Displayport to HDMI 2.0 converter (AKA LSPCON) internally so Libreelec will see Displayport.
Any reason you are using bitstreaming? For your 3.1 speaker config providing Librelec outputs 3.1 OK there is no advantage to bitstreaming whatsoever, Libreelec/Kodi will decode to multichannel PCM with no quality loss at all. The main reason people use bitstreaming is to allow passthrough of DTS:X and Atmos data which Kodi cannot decode but if your setup is 3.1 that is irrelevant to you.
If you really want to fix bitstreaming it might be worth checking if an HDMI / LSPCON firmware update is available for your NUC. It is also worth trying one of the Libreelec nightly builds because they have a newer Linux Kernel which introduced a bitstreaming fix for LSPCONs which might fix DTS but wont fix the odd detection of DTS bitstreaming support without Dolby bitstreaming support.
Is bitstreaming the same as audio passthrough? If so, I found that unless I have audio passthrough enabled, I do not hear anything.
Is hardware firmware updates the same as UFEI/BIOS updates? I will check to see if my NUC is most up to date, thanks

Does you Denon display "DTS" or "DTS-MA" when playing those files?
Also, why do you have these 2 settings marked as False when your AVR is capable of playing them?
Dolby Digital Plus (E-AC3) capable receiver: False
TrueHD capable receiver: False
I do notice when DTS is displayed, I do not remember ever seeing DTS-MA ever. I'll check those boxes, I wasn't aware my AVR supported those!
-
Try setting output to HDMI not Display Port
That's the weird thing, the NUC does have a Mini DP port, but nothing is connected. And if I select any HDMI output, no audio
Why do you have these 2 settings marked as False?
Dolby Digital Plus (E-AC3) capable receiver: False
TrueHD capable receiver: False
I am not sure my Denon AVR supports those codecs

Current setup: Intel NUC 11 Pro NUC11PAHi3 running LibreELEC 12.0.0, connected via HDMI cable to Denon AVR-2112CI in 3.1 speaker configuration, video output to a ViewSonic projector
My issue is that when playing downloaded files from my NAS that are encoded with DTS or DTS-MA, the video plays but there is no audio. I have GUI Sounds enabled always, so when this happens, I notice immediately that I no longer have any audio at all. I have to reboot to get audio to work again.
No issues playing Dolby encoded files from what I can tell
Current Settings > System > Audio config that mostly works for me:
AUDIO DECODER
Audio Output Device
- ALSA: Default (HDA Intel PCH ALC256 Analog)
- ALSA: HDA Intel PCH, ALC256 Analog

- ALSA: HDA Intel PCH, HDMI #2

Dolby Digital (AC3) capable receiver: True
Dolby Digital Plus (E-AC3) capable receiver: False

I've tried default settings, but what I noticed is that unless I have Passthrough Audio set to True, I will not get any audio at all. At wit's end here!

Well what I discovered is what unless I have AC3 and E-AC3 selected, I don't hear anything when the source is either of those two codecs.
I don't understand Passthrough Audio.. why do we need to enable it at all?
