perhaps ill try and reinstall in the mean time

Use the latest nightly build. Maybe you're lucky, and it's already fixed there: https://test.libreelec.tv/11.0/Generic/Generic/

The log looks good to me. You can upload more logs without problems, but there is currently no need.

Maybe the wrong Linux driver was loaded:

Sep 09 22:05:46.708885 LibreELEC kernel: ACPI: Added _OSI(Linux-Lenovo-NV-HDMI-Audio)

Eventually other users have "blacklisted" that driver to load the right one. I'm no kernel expert, I don't know.

Our audio guru just went into holidays. It could take a while to answer this.

There are streaming interruptions:

If your Ethernet is fine, then it could be a slow HDMI cable. So check whether it's conform to HDMI 2.0 or 2.1.

Thx. I see network errors. Copy a critical video to USB stick, and play from there.

Can you try with DRM Prime decoder disabled? I'm asking, because we have a similar issue for video here: Click!

I see. So you play 1080p with HD audio?

You can also play around with the amount of audio output channels in LE's settings. Sometimes 2 channels are required.

If this doesn't work, we should dig deeper with a log file.

Ive noticed that when the audio doesnt play, the refresh rate change happens a few seconds after the video starts. It should do this right at the beginning. Not sure if this gives any clues.

This could indicate a bottle neck in data transmission. A slow cable is often the issue. So check the HDMI standard of your cable. It should be conform to HDMI 2.0 or 2.1 to handle video AND high speed audio.

The smallest increments of adjustment is 10, it doesn't go any lower than that. I have it set to 10 but it is still too much.

You'll set the sum of volume steps, so increase that value.

You can try, but I don't think so. Better check whether reboot is running.

In your first post you mentioned an x86 installation of LE, and a non-working sound card. Is this the setup we talk about?

1. I don't know any EQ / DSP software for LE. DSP action is usually done by external hardware (AVR or dedicated DSP processor).

2. Frequency splitting is usually done by the subwoofer (serial connection), or by the AVR (parallel connection). Not by LE.

3. Volume control steps

Forget about software DSP. Use a HiFiBerry DAC with DSP processor. Something like this.

Next little challenge is getting passthrough to work, but this would only be kind of nice to have.

• Check the HDMI cable. It should be conform to HDMI 2.0 or 2.1 to transmit 4K AND HD audio.
• Play around with the amount of output channels. Normally 2 output channels will do, and other channels are mixed into them.

Many audio cards are supported, but maybe not yours. I think we have to see a log...

running LibreELEC 9.2.1

Please install the latest LE from scratch (currently 10.0.2, don't try to update from 9.2.x). We don't support outdated versions.

that is, there are no differences in hardware?

Please google that.
