Yes, you can use terminal commands with CRON.

Please test with the latest nightly.

Try a different HDMI cable. It has to have HDMI 2.0 or 2.1 standard to be able to handle 4K data rate.

Search for other picture optimization modes (beside overscan), and switch them off. It's a common issue on many TV's /monitors.

LE has no volume control for single channels, like the center speaker, where voices usually come from. So you have to find other ways (AVR or TV settings) to increase center speaker volume.

Sorry, no official recommendation. We don't have a white list for good reasons (terrible manufacturer support).

Thanks for testing. If CEC is activated on your TV, then it could be a bug. See here.

Please test the latest LE 11.0 nightly.

They only work with a "PCM" Stereo Signal (Highest level is 24 bit / 192 kHz)

(You can read about that in the Manual)

They can't handle things like Dolby Digital, Dolby True HD DTS or Atmos.

So in the Kodi "Audio Settings" you have to disable "Passthrough" and set "Number of Channels" to "2"

Thanks for the info. That's the same sampling rate like the HiFiBerry Digi+. It means, lnix doesn't have to switch among HDMI and TOSLink, because HDMI transmission has no benefit for the speakers. He wants to hear music with TV switched off, so I think the HiFiBerry isn't a bad idea.

HDMI CEC is activated by default, and works without further LE settings. On the TV side CEC activation is eventually needed (search for Anynet+ at your TV settings).

Does anyone know of a power supply that is rated more than 3amps?

Better use an USB hub with external power supply.

Then I would chose the HiFiBerry solution. So you can switch RPi audio output (HDMI or HiFiBerry TOSLink) by using a Kodi app on your smartphone / tablet. HDMI for video, and HiFiBerry TOSLink for audio.

If RPi -> TV -> Soundbar cabling is impossible, think about getting an HDMI audio extractor or a HiFiBerry Digi+. Both can be connected to you soundbar via TOSLink. If you chose HiFiBerry, then you eventually need a new RPi case, too.

There is no HDMI-1 device at the log, too. I can't find a Nubert A250 online. Does it only have one HDMI-ARC port?

PS: Does modetest list your soundbar?

You can't do HDMI settings at config.txt since LE 10. I don't think those settings could fix the issue, anyway.

Something is fishy with your soundbar. Maybe a driver issue.

The common RPi 4 setup is HDMI-0 for video, and HDMI-1 for audio. So maybe just switching the ports will do.

You don't need these scripts anymore. Just use this ("Power Button Scripting Part" section).
