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).

I didn't realized the relation to piracy on the first post. So the quesion can't be answered without promoting piracy. Closed.

It's a TV guide for a banned add-on. Because we don't want to promote anything related to piracy, also uninstall that TV guide.

PM sent.

Dimension Repos are OK now, but you still have banned add-ons installed. I give you a last chance to clean your installation. You are very close to get kicked out of this forum, because you are breaking our forum rules.

Thanks for the info. My next theory is that it's related to a new Linux driver. I don't have the skills to compare all involved drivers.

As a workaround, I suggest to install a regular Linux (like Ubuntu), and autostart Kodi.

Many years ago I had a main board with 4 RAM slots. I've been used RAM slot 1 and 3, slot 2 empty. That was a problem for the BIOS, and I had RAM access errors. So make sure you are using RAM slot 1 and 2, no omissions. Background: LE 10 is probably larger than 9.2.6, so the installation buffer might switch to the second RAM slot.

what would be a recommended SoC or Android box to fully support LibreElec?

Have a look at our Amlogic sub-forum. dtech makes some nice builds there. RPi 4 currently has best software support for LE.

Oh yeah, that ARC vs. eARC thing is the kicker. Use both RPi HDMI ports then.

PS: Getting audio on HDMI-1 is a pretty new feature: Click!

If i plug the pi into the receiver, I get 7.1 sound but no 4k. If I plug it into the TV, I get 4k but no 7.1.

It proofs that LE provides A/V fine. You can try 7.1 output channels on LE's audio settings. Maybe your TV does proper pass-through with that. Another approach is to use both HDMI ports of the RPi 4: HDMI-0 for video, HDMI-1 for audio.
