HDMI video settings have been moved to cmdline.txt since LE 10.0 Beta.

HDMI settings have been moved to cmdline.txt since LE 10.0+, using a new syntax.

You probably came to the same conclusion, so this is just for the records:
- Post your request at the RPiOS forum. Your chances of getting useful feedback are much better there.
- Make RPiOS your primary testing platform. It's easier to download tools, or compile software like Kodi on RPiOS.
- If you found the solution, come back, report, and there is a chance to adapt it on LE.

victorbiederbeck Thanks for pointing me to the dead link. I updated it. We went to a new Wiki, which broke something.
PS: Also urban slang: flex = turntable
PPS: In case you're using LE 10.0+, HDMI settings have been moved to cmdline.txt.

Thanks! Looks like an LE bug. I'll talk about it with a dev.

To my knowledge, ARD and ZDF use different sources for playing on smartphone and desktop. So the out-of-sync add-on may uses the smartphone source. Check whether your downloaded out-of-sync file works on your desktop PC. If it's also out-of-sync there, blame on the content provider (ZDF).

Does anybody work on this feature or is it planned from kodi side?
Get the Kodi side at the Kodi forum. We are just second layer.
Why don't you run Raspberry Pi OS, auto-start Kodi on it, and you're done?

Sorry but this is not true. Optical is capped at 44.1khz when doing 5.1
It is capped at double that when doing 2 channel, possibly 96khz
Some recording interfaces use 2 optical cables to achieve a higher bitrate.
Hdmi 1.4 caps at 192khz with 7.2 channels, hdmi 2.0+ can do alot more channels at 192khz
You're right HDMI can be faster than TOSLINK. Your thin client wasn't made to do multimedia hocus-pocus, so I'm skeptical that you get higher bitrate on your DVI output, which wasn't designed to play audio at all.
Please open a new thread for "Castanigit" (?) at the add-on sub-forum.

Should I submit a bug report?
Not on this forum. Use the Kodi or KodiNerds forum. That's where the add-on developers are.

The light speed of TOSLINK is fast enough for any bitrate, so the problem is your sound / graphics card. I'm sure bitrate will be the same on HDMI and TOSLINK. Not sure where an USB audio interface grabs the audio data from, but that's probably the only way to increase bitrate.

Well done, that's a pretty cool media player now!

PS: You can check RAM usage by activating the debug logging HUD. 16GB is probably overkill on LE.

Try "ARD und ZDF" from the KodiNerds repo.

Make sure you have set the output channels to 2.0 on LE's audio settings. Other channels will be encoded into those two.
-
DVI standard doesn't support audio officially. Some graphics cards support non-standard audio-over-DVI. Search for audio settings at your BIOS / EFI. It's basically no LE problem.
Chances are you won't find such audio settings. I suggest an USB audio interface. Those ASIO interfaces for musicians work fine. The ASIO driver is part of LE's Linux kernel. Other drivers need some research whether they work with Linux.

The last thing I would try on config.txt (post #6, #8 and #12) is to add hdmi_force_mode=1.
If that doesn't work, quit the config.txt approach, and put the working tvservice line (post #7) into /storage/.config/autostart.sh.
You can also test LE 10.0 Beta official or nightly, but I'm not familiar with the HDMI mode syntax of cmdline.txt.
