Disable Bluetooth.

Bluetooth is broken on LE, so it maybe affects audio rooting in a bad way. Just deactivate it.

Got it. For such advanced routing I suggest to start with Raspberry Pi OS. You'll get much more software options and community support on that OS. If you made it work, come back, show the Rpi OS solution, and there is a chance to adapt it on LE.

I'm using CEC with a Panasonic Plasma TV. CEC is called Viera Link on this brand. No issues since many years.

Read this showcase: Click!

Also try to boot from an USB-2 port. Maybe it's an internal bus issue.

Tweak your programming skills and build your own driver then. It's unlikely to find someone, who does the job for you.

If it worked on RPi3, it could be a bug. Finding a solution is hard at the moment. If you write a bug report for LE 9.2.6, the answer is to switch to LE 10.0 Beta. On LE 10.0 Beta video settings move from config.txt to cmdline.txt with a different syntax. All info I have about the new video settings is here: Click! As you can see, there is no YCbCr setting. I think all you can do is waiting until it's implemented.

We have a showcase about audio on Chrome: Volume Control for Chrome Add-On

The developer, I was talking with, said, they currently switch from VC4 to HDMI codec (whatever this means). It's possible that PCM pass-through has a mapping issue due to that change.

There is no option for channel mapping on LE.

FLAC, AAC and Vorbis can't be played with pass-through, so the switch makes no difference here. As a workaround, you could use PCM and pass-through.

Generally your issue seems to be a bug. You can try LE 9.95.4. If the bug remains, write a bug report.

It's still beta testing.

Quote from AMoo-Miki

Da Flex, 2.0 with FL and FR is output correctly.

My point is different. 2.0 output channels doesn't mean you're just getting FL and FR. Instead all other channels are encoded at those two. If everything works right, more than 2.0 output channels are mapped correctly to the hardware, but I'm not sure about this. So please test this setup and report.

Thanks for testing. I have no clue about the update implementation. Anyway, I would try to rename the file for a test:

Final.Space.S03E11.1080p.WEBRip.x264-BAE.mkv

->

Final_Space_S03E11_1080p_WEBRip_x264_BAE.mkv

Do you have tried 2.0 output channels at the audio settings?

Does enable / disable audio pass-through make any difference?

Ah, now I get the idea, "demonstrate" was the keyword to me. If you make it, don't forget the German market.

To my knowledge, LE 10 Beta can play audio on HDMI-1 now. In theory it's possible to get A/V on HDMI-1, too.

With LE 10 Beta video settings have been moved from config.txt to cmdline.txt. I'm not familiar with the new syntax. Maybe there is a setting to switch video to HDMI-1.

In case you're thinking, OS and add-on's can be separated for a long time, you're wrong. As an example, current Widevine changes require OS changes to keep it working on ARM. All your byte-per-byte optimizations can be a waste of time then. Things change quick in nirvana world.

You are wasting your time by adding limitations to LE. Storage space is cheap these days.
