Not at the moment but how is it going to be related to spdif? I do not need HDMI audio at all.

Sorry, I forgot that HiFiBerry has to be selected as LE's audio output device. Selecting PI: HDMI and Analogue or PI: Analogue will deactivate this DAC, but should activate the analogue jack of the RPi.

I assume you have been followed the official instructions. If this doesn't solve the problem, ask the HiFiBerry support. They are pretty firm.

If it turns out that it's impossible to have both outputs at the same time, then maybe an RC button switch is an option for you.

Do you have "HDMI and Analogue" activated at the LE audio settings?

Maybe defining a remote control key for quick access of video settings is the easiest solution.

PS: Switching to a different profile by using an RC button could be a solution, too.

Not a good idea to build an audiophile LE version for RPi's. Not just what chewitt mentioned is a problem.

Two more problems:

People often want HD audio on RPi's HDMI, but it looks like this hardware (or software implementation of audio pass-through) is too slow for native (non-PCM pass-through) HD audio (and other high speed) formats.

When trying to do the same thing with an USB DAC, then you need a real-time Linux kernel to deliver high speed audio data in time to USB. That's probably what the LE mod guys did, but it slows other tasks down.

Playing the same file several times in a row will get a different front speaker to get the center channel...

That's kind of a proof of my theory for HD audio and other formats with high data rate.

HD audio can work on LE (with better Intel NUC hardware), as proofed here: click.

Please attach your dongle and provide a link to a log file.

Missing HD audio is a known issue on RPi's. Having partially audio is a sign of an overload at the RPi data bus to me. So this issue might never be fixed due to hardware limitations.

Some TV's have S/PDIF or TOSLINK audio output. If you go RPi -> TV -> Amp, then you could have 4K, if supported by your TV.

Hi all, would this work on the ASUS Tinkerboard too?

Take care about the GPIO compatibility and give it a shot. Chances are good.

I updated the boot firmware and not the LE!

That's what I mean, too. LE updates include boot firmware updates, whenever necessary.

You can verify script execution by creating a file. Do an internet research to learn how to do so.

I can only continue to help you, if you answer my questions. Investing energy to get the latest boot firmware, but ignoring LE updates is a mismatch to me. LE updates are more important to get stability and best performance.

If you did a typo like at chmod +x, you should inform us about it's correction. Other users will benefit while reading the thread.

You did a typo, it's chmod +x, not chmod + x.

LE does the firmware update. If you do it yourself, then stuff like a change of the config.txt syntax can happen. So I don't suggest this.

Is there any cause why you don't update to the latest LE version?

I had the opposite case: streaming stopped / crashed when an add-on update started, which is necessary for that stream. I think this is a rare case, which hasn't it's own solution on LE yet.

Please name your display device.

Is the command in the config.txt file correct?

dtoverlay=gpio-shutdown is all you need to use GPIO 03.

Hello friends ! for two days i am trying to put the power button on my rpi 4b + libreelec 9.02 following this tutorial but it is not working! I need help, I did everything as described so I could not put the files as executable because the command described generates an error !! what do I need to do? when I press the push button nothing happens!

Please show the command you try and the error message you get.

HiassofT is right, I'm sure the user mistakenly hit the like button twice, because the thumb is always up on the button icon. A small thing to fix at the forum software.

Thanks for the infos Klojum and HiassofT .

If a "like" has been removed, then it's a bad sign to me, and I'm interested to know the cause. I didn't know it can be removed.

Collecting a max. amount of "likes" is not my goal. However, getting positive feedback definitely is a goal, and a sign of successful support.

PS: I did the experiment, and hit the "like" button twice, which removes the "like". Maybe the user did that to like me even more.

The "like" button is partualy misleading, because the thumb is still up after hitting the button for the first time. Actually it should be a "thumb down" button when it results in removing the "like".

I'm still trying to understand this forum. Yesterday I received a "like" from a user, who was thankful for my help. He gave me a "like" for this post: click.

Today I was watching the thread again, but the "like" disappeared. Why?
