Could be an HDMI cable issue. On 4K output devices, RPi4 fires a higher data rate, compared to RPi3. Some cables are unable to transmit such data rates, so the screen goes black. Always use an HDMI 2.0 or 2.1 cable with your RPi4.

The crash log doesn't provide enough info to understand the problem.
Please provide a full debug log.How to post a log (wiki)1. Enable debugging in Settings>System Settings>Logging2. Restart Kodi3. Replicate the problem4. Generate a log URL (do not post/upload logs to the forum)
use "Settings > LibreELEC > System > Paste system logs" or run "pastekodi" over SSH, then post the URL link -

Very bad. LSPCon chips are a source of trouble.

I picked up a behringer in used condition for a tenner, good cheap experiment with good sound quality as you rightly stated.
What would your recommendation be for a good sound quality multichannel 5.1 interface via usb.
LE has to have the right driver, and we don't have a whitelist. Users with such hardware should answer here.
Search for fitting Linux drivers. In most cases LE is up-to-date with drivers, provided by a regular Linux kernel.

OK. As you can see, I've been moved the thread to Amlogic sub-forum. In our Amlogic download section you'll find this: Click!

Whats the name of the board, and which software is your current installation?

Guru reply: Very likely an LSPCon issue, because "DisplayPort" appears in the log. No solution, sorry.
The user from the link used the same NUC, and it worked for him. So either they use different LSPCon chips on the same NUC, or the old firmware worked, and they screwed something up later.
I can give you a link for LE 9.2.2, just in case you want to test...

You can also try to copy busybox from Raspberry Pi OS to LE.

Has asus rog strix z490f gaming motherboard with supreme fx s1220a codec for audio, and hdmi 1.4b
But if you still think an external audio solution is better then i will go with that.
The codec is optimized for 3D audio to provide a good gaming experience. That's not what you want. Buy the above audio interface. It's a steal for that money.
Buy studio speakers. They are also called nearfield monitors, because they will sound good on short distance. Studio speakers are usually active (own amp), and have balanced input to reduce electronic noise. If you never had studio speakers, these bad boys will blow you away.
Here is a short list of good studio speakers:
- everything from KRK (market leader, they also have white speakers)
- JBL 3 Series (best value for the money, also used by professionals on YouTube)
- Mackie MR Series (which I have on my desktop)
PS: If you want to keep your existing consumer speakers (unbalanced input), follow the advice from petediscrete .

So you don't think getting a " higher quality " motherboard and codec is the way to go.
Correct. Processing speed is no problem, you can play HD audio with an RPi these days.
Internally a sound card or a USB audio interface (DAC) both offer codecs. LE will select the best one, and transforms from source to target. For stereo, the sampling rate is the most important spec of the codec. The above Behringer UMC22 offers 48kHz sampling rate, but you can go higher with a better audio interface.
Because audio interfaces for musicians have high sampling rates, low latency and best analog connectivity (balanced output), an audio interface with studio speakers (balanced input) is the best stereo setup you can buy.

Did you find any issues?
I don't have the hardware to test this. I've been written a message for our staff members, but no reply so far.
I renamed the thread, and put it into Bug Reports sub-forum to generate more attention.

It seems like BIOS AND Windows (!) graphics driver write some firmware, which will be used by LE: Click! So update both.
-
It means not to use that driver.
-
Probably an add-on issue, which has to be fixed by the developer. Ask at Kodi forums. That's where most add-on devs are.

HiassofT is the audio guru, and he is in holidays. If you want to do something, do a research about your hardware, and which Linux driver is needed for HDMI. To "blacklist" your current driver could be the right path.
-
Is there anything that works well with LE. I am concerned as some external dacs require specalist drivers, or an asio driver, as they are usually designed to work on a windows or mac pc, a driver that LE may not have and may hinder performance.
Standard ASIO works fine with LE. I've tested my Behringer UMC22 on RPi3B+. Connect your speakers balanced for best quality. If you also want to make music, consider to invest more to get an audio interface with bonus software (DAW, plugins etc.).

Which speaker setup do you want to connect (Stereo, Atmos etc.)?
