Hm, why would I need JACK if the thing works fine in ALSA?

The audio interface provides a ton of ins and out, without any standard, how to route them to a speaker system. I guess that's why the ALSA driver only provides an API for JACK. JACK is the expert for connection management.

"aplay" makes an assumption about connections, and that worked. Kodi wants to do it right, and asks the driver for input channels. The answer is NULL (see post #8), because JACK should answer instead.

My Behringer UMC22 has two ins, and two outs. In that case stereo routing is obvious, and that works for Kodi.

Current theory: The driver was loaded OK, but you need JACK to configure ins and outs of the audio interface.

Ardour has JACK, because it's made for musicians, LE doesn't. UMC1820 configuration for JACK: Click!

Sorry, we don't support JACK.

We support it, we just have other things to do sometimes.

Channels are "NULL" for both output options. I think the "aplay" creates two stereo channels, but Kodi tries to use the channels, provided by the audio interface.

"Device 2" has passthrough capabilities. Please try the passthrough option in LE's audio settings.

Tomorrow. But probably everything is exactly the same.

chewitt has just informed me that he found his C2 board. So the log is not necessary anymore.

With that extra C2 board I'm optimistic.

Quote from REXus

Nothing changed in sound playing - "crack" then no data when passthough enabled, stereo when disabled.

Your version has broken my GPIO script started from autostart.sh (power on speakers when TV is on etc.), so I've turned back to official one.

Can you please go back to chewitt build, activate debug logging, replicate the issue, and post a link to the log?

I'm curious whether the missing data formats are available on that build:

• AE_FMT_S24NE3
• AE_FMT_S32NE
• AE_FMT_S16BE
• AE_FMT_U8

Nah, you can't update from LE 9 to LE 10+, because it generates errors. You have to install LE 10+ from scratch instead.

Did you installed from scratch?

Behringer UMC22 (ASIO conform) works fine here (RPi3B+). Which driver do you use at your music production OS? I bet it's not ASIO.

I got feedback from a dev. It seems like the Samsung UE40H6470 has an issue. Read this:

Samsung TV not reacting on CEC command - Ubuntu Mate 16.04 Raspberry Pi 2 · Issue #366 · Pulse-Eight/libcec

Setup: Samsung TV UE40H6470 Raspberry Pi 2 Model B connected via HDMI cable Installed libcec by the instructions from here: So a work-around that worked for me…

github.com

Thanks! That's important info. I gave our devs a ping.

I think rosede means the frequency settings in the router menu. I also have such options.

You can wait another year, but I don't think it will fix the problem. I'm familiar with RPi issues, because I'm reading the forum all the time. To my knowledge, you're the only one with such an issue.

Any chance to try the RPi on another TV? Maybe your TV is defective (see post #8).

Thanks for testing a different HDMI cable!

It's also possible that the system is waiting for network connection, before CEC gets initialized.

If you don't need WiFi, disable it on LE's settings.

If you have specific Ethernet settings for LE on your router, check them.

This message appears several times, and indicates a bad CEC connection. Try a different HDMI cable.

^ Have you selected the right audio stream? .. it looks like the Portugese audio is stereo, and English is 5.1.

Use the gear icon on the playback bar to check it.

If you have a good cooling system, then tweaks are worth to try.
