Polczak Can you test this update if it fixes your HDMI audio issue? You have OrangePi PC+, right?

libreelec-h3.arm-9.1-devel-20190605180056-cdc4ec0-orangepi_pc_plus.tar

It contains this fix, which might solve issue you have: drm/rockchip: hdmi: fix no sound some time · Kwiboo/[email protected] · GitHub

For some reason I was not able to restore backup from this file: libreelec-h3.arm-9.1-devel-20190605180056-cdc4ec0-orangepi_pc_plus.tar

Then I write newest image: LibreELEC-H3.arm-9.1-nightly-20190605-c7f2098-orangepi_pc_plus.img.gz then I tried to restore backup and Kodi is running now only in Safe mode (red screen), can't run normally.

No changes to audio.

After restore backup Kodi version still shows: nightly-20190605-c7f2098.

Regarding audio decoding side: maybe this is only my personal feeling, but I think that audio decoded by Amplifier has better quality. If OrangePI will decode sound Amplifier have to somehow decode it again to meet Amplifier settings.

This is just my opinion, no technical background or testing.

I also test different video resolutions and looks like only 1080p is affected with no HDMI sound.

I also have to set Fixed audio output 5.1 for all resolutions.

Passtrough seems to work random.

Hello.

As an addition to my issue with Audio not working on HDMI OPPC+: As I read all posts on this forum I notice solution to change resolution 1080p to 1080i.

Strange! But when I changed from 1080p to 1080i audio start working on HDMI and looks like HDMI Pass Trough is working also.

I just did more tests for HDMI audio with my OP PC Plus.

When connected to Amplifier Pioneer VSX-521:

• No sound for audio when passtrough on

• No sound for audio when passtrough off

When connected to Samsung TV:

• "White noise" for audio when passtrough on

• Good audio (No multichannel) when passtrough off

In both cases OP PC Plus can se name of the device in audio settings.

Question to Libreelec developers: does RaspberryPI 3b+ have any issue with Libreelec? Or everything works fine?

I am thinking to switch to RP3b+ but I am affraid that I will end up with same or different issues.

In contrast I found on this website #linux-sunxi — irc logs at whitequark.org that there is a chance to have basic HDMI support (probably only 2 channels) which would be fine for now. Polczak also mentioned in his post before that he has basic HDMI audio on his Orange Pi PC Plus board which is equipped with an H3 SoC (ARM Cortex-A7)

So maybe a developer can give us an update on the current status.

Just an addition to that - I do not have same issue on an old Libreelec 7.0 image.

Hi all,

I've tested the "LibreELEC-A64.arm-9.1-devel-20190324123655-b764cb6-pine64.img.gz" and "LibreELEC-A64.arm-9.1-nightly-20190501-6f2af43-pine64.img.gz" image with a Pine64+ 2GB board, but so far it's not possible to get any sound over HDMI.

The audio device is set to "ALSA:allwinner-hdmi, SAM SAMSUNG on HDMI" and passthrough is disabled. The HDMI cable is fine, as it works with another device. I've changed several other audio settings but without success.

Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem?

Hello. Same on my side with Orange Pi PC Plus.

Only GUI sounds and from Youtube addon.

No sound from files with multi channel sound - different options tested, different audio sources.

Hello.

Buckaboobob

I download image from this location Index of / and LAN (wired connection) works fine for me.

@zvir

Could you please test if files with DD or DTS sound are working fine for you?

I was not able to get sound from HDMI connected to Amplifier for files with >2.0 channels.

Youtube addon and GUI sounds works fine.

First make sure that correct audio output is selected. You should see the name of your AVR/TV/monitor in that audio output selection menu.

Equally important, EDID should also advertise multi channel LPCM support. You may check that with executing: edid-decode /sys/class/drm/card0-HDMI-A-1/edid If you are not sure, you can paste output of that command here and I can tell you then.

Please find below my setup:

Only sound from Youtube addon. No sound from files with multi channel sound.

end "edid" output:

Small correction, currently up to 8 audio channels over HDMI are supported on Allwinner, just no passthrough.

I tried to disable passtrough and I selected 5.1 output - still no sound at all from multi channel sources. Only GUI sounds and 2.0 sources.

I am not sure what did I wrong.

Thank you.

I just checked Orange Pi PC plus.

Video quality and new Kodi version is great.

Unfortunately I was not able to run any audio source >2.0 and HDMI passtrough.

Most of my video files are not passing audio signal to amplifier.

Hello. Yesterday I believe I have seen here Index of / images for Orange Pi PC PLUS.

Today I can't see them any more. Do you know if images for Orange Pi PC PLUS will be released again?

Hello,

I am really missing option to put my Orange Pi PC Plus board to sleep and wake up using power button.

Any chance to get this feature soon?

Besides that, I am really glad to see progress on this development for Orange Pi boards.
