That's the fix. I put "hdmi_drive=1" back in the config.txt and the audio source is sticking across Samba "Movie" shares and "Live TV" video.

Thanks.....

Da Flex:

Disabling "Audio passthrough" in the System/Audio was the fix (mostly). I say mostly because the "Audio Source" setting in this same section does NOT seem to stick. What I mean is I set the source to my Boss DAC. Then try a reboot and go to Live TV....it reverts back to "pi:HDMI".

I'm thinking my fix would be to edit my "advanced.xml" file (which I did set up one). Suggestions on the edit?

Note: I'm using the Official Kodi Wiki guide for Audio Quickstart for suggested settings (for anyone else interested): Audio quickstart guide - Official Kodi Wiki

Thanks.....for all your help!!!

Hdmi-Drive=1 definitely kills audio through HDMI.

However, trying it on a USB drive did the same thing. In system settings whenever I play any type of video the default audio source changes from my "Boss DAC" to "pi:HDMI". When I try forcing the audio source change back during (or even when I don't have a video playing) I can hear the audio move from the DAC-to-Demon AVR speaker back to HDMI-to-TV speakers.

That didn't work; however, when I was testing the HD HomeRun PVR I noticed sometime. I did the following in this order:

(1) First confirmed in System/Audio settings that my default source was the Allo Boss DAC (confirmed)

(2) I could hear the GUI click audio sound coming from the Denon AVR receiver when I moved through the LibreElectric interface

(3) Then when I opened my Live TV app (HDHomeRun) the audio went back to the HDMI through the TV.

(4) I then rechecked the System/Audio settings and it still shows the Boss Dac as default

I've checked that my ALSA is working and this is the output in SSH "aplay -l".....

card 0: BossDAC (BossDac), device 0: Boss Dac HiFi (Master) pcm512x-hifi-0

Subdevices: 1/1

Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

with SSH "alsamixer" this is the output.

Read quite a bit in Kodi Wiki both on ALSA and PulseAudio and can't find a setting change that LibreElectric wont override.

Here is my GUI Settings in plain text.guisettings.pdf

I have the following set up that I'm trying to split audio sound signals on.

RP3-B

LibreElectric 9.1.501; Kodi 18.4

Allo Boss DAC - set up properly in config text file (see attached)

Denon AVR receiver (receiving separate red-white audio coaxial cables)

Vizio LCD TV (HDMI in CEC port)

Allo BOSS set as "default" ALSA audio in Kodi system config

When I stream music through Samba shares from my server the audio to the Demon AVR receiver works great; however, when I try to stream any type of video (PVR HDHomerun OTA signal or Samba share video files) the audio goes out through the TV.

What I want to do is have all audio going out the DAC and use TV screen as a monitor. I'm not sure how to change this setting and where?
