    SOLVED: its a known fault with 12.2.1. RPi5 firmware fails to init HDMI audio.
    FIX:
    Reset the Pi’s firmware and HDMI state.

    1. Power off the Pi
    2. Remove the SD card
    3. Power on the Pi (let it boot to the “no OS” screen)
    4. Power off again
    5. Reinsert SD card
    6. Boot normally

    Then go to "Setting->System->Audio output device" and reselect HDMI device.
    Done. Worked for mine.

    Dear Brains Trust,
    I have a RPi5 - LibreELEC 12.2.1 (everything stock) connected to a receiver to TV via HDMI. This setup has been running for some years (RPi3->4->5) faultlessly.
    Today the audio stopped working. I rebooted everything to no avail. Now video picture plays ok, CEC is working, just no audio.
    On digging deeper, I noticed in "Settings->system->audio output device" there is only one option "default, Bluetooth Audio(PULSE AUDIO)". From memory there was also an HDMI option? Am I correct, and that's what should be selected. Which seems to have disappeared.
    - Should there be an HDMI option? And how to get it back? Why did it disappear?

    Many thanks for any assistance in advance.

    Hi all,

    Trying to config a LibreELEC (Rpi2) to use BOSE USB powered speakers (Companion 5's) . The speakers look to recognized by Kodi when plugged into the USB port.

    'Settings/ System/Audio/Audio output device' shows the following options:

    - ALSA: Bose USB Audio (@:CARD=Audio,DEV=0) , Analog

    - ALSA: Bose USB Audio (surround21:CARD=Audio,DEV=0), Analog

    - ALSA: Bose USB Audio, S/PDIF

    along with the normal options HDMI, Analogue, etc.... (HDMI, Analogue and PULSE Bluetooth all function correctly)

    I get no audio from the BOSE speakers regardless which ALSA option is used.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!
