waclaw66 · HDMI-CEC doesn't work since 11.0.3 waclaw66 December 30, 2023 at 8:28 AM

HDMI-CEC was working perfectly in 11.0.1, it stopped after upgrade to 11.0.3.

There is a full log...
https://paste.libreelec.tv/lasting-whale.log

Seems the problem was caused by cheap micro HDMI adapter, that I changed in the same time that LibreElec was upgraded to 11.0.3.

Thanks for your support!

Already on 11.0.4, still persists...

``Same problem, issue started after ugprade to 11.0.3 on RPi4 connected to SamsungTV. That 15min unplug didn't help.

CEC seems to be detected...

waclaw66 · 5.1 sound doesn't work on RPi4 waclaw66 November 30, 2022 at 4:56 PM

Quote from popcornmix

The article you linked to says:
So that setting is 2 channel PCM only.
Also you are using SPDIF, which can handle stereo PCM, or compressed 5.1 using AC3 or DTS. It won't support multichannel PCM.
In kodi, set channels to 2.0. Enable AC3 passthrough. Enable AC3 transcode. You will get multichannel output from your 5.1 speakers (it will be using AC3 as the actual format that goes over SPDIF).

You're a genius 👍 It works! Thank you very much.

Quote from HiassofT

TVs usually don't support 5.1ch PCM - if you connected the RPi to an AVR that'll be different.
If your TV accepts AC3/DTS/... and can decode it or pass it through to an optical output, (E)ARC HDMI port etc then enable passthrough support in audio settings, choose the HDMI device and select available formats (AC3 etc - you need to be in expert level mode to see them)
so long,
Hias

My Samsung TV supports PCM or bitstream at input same as in this arcicle...

I've tested both settings, but LibreELEC shows only 2 channels supported in the log.

My setup is LibreELEC ==HDMI==> SamsungTV ==SPDIF==> DECODER ==line cables==> 5.1 speakers

Hi,

5.1 sound doesn't work on Raspberry Pi 4 2GB using LibreELEC 10.0.3. There are recognized FL and FR channels only.

I've tested two different setups, different TVs, different RPi4s, clean installations, always the same.

Same on my side, changing scereen resolution from 4k@60 to 1080p@60 solved it temporarily.
