  • Capture 5.1 via HDMI and send it to audio system

    Thanks for your answers.

    My main goal is that it works and is as simple to set up as possible. I can live with "almost" everything in terms of price, including a Hat, USB, and HDMI splitter.

    Yes, I have the analog Teufel system with analog inputs that I would like to use again. I also see the issue with drivers, which is why I started this thread. I find a lot of different statements on the internet about what works and what doesn't. Does anyone have experience with any system of this kind? Any buying recommendations? I would like to avoid trying/buying everything multiple times, compiling drivers myself or spending hours setting everything up.

  • Capture 5.1 via HDMI and send it to audio system

    Hello everyone,

    unfortunately, I couldn't find anything in the forum and on the internet that really answer my question, even though I don't have anything particularly unusual in mind.
    I am currently running LibreElec on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ connected to a slightly older Panasonic TV (from 2009). The sound works well but is only stereo.
    I would now like to send the video to the TV and the sound to a 5.1 sound system (Teufel Concept E400). How can I realize this most easily?


    If I understand correctly, I can either get a sound card (USB or HifiBerry), configure Kodi accordingly, and connect the sound system directly. The second option would be to connect the Teufel to an amplifier. I would then need to somehow connect the Raspberry to it (HDMI splitter?). Kodi would need to be configured for passthrough accordingly.

    I have the following questions about that. Are my assumptions correct, or am I completely wrong? What is the best solution to get the most out of the sound system without spending hundreds of euros? Are there any other obstacles or things I need to consider before getting everything?

    Thank you very much for your help.

    Kind Regards,

    Danny
