Hi to everybody,
First I would say English is not my native language but I think it will do the trick.
I am facing the ALSA-HDA-Intel-Linux hdmi audio bug on a HP Elite Mini 800 G6 NUC and I can't fix it by my own. I am a real nut on Linux use because I only work on Microsoft Servers since 10 years. So my knowledge of Linux & his kernels is really near 0 !
But I use Kodi since many years and I needed a media center so I tried LE.
I made a lot of search and I already followed this entire topic : RE: No audio on a mini PC
Tried to install Ubuntu, install alsa-tools & alsa-tools-gui and ran hdajackretask , and after reboot HDMI audio was shown and work.
So I've copied out the hda files in /lib/firmware and /etc/modprobe.d to the /storage/.config/firmware and /storage/.config/modprobe.d respectively. like boostedvtak did in his LibreELEC. After that for him HDMI audio works on LE but for me HDMI audio is not shown and doesn't work.
I've found here https://github.com/clearlinux/distribution/issues/2396 that a "quirk" must be added to force pin connectivity but as I don't know Linux I don't understand if this "quirk" has to be implemented in the kernel by the kernel admins or if it's a thing I must do ?
I tried to install LE 10, LE 11, and LE 12 and no way to get HDMI audio. If I don't fix it I will have to leave LE and install Kodi on Ubuntu directly.
I know it's a tricky issue but if someone can help me I would be really grateful .
