So I finally got my 3PiA working with LibreElec, but it kept crashing as it was running out of memory. So I upgraded to a 3PiB+, and now LibreElec and Kodi run great, but I have no audio on composite!
I have the right cables (MicroCenter actually sells the specific ones for RPi), as I am successfully getting video on the yellow pin. I switched em around just to make sure they're not the "old camcorder" style, but no.
I already edited the config file, commenting distro and uncommenting distro_composite. I also added the necessary line to cmd video=Composite-1:720x480@60ie
I tested the enable analog audio line, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Googling actually led me to another thread on here explaining that's for people who want digital video with analog audio.
Are there any other fixes or settings I should be changing?

You did it right. There is a chance that you have a hardware revision, which wasn't supported by LE 9.2.8 firmware (firmware is part of the LE image). So you can still try LE 10 and 11 (newer firmware).
This worked! Using the latest version now with the config edit you mentioned! Thank you so much.
Now to figure out how to enable composite signal haha -
Old versions eg. LE 9.2.8 should work.
Trying this version, flashed with Libre tool as well as Etcher, but now I get no video signal at all. Flashing green and red on the Pi but just a big [NO SIGNAL] on the monitor.
Tried the config edit posted above as well -
Sorry, wrong hardware. 1GB of RAM is the minimum to make it work on RPi.
So, just to be clear, LibreELEC will not work on Rpi 3A at all? Will the model 3b work? Seems like it has 1gb RAM. My goal here was native analog composite signal, so I don't wanna buy an Rpi 4 or 5

Forgive me, as I am very new to this. But I have followed the instructions/videos on this to a tee and cannot get it to work.
I have a Raspberry Pi 3A, a microSD, and the LibreELEC SD Creator.
I tried writing the 12.0.2 OS to the SD card right out of the box. It finished, I placed the sd card into the pi3, plugged in the power, and it started booting. I got the LibreELEC logo, something about partitioning files, then the logo flashes and I get a huge wall of error messages.
I thought maybe the size of the SD card might be the problem, since it's 256gb it is originally exFAT. So I also tried formatting it as FAT32, THEN writing the OS image. No luck either. I then used Disk Manager to wipe the SD card completely, leaving at as a big unallocated partition, then writing the OS. That didn't work either.
I'm on Windows, and I don't know anything about Linux or Raspberry Pi, so please explain it to me like I'm a moron lol.
