I'm sure you already know, but:

The default device has no passthrough capabilities, but support 7.1 channels PCM:

     Device 1
         m_deviceName      : @
         m_displayName     : Default (NVidia CK804 NVidia CK804)
         m_deviceType      : AE_DEVTYPE_PCM
         m_channels        : FL, FR, BL, BR, FC, LFE, SL, SR
         m_streamTypes     : No passthrough capabilities

The only passthrough device is the S/PDIF device with 2 PCM channels (5.1 via AC3):

     Device 4
         m_deviceName      : iec958:CARD=CK804,DEV=0
         m_displayName     : NVidia CK804
         m_deviceType      : AE_DEVTYPE_IEC958
         m_channels        : FL, FR
         m_streamTypes     : STREAM_TYPE_AC3,STREAM_TYPE_DTSHD_CORE,STREAM_TYPE_DTS_1024,STREAM_TYPE_DTS_2048,STREAM_TYPE_DTS_512

I'm afraid as long you do not find a physical connection and kodi configuration to output hearable sound via the S/PDIF interface (like TV(AC3) from Audio quickstart guide - Official Kodi Wiki) there is no passthrough support.

chewitt Did not look for any discussion.

The error message in the source is here. In mt7601u_init_hardware() first the firmware is loaded in mt7601u_mcu_init() and later the EEPROM is checked in mt7601u_eeprom_init().

I'm afraid you both do waste your time. The firmware is loaded successfully and the version is printed but the driver does not support devices without EEPROM (or valid EEPROM data).

Which alsa device from your Kodi log is now selected for having sound?

elmismo In alsamixer do you have a volume bar for S/PDIF or can you only toggle between "MM" and "0"?

That surprise me. I've tested 20201221 from USB stick on my Kaveri system, reproduced the issue and solved it by choosing amdgpu.

Please post complete pastekodi log again

For these Southern and Sea Island GPUs you can switch to the amdgpu kernel driver that is not affected by the bug.

Make /flash writable: mount -o remount,rw /flash.

Edit syslinux configuration: nano /flash/syslinux.cfg and add radeon.si_support=0 amdgpu.si_support=1 to the APPEND line.

Crash log is from version 20201211 and does not help.

Access 20201221 via ssh, use pastekodi and post the URL to collect more information.

Or just type pastecrash in your ssh session and post the resulting URL here.

If you are still using a RPI2 you do need LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-9.80-nightly-20201218-76a852d.img.gz

Yes

Yes

No.

No

Put the new firmware into /storage/.config/firmware/brcm

Use the "Driver Select" Addon to try latest kernel or crasycat DVB drivers.

Check Settings->Addons->My Addons->Program Addons.

Or install from zip.

thedogg is right: "I have read thar FLIRC is visible as a keyboard", use

<keyboard>  ...  </keyboard>

instead of remote

Quote from chapas

I saw the old PIN on 'pvrparental.pin', 478963, before altering the file as suggested tried once more and didn't work?!?!?!? Bug maybe.

Looks like an already edited file. The PIN is not stored as plain value.

Stop kodi: systemctl stop kodi

Reset parental settings in /storage/.kodi/userdata/guisettings.xml to default:

    <setting id="pvrparental.duration" default="true">300</setting>
    <setting id="pvrparental.enabled" default="true">false</setting>
    <setting id="pvrparental.pin" default="true"></setting>

Start kodi again: systemctl start kodi

Kodi Leia is checking updates on startup and then every 24 hours.

The RPI is booting so fast that network is not yet configured when Kodi starts and repos cannot be accessed.

Enable the "Wait on network" option in LE settings addon to have network on Kodi start.
