You're welcome. I too have spent more time than I'm willing to admit fooling with Chrome audio. My issues seems to be related to HDMI audio and how Chrome handles it. On my spanking new Sony Tv I still must connect to a Youtube site before the sound will work. Not sure why but it does work. None of these issues show up using my PC monitor and audio system. Weird I know.

A correction is necessary here:

The correct setting for my system is "hw:0,3" not "HW:0,3"

Using caps for the hw causes the setting to be ignored with no displayed error. It's unclear to me if "plughw" would work as well but since I have it working I'll not mess with it.

I just had to keep at this and finally after a few hours of trial and error once again I was able to get the updated Chrome browser to spit out sounds. The last version did not require the Custom Audio settings to work on my Sony HDMI but now requires "HW:0,3" which is odd to me as a previous version used "HW:0,7" to function. Whatever works.

Once again joy is restored.

Just an afterthought. Sound works fine in Chrome on a monitor just seems to get lost when using HDMI on my Sony. Got to be some simple setting somewhere?

I did a fresh LE 12.0 install and once again Chrome is silent. Somewhat curious as the settings that once worked no long work. At one time I needed to use "HW:0,7"

for the Custom Audio device but the last !!.xx Chrome worked fine with no Custom Audio Device. Anyway I tried both and no joy.

I also ran aplay -L from terminal attached.

Maybe someone with a background in audio settings can point me in the right direction. This issue has been hounding me for some time and I'd like to understand what the right settings might be.

TIA

Forgive me but exactly do it set this up. I have used ssh but fuzzy on what I need to add/change/create. Maybe a example?

Most curious here as I recall using Windows SMB on my RPi3 and same router a few years ago with no issues. Now when I tried to add a source my NAS drive does not appear when I browse for new source. I had no problem with my windows Kodi install and showed up with no problems. I'm a total klutz with Linux and learning but age is my enemy. This is my X86 Legacy 11.xx system.

I seem have exceeded my knowledge of NAS storage using LE. What was straightforward using KODI on a windows machine requires a bit more work I assume being Linux based. I have a Netgear Nighthawk router with a usb share onboard and all I need is a simple way to access it from within LE as a network source. So far my attempts to add this drive (Q:) as a source have failed. I seem to be missing the proper format or ? I read the wiki and it seems I might need to modify a file or something using ssh? Any guidance appreciated.

While you're waiting for the expert replies you might try the x86 legacy build.

I'm considering maybe a 1TB M.2 drive for my RPi5 and looking for any thoughts for make/model ?

Sorry. Same kind of issues with NTFS files.

My 1st learned computer experience:

"The mean time to the next computer storage failure is directly proportional to the importance of the data."

Pretty common error it seems. You can run the chkdsk app in windows or a more simple solution is select your drive in windows from file explorer, click properties, Tools then error checking. It's a windows file issue more than LE.

As sort of a curiosity thing I reformatted one of my 2 -4TB NTFS hard drives to EXT4 several months ago. Just a few days ago the NTFS drive would no show mounting in LE. No upgrades nothing just normal read/write use and the drives have their own power source. This my X86 system with stable power. I've also noticed using windows sometimes completely random usb thumb drives will generate an error when plugged in. Windows reports it needs to scan and/or repair. It's a windows filesystem quirky condition with no reason and very irritating. I vote to dump the NTFS filesystem when using LE and stick to EXT4 as it seems rock solid. The Windows filesystem scheme is old outdated and downright clunky IMHO.

There have been many posts on hard disk errors mostly those formatted NTFS (windows) system. True enough the chkdsk program in windows will fix the errors but is less than quick and a real PIA to use. I have found a much more simple and reliable way to correct NTFS hard drive errors found in LE.

From a windows system: file explorer, right click the disk to repair, select properties, tools, Check for errors button. It will then ask if you wish to repair. Takes under 30 secs and has worked every time for me.

I've been searching for information on mouse input settings. All I have found so far is that the operating system determines pointer speed and sensitivity. Is there a file that might be edited to adjust the input?

NTFS is Micro-wonderful until it isn't.

Mini Tool or something like that claims to be able to migrate NTFS to EXT4 with their premium version and recover all your files after the reformat. I was skeptical and took the long road of moving all data to a different drive and reformatting EXT4 then moving it all back. Slow and tedious but data is safe and no further issues with NTFS (Not Too Funky Safe) file system.
