  • Audio passthrough via optical not working

    Hi dev experts!

    My device is Sammix R95s motherboard info BX905X_V1.0 (2016-08-17) MS-M1 E198407
    CPU type S905X, 2G Ram
    Resolution 1080p, Refresh rate Default setting
    Installation is external
    I am currently using LibreELEC-S905.arm-9.0-devel-1522452099.img.gz
    The DTB file used is gxl_p212_2g.dtb

    I would like some help on figuring out why the toslink(optical) is not working . Under android 6 the optical works.

    Now when I try under LibreELEC I see the red light and no audio what I tried so far.

    My setting are:
    Audio passthrough on

    Dolby Digital (AC3) capable receiver on

    DTS cable receiver on

    ...

    Sync playback to display off

    What I have noticed when I set audio passthrough to on and then play a test file I get no more audio via hdmi. When I set passthrough back to off I don't get my audio via hdmi I need to reboot the box.

    GDPR-2 do you think the optical out issue is because I need my own dtb file?


    Big thanks :thumbup:

    Did you try ALSA, AML M8L AUDIO, HDMI? Audio should be output from SPDIF at the same time with HDMI.

    I also have a flavour of mxq pro 4k (leelbox) and I have hdmi audio and spdif audio at the same time.

    @ Kszaq I don't have the spdif option only. Whould it help if I upload the dtb of my box to see if there is a way to select only spdif? Or to turn off HDMI audio since its using the tv speakers and sound system speakers at the same time.

    Thanks for the great build! :cool:

  • cec-client use to mute tv speakers (hack)

    Hi,

    I am trying to send cec-client command out from kodi to my tv.

    the command is 'Set System Audio Mode' to ON. This should mute my tv speakers. So that only pass through is active I hope.

    I found cec specs @ CEC_Specs.pdf.
    Look at page 42.

    I found cec generator CEC-O-MATIC

    and more info here.

    The end result would be to add a command in the Autostart.sh every time kodi boots what do you guys think can this work?

    Thanks

  • passthrough output device grayed out

    Thanks for the info Jaaxx,

    For now Kszaq has said audio will be output simultaneously.
    In my case AML-MBAUDIO S/PDIF is not visible don't know why on Jarvins and Krypton.

    I am thinking of the following hack can Kodi send the HDMI CEC MUTE after few seconds when Kodi loads?

    why do you guys think?

    Thanks

    Hi Kszaq,

    How can I display AML-MBAUDIO S/PDIF as audio output and passthrough audio ouput?

    Do I need a special DTB file other than gxbb_p201.dtb ?

    Thanks

    OK!

    Thanks for the clarification!

    Thanks you all! For the tips :blush: unfortunately it still grayed out.

    The output configuration was set to optimized, I have tried to switching to Best and even Fixed but there was no change as suggested by Doug.

    If I boot into android the output Device is: Android , audiotrack and not ALSA: AML-M8AUDIO, PCM or HDMI.

    Could it be my device tree?

  • passthrough output device grayed out

    "sync playback to display" is not enabled,

    Any suggestion I should re-search on maybe the DTB file is wrong?

    Hi Kszaq,

    I get audio simultaneously on SPDIF and HDMI.

    I am 7.0.3.012g with device tree gxbb_p201.

    Is there a way to get the SPDIF output only ? :huh:


    The box is mxq-pro 4k (MXQ-S905-D16 VERSION 1.0 DATE: 151021 WIFI :realtek 8189ETV)

    The option I have as output devices : ALSA: AML-M8AUDIO, PCM
    ALSA: AML-M8AUDIO, HDMI
    PULSE: DEFAULT, Bluetooth Audio (PULSEAUDIO)

    Thank you for your build and help! :)

    If you're on Krypton you can forget about passthrough. Also if you're using an Amlogic box audio is output to all devices simultaneously.

    Hi Guys! thanks for the help!

    I do get audio simultaneously on SPDIF and HDMI :(

    Is there a way to get the SPDIF output only?

  • passthrough output device grayed out

    Hi guys,

    I would like my box to only output audio to spdif.

    I have box with Android 5.1.1 in the digital sound settings I can select spdif only.

    On libreELEC the option passthrough output device is grayed out, I am getting audio from my TV (HDMI) and my Audio Receiver (SPDIF).

    Is there a way to have spdif audio only?

    Thanks ! :)
