Odroid-XU4 Kodi with RB6.1

[arcueid]

Hi,

I updated to RB6.1 and found new issues :

• system sound is at 0% after start.
• kodi cannot play videos (they are freezing)
• no sound when playing music
• default sound card seems to be analog on kodi, while I'm using an AVR.

BR,
Alex.

After reboot, Kodi is able to play videos without sound.
If I go to settings/audio, menu stucks for 20/30secs, then goes timeout.
There I cannot select audio output (with is empty !).

Any idea ?

Some infos:

• recalbox.conf:
  audio.device=auto
  audio.volume=100
  audio.bgmusic=1
• /boot/config:
  <empty>
• cat /proc/asound/cards:
  0 [OdroidXU4 ]: Odroid-XU4 - Odroid-XU4
  Odroid-XU4
• grep audio /etc/retroarch.cfg | grep -v "#":
  <empty>
• lsmod | grep snd
  <empty>
• cat /etc/modules.conf
  uinput
  usbhid
• amixer
  <empty>

Looks like no driver is loaded ...

I tried this config, but there is still no sound on HDMI:

• cat /boot/config.txt
  hdmi_drive=2
  dtparam=audio=on
  config_hdmi_boost=0
  hdmi_force_hotplug=1

Looks like a known bug (https://gitlab.com/recalbox/recalbox/issues/836) due to the kernel b*mp.
No solution yet to my knowledge.

Thanks I'll follow it.

There is 2 issues I think :

• audio config not restored on boot (after manual setting, I get audio in games)
• kodi audio not working at all (even after setting audio output device in RB)

Hello,

On my xu4 with recalbox with update installed. I try to follow your instruction and change the asound.conf :
pcm "hw:0,0".
After a reboot, it just removed the menu stucks timeout.

I still have no sound on kodi and video is freezing after few seconds.

recalbox.conf:
audio.device=auto (try hdmi as well)
audio.volume=100
audio.bgmusic=1

I have all the same infos arcueid mention as bellow.

On the kodi.log I got some error after trying to play a video on youtube:

I would like to install aplay command to list and check if audio device is correct but I don't know how on rootbuild.
