Soundbar fail on Recalbox 9.2

[juas]

Hello everyone.
After updating my Recalbox 9.1 to version 9.2 on a Raspberry Pi 3, my sound bar connected to the TV's HDMI-CEC connection has stopped working and the sound comes out through the TV's speakers. If I use version 9.1 again it works without problems. How can I solve this error?
Thanks!

Hello @juas
Did you try to connect your BT soundbar using the recalbox BT connection, or to change the sound output in the menu (if its connected) ?

@Scavy Hi!
The sound bar does not have Bluetooth: only HDMI, mini jack and optical. For the optical output I have chosen the only option available for HDMI audio. As I said before, version 9.1 works well but not 9.2.
Thanks!

Hi @juas
Seems related to CEC and a regression in the kernel and/ord userland libs.
Will try to find a solution.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

BTW, it's HDMI-ARC. Did you try to change audio output device in sound settings ?
Just to be sure.

Hi! I tried it but it still doesn't work. I hope you find the solution.
Thanks and greetings!

@juas same problem here.
The strangest things is that when I turn on the Raspberry pi3 with recalbox, all sound coming from the soundbar is not working. Even not switching to the HDMI input of the Raspberry.
For example, watching TV channels, I just turn on the Pi, and seconds later the sound mutes automaticaly

@juas I have recently changed over from RetroPie to Recalbox and I'm experiencing the same issue with Recalbox 9.2.2-pulsar. I'm using the same Raspberry Pi 3b+ connected via HDMI cable to my TV. The sound bar is also connected via HDMI cable.

I tried adding the following line to the /boot/recalbox-user-config.txt file but this didn't help:

hdmi_ignore_cec=1
