1. Stupid Question but did you try another HDMI Cabel ?
   Did your Cable can handle HDMI 2.1 ?

2. It seems that the EVGA RTX 3060 XC Gaming Grapic Card has 4 Outputs
   3x Displayport and 1x HDMI.
   Did you check the Recalbox.conf File ?
   What did it say under

------------ C - Audio ------------

Set the audio device (auto, hdmi, jack)

audio.device=auto

Set system volume (0..100)

audio.volume=90

Enable or disable system sounds in ES (0,1)

audio.bgmusic=1
If not set I would suggest that you set "audio.device" to "hdmi"

The default recalbox.conf file for PC

3. Did you try to Reset your Recalbox to Factory Settings and than start it again (with your TV connected and turned on before you start Recalbox ?)

@alvin

Another HDMI = Yes
48GB HDMI = Yes

Volume is 90%
System sounds are on

I tried Automatic and HDMI, nothing changed...

[dam_j]

@dam_j

Reset = Yes
Complete new install on new USB = Yes

@dam_j said in RecalBox x64 / PC = No sound over HDMI to TV:

All seems to work besides HDMI-Audio to TV, i have 6 (!) HDMI / Displayport Audio devices to choose from but nothing works...

There is a Displayport and an HDMI-Port on your Motherboard
Your Graphiccard has 3 Displayports and 1 HDMI Port.
This makes 4 Displayports & 2 HDMI Ports = 6 Ports where you can get the Audio from.
Also the Motherboard has Audio-Connections and a Build-In HD Audio-Controller.

1, In the BIOS of your Motherboard, did you check the right Video-Ouput ?
See Page 27 on the Manual of your Motherboard -
Primary Video Device should be set to "PCIE Video

2. Did you disable the Onboard HD Audio Controller
   See Page 29 - Point 6,5 "Onboard Devices Configuration" on the Manual of your Motherboard ?

@alvin

• The Onboard HD-Audio is disabled
• I don´t see any primary video option cause my AMD 5600x doesn´t have integrate graphics, so the DP and HDMI ports on my motherboard have no function

So what are these Devices called in Recalbox?

[dam_j]

@alvin

Can´t tell you that

Can´t tell you that

Okayyyy....

Do you know what ?
If yon can't or won't tell me without any reason I'm out of here.
Good Luck with your Problem !

@alvin

Sorry that you out of here because i can´t answer you a question about RecalBox...

@dam_j Please download and install the latest official version that has just been released, and test again:

[dam_j]

@zing

Will do that ! Thanks.

[dam_j]

@zing
Ok, with 8.1 the only Audio Output device i have now is "DUMMY OUTPUT" which sadly doesn´t work.

@dam_j I can only imagine that the problem then is a driver incompatibility with your video card, and it's not something a user can solve on their own.
