I call it unique because I cant find anyone with the same problem. I have lost all system sounds, including sounds running through HDMI to my onkyo Tx-nr3009 receiver. The sounds are the normal sounds when you change menu's, or select something in KODI, and the theme music I added to my movies. Now even when I run a test in windows 7 for my speakers, I get no sound from that test, when it worked in the past. But the weird part is, if I play a MKV movie through Kodi, I get the full DTS MA played through my system. I think somehow Kodi jacked some things up on my computer.
Let me back up a bit.......I have Helix 14.2 installed, and am using the MQ5 skin version 6.1.8 (Im pretty sure it is that, I uninstalled Kodi this morning to see if it fixed my problem, but I seem to remember it being 6.1.8) Up until 2 days ago everything was working fine, all sounds were being played through my home theater system ie all Kodi sounds including the sounds of changing menus and selecting items, and all the normal windows sounds ie opening a folder in windows.
I found out I could add theme music to my movies by going to the movie and pushing the "C" button and then pressing "get more info" So I started to do that. I added theme music to "Tron" and "Avitar" etc. Then I found out I could add extra fanart like disk art, banner etc so I started to do that. This is where the problem started.......I was getting the theme music playing fine until I downloaded some clearart. All of a sudden the Kodi system sounds stopped working, and the theme music stopped. At this time I was only using my laptop, and it was not hooked up into my home theater. I was a little puzzled, but didn't put to much thought into it. Later in the day I hooked my laptop into my home theater, and the problem persisted. I restarted my laptop, and the problem was still there. I went through all the audio settings on Kodi, and they were all in check. The GUI sound button was checked to "skin default", and the HDMI settings were set to WASPI with my receiver selected. Then I checked all the settings in windows, and everything was in check there as well. It showed my receiver being the default device, but when I run a test with my speakers I get no sound at all.
I did a complete uninstall of Kodi thinking that might solve the problem, but it didn't. When I run the test in windows for my speakers I still get nothing, even though everything is configured correctly. Since that didn't work I did a system restore on my laptop to the day before the problem started, that didn't fix it either. So now I am lost on how to fix this issue. It seems to have started from downloading some clearart with this skin. I have not re-installed Kodi yet, because I want to fix the audio issue in widows first.
To recap......I was getting all windows and Kodi sounds playing through my home theater system, until I downloaded some clearart in MQ5. Now I don't get ANY Windows or Kodi system sounds through my home theater system, BUT if I play a MKV movie through Kodi I get the full DTS MA, or True HD audio.
Can anyone help guide me to fix this issue?
