No sound over HDMI (again)
#1
Hello,
I did install Ubuntu 16.04.1 up to date as of 2016-11-9 and Kodi Jarvis 16.1(GIT:c327c53), installed using command line and followed that guide. This is clear install no skins, no addons.
I did installed Audio decoder add-on packages.
I am not using an GPU only my CPU intel Celeron 847
I would post my debug log but it is not like something is crashing so I don't know if there is a point in that.


Problem is with passing HDMI to user Kodi. When I am logged in as my default user kodi works fine with sound over hdmi, however when it is automatically login in during boot as Kodi user and starting Kodi, there is no sound. In the system menu two options which I can see are:
Code:
Default, Default Output Device (PULSEAUDIO)
Built-in Audio Analogue Stereo Headphones (PULSEAUDIO)

When logged in as other user in Kodi I can see:
Code:
Default, Default Output Device (PULSEAUDIO)
Built-in Audio Digital Stereo (HDMI), HDMI / DisplayPortHeadphones (PULSEAUDIO)

I did create user with these options
Code:
# usermod -a -G cdrom,audio,video,plugdev,users,dialout,dip,input kodi,netdev

The only thing I did worng was I did try all the options before going to last one in section two, but then I did revert some changes.

If anyone came to a problem like me - give up on trying to solve it there is not help in the internet or this forum.

However I did solve it by removing user Kodi making main user log in by default plus making Kodi run on startup. so exactly the same but without kodi user.
I did all of that by GUI in ubuntu, so I don't know commands

Code:
# usermod -a -G cdrom,audio,video,plugdev,users,dialout,dip,input kodi,netdev

^^ this command is wrong. It should be
Code:
# usermod -a -G cdrom,audio,video,plugdev,users,dialout,dip,input,netdev kodi
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

I think I did get it right anyway, because I did add user and then add netdev at the end I just did confuse myself typing it here
