I am having an error after upgrading, USB sound card is no longer an option in kodi for raspberry pi for some reason. It worked fine in kodi 16 but no option now in kodi 17

How did you installed Kodi 17 in Raspbian ? How are you starting Kodi ? Do you have pulseaudio installed/enabled or not ?
Please post your http://kodi.wiki/view/log_file

I think I have pulse audio installed


add source
/etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://pipplware.pplware.pt/pipplware/di...ain/binary /

Add the keys

wget -O - http://pipplware.pplware.pt/pipplware/key.asc | sudo apt-key add -

update the sources and Upgrade Rpi

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

sudo apt-get install kodi

Ok. You can check if Kodi is using pulseaudio in the audio settings where you choose your sound card. And please post the other asked information to debug your problem.

Seems like its using pulse audio, will removing pulse audio fix this?

[rascas]

In the audio settings, choose the last device "PulseAudio Sound Server", and on video settings, enable mmal and disable omxplayer. Restart Kodi after that.
PS: And make sure you have your sound card also selected in Pixel Desktop, in upper right corner sound icon.

pulse audio sound server works already for the sound card, its just different from the way I had it before where it was already an option instead of using pulse audio. but I'll do that, thanks!

I just ended up removing pulseaudio with
sudo apt-get autoremove pulseaudio
and then the USB sound card showed up in the ALSA setting in kodi

thanks for the help

You shouldn't need to remove pulseaudio, it should work, your card probably wasn't correctly configured in the pulseaudio system controls.
