Solved How to enable HDMI audio output?
#1
Hi, I would like to enable HDMI audio output in my Kodi. I use Ubuntu 22.04. 
In my system there is no audio output at all. What to do?
Code:
ela@akacja:~$ aplay -l
aplay: device_list:274: no soundcards found...

ela@akacja:~$ pactl list short sinks
0       auto_null       module-null-sink.c      s16le 2ch 44100Hz       SUSPENDED

Try to reload alsa driver, make sure your hdmi is connected.
Code:
sudo alsa force-reload

if not successfull, try to reinstall alsa
Code:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall alsa-base
sudo alsa force-reload

Thanks, Unfortunately still the same: no sound even no any hardware output devieces available  in PulseAudio Volume Control. I connected my Kodi machine (Ubuntu) through HDMI to my new LG TV OLED55C21LA. Video displays normally but no sound.

EDIT:
Case solved.
I forgot to turn on 'HD Audio' in the BIOS because so far I used an external usb card and hence all the fuss. Sorry
After switching on, it is ok.
