Full Version: RPi audio connections
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I have my RPi (openelec with USB) attached with my TV via HDMI cables. Everything works great. Then I have my TV attached to amplifier by audio cable. This way I can watch TV and listen through TV speakers or I watch TV and listen via external speakers through amplifier. Everything works great as well.
To listen via amplifier TV must be turned on.
Now I would like to listen to radio stations from my RPi through amplifier without my TV turned on. I know I need to turn TV first to choose station etc, but later on I don’t want to have my TV turned on.
What I did, I connected audio cable from RPi (connector was not used as the signal used HDMI) and connected with amplifier. It looks like I am not getting audio signal on regular audio connection. I believe I have to change my config.txt settings. Below are my config.txt settings. What should be changed to have my configuration working but I still want to have ability use HDMI cables when I watch TV?

Thank you in advance,

Dual audio output option in the settings menu?
And a tip from the user delinend: you don't need to turn on your tv, you can also use a 'VFD': http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=15967
