I have paired the phone and pi successfully. My audio is out to home theatre amp via HDMI, but I am not hearing any audio even though my phone shows playing file to libreelec. What is the next step or setting needed to hear the audio, pls. Thank.
I suppose this is one of those that people may think is covered completely in some youtube video.... but no. I see where someone has found how to switch the output to earphone jack rather than HDMI, but I am already on HDMI for all my audio. Other web tips do not seem to solve this....I will let you all know if I find an answer. Thanks anyway.
Ok, it seems I need to do this. or do I, since I have already paired and connected the iphone.. let's see/ (And if I need to do this, .....remember I am playing the audio through HDMI to a home theatre amp....... does this device have a mac address such as I need in the final step? Thanks.
