Hi,
I use an Tronsmart Ara x5 plus which is like the common Cherrytrail Intel dongle and since #901 I had the no audio via hdmi issue (last tested #1031).
However,  I am able to play a wav file when running aplay to plughw:0,2 and it does come out from the hdmi.
I tried creating asound.conf in ~/.config but it did not take effect after restart. How can i make it permanent without rebuilding libreelec from scratch? Or, is there a gui menu item which allows sub device selection that i missed which contradicts the system settings?

Thanks!

/storage/.config/asound.conf should be used after a reboot - are you sure your asound.conf is correct?

For now this is more likely to be a bug in the kernel (IMHO).

Phils opened a bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103299 which may have been erroneously closed as a dupe of this potentially unrelated PulseAudio bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100488 so worth keeping an eye on them for now. There's also this bug on Arch which despite being reported as a "pure ALSA setup without PulseAudio" is now classified as a PulseAudio bug! So unfortunately, I don't think anyone has a clue what is going on.
