@teeedubb - Just came across this yesterday and setting it up went pretty smoothly. had a few snags but got them sorted. Only one problem still. Audio.

I've read almost this entire thread and while i've seen similar issues i havent seen my specific issue (i dont think)..

Kodibuntu 16.1 - I implemented all your steps via ssh as appropriate.

Kodi has sound. Works fine. When steam starts .. no sound. I get "cannot connect to audio service" in the audio menu as others have reported.

If i run the command pulseaudio from an ssh session while in steam and go back into the audio menu - i know see it has audio. I can go through the configuration menu and select my HDMI out sound source and sometimes it will work. Other times it wont. Both BPM and games have sound when it does work. If i exit steam it sends me back to Kodi as it should. Sometimes i have sound in kodi after exiting steam and some times i dont. WHen i dont i see pulse audio is showing up in kodi as my sound source .. which ..it shouldnt

i assume the pre and post scripts are not working? how can i confirm? which log shows errors such as that? do i need to chown them to root, or keep them as my own user name? I've played with the options in the script to varying levels of success, but the settings never seem to "stick" in both kodi and steam so that switching back and forth between the two results in sound as i want.

what can i show you to help diagnose?

thanks!!
