I've been trying to get this problem fixed all day. Audio works on the physical computer itself but it does not work through HDMI. Please Help!!

[LeKodeur]

What do you mean it works 'on the physical computer'? Do you mean through the analog sockets/headphones?
Do you have 'passthrough' enabled ... what's the other end of your HDMI connected to? Have you tried another HDMI cable?
Check your sound output settings using the Audio-Mixer Kodi addon.
What exactly have you tried?

best would be to provide a Debug Log.

But I agree with LeKodeur...answer those questions please and do what he suggests.

[RudeAssYata]

Yes, I mean it works through the analog sockets/headphones. Yes, I do have passthrough enabled. The other end of the HDMI is connected to my TV. Yes, I have tried another HDMI cable and I have also tried a fresh install twice. I don't believe I have tried that last suggestion though.

[LeKodeur]

Do you mind trying it ... and David1977 suggestion

If you have passthrough enabled, is your TV capable of multi-channel sound decoding for the sound CODECs you are trying to pass-through to it? If not and your TV is stereo (has two speakers for left and right sound channels), then turn-off passthrough and configure output as stereo to your TV.

[DaVu]

Normally the TV should at least support DolbyDigital. It should downmix the DD5.1 track to stereo itself. This (sometimes) does not happen with DTS.

But LeKodeur is right:

- disable passthrough
- set the audio output device to "HDMI" (please don´t mix "audio output device" with "passthrough device"..those are different)
- set the channels you got (2.0)
- play some files

If this doesn´t work, and you don´t provide a Debug Log, I won´t answer anymore . This is nothing personal. But I don´t have the time to hunt for ghosts and the normal way in here is: "No logfile, no issue"

What you still can do to help us helping you is:

- provide the Debug Log (<- click here for a howto)
- switch to the desktop mode or SSH (wiki) in and get us the output of:

Code:

aplay -l | pastebinit

and

Code:

aplay -L | pastebinit

Both will return an URL. For a explanation. The commands (aplay -L and aplay -l) returning infos about your audio devices and the other part( ... | pastebinit) pushes the output of that command to a paste-service such as http://pastebin.com and you will get a direct URL to that paste which you should post here.

- provide a screenshot from your audio settings showing which audio devices are available. (this is in a bit related to those commands above, but done at GUI)

If you don´t do those things, we can´t help you anymore, as those are necessary to help you. If you don´t do it, we can´t anymore.
