Kodi (17.6/LIBRELEC) on a Rpi3B
StarTech.com USB Stereo Audio Adapter (https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00F7120TQ/ref=...70_TE_item)
When I'm using the above config..
- If I'm moving around between kodi screens to select a video file to play suddenly I get a blast of digital noise that sounds like a jack hammer. It usually goes away as soon as I start playing a video file.
- 2 channel video files play fine. 5.1 Dolby ones - no sound, video fine.
My WD TV live box which seems to handle these and pass these on to my Sony receiver which decodes them fine.
I experimented with some of the Kodi audio settings I could find in System/Audio but no change.
If I set the audio to come out of the Rpi3 headphone jack.. it passes stereo audio to the RCA L/R jacks fine to the receiver for both 2.0 and 5.1 videos (although the audio level is a bit too low).
I seem to remember somewhere when I was installing the image there was a volume control setting for the headphone jack but I can't find that in the Kodi menu (not even in the system settings/audio). Is there another audio menu somewhere for this?
Either I am way too green at this or the Kodi on Rpi3 does not have the capabilities I thought it would. I was hoping to replace the WD TV with Kodi and still get full 5.1 Audio support.
Help!
