Audio over HDMI Broken (Static, popping)
#1
APologies if this isn't the right place. I've asked this on the Libreelec support forum too, but I was hoping a 2 pronged approach might help.


Long-time XBMC / KODI user, attempting to move from OpenElec on an IonITX Atom build, to Libreelec on an HP EliteDesk 800 G2 Mini (Intel Chipset using the HDMI add-on module)

I've installed LibreElec 8.2.5 without any drama. Connected to the media library, everything seems to be working ok, except that audio (any source) is presented with a terrible cracking / static.
I've changed the Output configuration to Fixed (various rates) with no effect.

HDMI is connected directly to the TV. Cable is known to be good, and the TV has no trouble on the older machine.

I haven't tested the new pc thoroughly yet. Next step is to install Windows 10, and see if I can swap various drivers etc. I'd rather not run KODI on Windows, but will if I need to.

Debug at http://ix.io/1cyb
(Movie tested for log is Braveheart - currently forcing 96k resampling - have tried others with little difference)

Sunk 2 solid days into this, and I'm at the end of my rope. Please help

Whatever you link is not a Debug Log. Turn of "Keep audio alive" and also "Send noise" - does something change?
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Apologies, that's the LibreElec debug paste thingy. Handy, but somewhat... succinct?

Both settings currently disabled. Neither seems to make much a noticeable difference. I'm dreading a hardware issue.

Hope that's better?

I'm heading out for the morning now, will check back in later.
Thanks for the help!

Looks all fine. Can you remove the "Satellelite cable / Antenna cable" from the TV?

No other cables connected at this time (other than Power, obviously)
