I have a problem with my Raspberry Kodi and Sony TV. Once connected, the TV shows Audio format error, check your device output. Is there any way I can resolve this issue by disabling the audio output over hdmi? Thanks.

There is an option to select the audio output device:
Settings > System > Audio > Audio Output Device
Mine gives options PI:HDMI, PI:Analogue, PI:HDMI and Analogue, and PULSE: Default, Bluetooth (PULSEAUDIO)
If you do disable audio over HDMI, how are you going to hear your audio?

Thanks. I will give it a try. The main problem is that the TV is not even showing the Kodi screen. Just a black screen with audio format output error. Is there anything I can do from config file or something?

Beside the above (which is correct), you should make sure that you have switched to the HDMI input on your TV before powering the Pi, probably. Normally the above should fix that. But it might also be worth a test.
