Kodi RPi4 No Sound After Update
#1
So last night when I turned on my Kodi player I noticed it was auto-installing an update. After that, no sound on all videos/video addons.
I tried a different HDMI cable, same problem.
Different HDMI mini > HDMI adapter, same problem.
Different Raspberry Pi 4, same problem.
Different TV, same problem.
Downloaded a fresh image of Kodi 18.8 for RPi4, same problem.
How is this even possible?

Oh one other note. I plugged headphones into the audio jack, and the audio is working there but not on HDMI to TV.
Tried Settings > Audio > output device: tried HDMI only but same problem. Tried HDMI + Analogue, same problem.

Also, I tested the same HDMI cable on my XBOX and the TV is blasting audio fine. So TV is good, HDMI cable is good. But BOTH of my RPi4s won't send audio over HDMI.

Error from logs indicates some problem detecting the sound card? 
Not sure how to interpret this or what to do.

I never configured the time zone. This is the default it had from the new image I downloaded

A timezone will only give you upto 12(?) hours of difference. Enable the "Wait for network" option for getting the correct datetimestamp from the start.

Ok but is that related to the no audio problem? I don't really care about the timestamp, I just want to have audio working.

Nope. But one thing could lead to another. So it's better have it fixed.

Silly question, but is there any chance that you have moved the HDMI cable to the other port?

You only get sound from one port, but if the cable is in the wrong port, you will get picture.

I've just been bitten by the problem, so I wouldn't want you to waste time on something as simple as this.

I registered here just to say thank you!

I've moved recently and was flabbergasted why my identical setup (TV + RPi4) stopped working in the new apartment.
Respectively, I got video and could control it via Yatse but no audio or CEC.
Spent two days going through logs.
