Hi,
I am a bit confused about a problem I have with the sound output on my antergos box via HDMI:
I have installed kodi and watching HD videos works fine, sound and all. But as soon, as I try to watch a SD video, no sound is available anymore. Also e.g. on Youtube videos in Chrome, no sound is played.
At first I guessed it was some codec issue, but I have by now installed pretty mutch any codec-pack and player I found, without result…
Some info about my soundcard:
$ aplay -l

Trying “aplay -D plughw:X,Y /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav” doesn’t yield any sound for any card / device combination
In pavucontrol I have only enabled one output device configuration, for the HDMI output. I have tried all the possible configuration values for HDMI (stereo, 7.1, 5.1, the unplugged ones). I can see the volume level on the output device when a playback is running, but i can’t hear any output.
alsamixer:
default:
HDMI:
PCH:
Should I see more options on the HDMI tab in alsamixer? Can anyone point me in the direction why I only have sound for HD videos?
