[Kodi 19] HDMI extractor's audio stopped working

[grzegorzmilka]

I’ve turned settings → system → audio → stereoupmix to YES (contrary to Passthrough not working in 19.1? (solved) - #14 by Paul_Solecki) and now both movies work. My problems seem to be resolved.

@grahamh

What happens if you play a video with stereo PCM with passthrough turned off on Vero?

The audio for both movies is off.

@JimKnopf

Also you have tried settings:

• settings → system → audio → keep audio device active to ALWAYS
• settings → system → audio → send low volume noise to TRUE

Yes, they didn’t help.

@JimKnopf

Just to be sure: You connected the Vero to the splitter using the hdmi IN port, the beamer to the hdmi OUT port … and already tried every of the three EDID modes? https://sgcdn.startech.com/005329/media/sets/hd202a/hd202a_qsg.pdf

Yes, I’ve rechecked the connection and have tried all EDID modes. They didn’t work.

Last question: Why you have to use this hdmi splitter at all? The output device is a beamer and the only function for this splitter is to provide an audio signal using S/PDIF … which you can get directly from the Vero itself. You mention in your opening post a “switch” … but it is not clear what you mean by that?

The “switch” in question is Nintendo Switch. I use a HDMI to splitter to channel audio from both devices using one audio cable (my speaker is far away from Vero and Switch). I can draw a diagram to explain if needed.
