Rpi4 no audio from addons

Help and Support
1

Hi,

I have the problem that there is no audio from add-ons.
Gui sounds, as well as audio from files are ok.
The audio coming from add-ons where working before.

To rule out any config problems, I installed OSMC on a fresh SD-Card, but the problem persists.
I also connected the rpi directly to a monitor to rule out TV / Audio receiver problems.

I just figured out the grab-logs feature, very nice!
Find the logs https://paste.osmc.tv/padugileqo

Hoping for some advice how to continue troubleshooting

Cheers
Daniel

Try setting GUI resolution to 1080/60

Thx @ActionA
I tried 1080 i and p on 60Hz and both did not fix it.

Turn off passthrough in Kodi’s audio settings.

Turning off passthrough did not change the behavior

If you use stock config.txt and config-user.txt (I can see you have made modifications), does audio come back?

@sam_nazarko
I commented every out of the /boo/config-user.txt
but it didn’t fix the problem

…I had a look into dmesg and finally found a related error message

bcm2835-codec bcm2835-codec: Failed setting ctrl 00990a67, ret 3

If this is a fresh install, then I wonder if there may be a hardware issue.

fyi

I also tried my sdcard as well as the fresh installed sdcard with a friends of mine rpi4, all had the same error.

Then I rpi-updated and crushed my bootloader.
After fixing it, I’ve tested LibreELEC and the addons are working there.

Not sure was the real problem was, but I have a working kodi again.
Thank’s for your help.

cheers
Daniel

Sounds like SPI firmware may have been outdated on your device.
Should work as expected under OSMC now.
