Hello
I’ve just discovered Lakka and think it’s a really great project !
I’m trying to set up my PC with Lakka but I can’t get any sound.
My PC is plugged via HDMI on my TV I’m using an ATI HD7970, with HDMI plugged on it.
I’ve tryed the “radeon.audio=1” trick (added it on the cmdline), no success, even after having trying ALL possible settings in the audio_device="" variable.
I would really appreciate having help and i think it could help a lot of people !
Many thanks
First you can check if you can get some sound working 
List the devices and check the id of the card and device for hdmi, for example :
aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card [B]0[/B]: HDMI [HDA Intel HDMI], device[B] 3[/B]: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card [B]0[/B]: HDMI [HDA Intel HDMI], device [B]7[/B]: HDMI 1 [HDMI 1]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card[B] 0[/B]: HDMI [HDA Intel HDMI], device [B]8[/B]: HDMI 2 [HDMI 2]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC283 Analog [ALC283 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
Find some wav to play :
find /storage/roms -name *.wav
or get one online
wget "http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/A-codecs/wavpcm/ahh.wav" -O sound.wav
Then try to play some sound with hdmi devices : aplay -D plughw:card_id,device_id
aplay -D plughw:0,3 sound.wav
aplay -D plughw:0,7 sound.wav
aplay -D plughw:0,8 sound.wav
Many thanks !
No sound at all. I’ve tried all possible plughw settings 
Do you know what it means ?
I’m using my graphic card’s HDMI port but my PC also avec an IGP with it’s own HDMI port (which i don’t use) and my mother board has it’s own sound card (that is not used either)
I have this strange message for one setting (it’s the only one that displays this) : Lakka:~ # aplay -D plughw:1,3 sound.wav aplay: main:722: audio open error: Device or resource busy
Here is what I also get : Lakka:~ # cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [HDMI ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI HDMI HDA ATI HDMI at 0xf0060000 irq 29

What is the output of aplay -l and lsmod | grep snd ?
