Yesterday I installed MoOde for the first time on my RPi 4. So far so good. Then I tried to pair it with my soundbar Sony HT-SF150. And then problems started. Actually, I have just one issue with this soundbar - there is no sound at all. I have connected RPi to it via HDMI. It looks like the soundbar somehow does not like the audio format (it supports only PCM and Dolby Digital). So to confirm that I tried to connect RPi to my TV keeping the soundbar connected to the TV...and it worked. Once I connect the soundbar directly to the RPi I have no sound.
So I tried different settings:
1. Switching to DSD over PCM
2. Setting different parameters in /boot/config.txt
But the result is more or less the same. Here is the result of aplay -l:
Code:**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****

One more thing - honestly I'm not sure which port actually it HDMI 1. Based on the RPi we have two ports - 0 and 1, where zero is the one which is closed to the USB-C port. I have sound only from that port, even if it is shown as HDMI 1 in ALSA.
Any help will be appreciated.
ALSA card 0 is HDMI 1 which is the port marked 0 on the PCB. Its closest to the USB-C power port.
HDMI audio can be tricky to debug when it's not working. I haven't done much testing with HDMI so hopefully others that have some experience can help out.
