[SOLVED] "Output is set to HDMI but no audio device was detected on the HDMI port."

Hmmm. Your log includes the entry

Code:

20250316 010815 worker: Cards:  0:vc4hdmi         1:empty           2:empty           3:empty          
20250316 010815 worker:         4:empty           5:empty           6:empty           7:empty

e.g., only the HDMI interface is detected as an audio device.

Here's the same entry from one of my players with a USB Creative Tech BT-W2 adapter which presents as an audio device,

Code:

20250314 150313 worker: Cards:  0:W2              1:vc4hdmi0        2:vc4hdmi1        3:empty           
20250314 150313 worker:         4:empty           5:empty           6:empty           7:empty

This happens to be an RPi 5B so two HDMI interfaces are found in addition to the Creative Tech USB audio device.


To address Tim's point, how about you also run the following command from the terminal of your player

Code:

lsusb

Here's what I get from mine, showing the Creative Tech USB adapter is detected.

Code:

rho@moodey:~ $ lsusb
