HDMI output
#1
I might have missed this somewhere but is there a way to set the audio output to HDMI?  Can't seem to find anything obvious in the options/config.

Thanks!

In MPD config set Audio output to "On-board audio device" then APPLY.

This setting covers both the 3.5mm audio port and the HDMI port. Also make sure that HDMI port is set to on in System config.

Thanks. I've got HDMI selected on the System config but I don't have any options for the Audio Device on the MPD config, the drop-down is blank...

It should have at least "On-board audio device".

Post output from commands below and I'll have a look

aplay -l
cat /var/log/moode.log

Yeah, I didn't think 'no soundcards found' was good!

I'll try and rebuild the image.  Thanks for your help.

Thanks. I've got HDMI selected on the System config but I don't have any options for the Audio Device on the MPD config, the drop-down is blank...

You need to click on the Edit MPD button and audio output is first option.
I found this easy enough but it took me half an hour to work out I had no output because volume was set at 0. doh!

Thanks for the tip on "Edit MPD"
