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

[greg_m]

Hi,

I've just found out a few days ago, that there is a v9 released.
Backed up my settings and custom radio stations from my v8 player.
Upgraded to v9.0.8, restored my backup. All seems good, but when trying to play anything, I got a message:
"Output is set to HDMI but no audio device was detected on the HDMI port."

I use RPI4 and 3.5mm audio jack.

Searched the forum and found only one thread, but that was using a custom audio HAT (Boss 2).

Using all the same as in moode v8. No hardware change.

I remember in v8 when I logged in via ssh it was showing:
Audio: Pi HDMI 1
Now show the same, but in Audio Output settings the default on is 1: Pi HDMI 2.

I also have 0: Pi HDMI 1 on the list (and other slots are empty), but when switching to 0: Pi HDMI 1 is automatically switches back to 1: Pi HDMI 2.

I normally have Display off as I use it only in the web mode. I though maybe this is the problem (display is HDMI I presume), but switching it on and restarting gives the same issue.


Any advise how to configure it to make it work with a standard RPI4 audio jack output?



Below is the output of the moodeutl -l command.

EDIT:
[SOLVED]
Changed Settings > System > Startup Options > Integrated audio from Kernel mode (default) to Firmware mode (Legacy).
Now Headphone jack appeared on the available output list. Selected it and all works fine.

You can thank the Bookworm release of Raspberry Pi OS for this change in behaviour. On the one hand, it accommodates the intricacies of the new RPi 5 hardware; on the other hand, it's required some interesting changes in moOde.

I don't know how good the audio is from the 3.5mm jack these days. Long ago, I bought an inexpensive USB-3.5mm audio converter to use with the original RPi 1. Don't have any RPi 1s around any more but it's still useful since the RPi 5 doesn't have a 3.5mm jack on board.

Different strokes for different folks.
