No audio on Firestick 4K
Re: No audio on Firestick 4K
Attached is the actual log file.
Re: No audio on Firestick 4K
I tested this with that version of mythfrontend on a fire stick 4K. The "test audio output" does not work correctly with AudioTrack. It was not fully implemented. I also saw that error message. However, playback works correctly with audio.
If your audio device was not recognized you should have seen an error message about an invalid audio device and audio being disabled when starting playback.
Does audio work with other applications on the fire stick 4K? For example Prime video or youtube?

Re: No audio on Firestick 4K
Audio works fine with all other apps including Kodi, Netflix, Prime, CW etc. I get no error message on playback of Mythtv recordings using Myth Frontend. Same recordings work fine when played via Kodi.
FYI, On my Amazon Cube the audio test function works correctly, no error message and channel test noise comes out corresponding speaker. Setup for the cube is 5.1 going into a Yamaha RCVR. The F4K is directly into a Samsung TV.

Re: No audio on Firestick 4K
Swapped the F4K to the other Samsung and audio works fine with the new TV. Tried the PI3 connected to the other TV and MythTV FE gives the same issue on the PI3. So there is something about the old Samsung that causes the issue with MythTV FE regardless if it is the PI3 or F4K.
Re: No audio on Firestick 4K
So not sure why audio works for Prime video, Netflix, CW and, even Kodi but not MythTV FE on HDMI1 and HDMI2 on this TV. However switched to HDMI4 and audio works fine with MythTV FE now on both the F4K and the PI3.

Re: No audio on Firestick 4K
Just a thought. On my Samsung UHD TV, it saves audio setting per HDMI input, so you can have one working and one not. I know that I can change from DD to PCM on the TV and Prime might work and Mythtv may not. I don't know why, but that's the settings I play with.
