Hi, ALL!
Have anybody success story with an Armbian and Kodi?
With Armbains 5.05...5.10 I installed (apt-get update ; apt-get install kodi) kodi 15.2 from this repository:
Quote
# kodi repos
# starting with debian jessie, debian provides kodi via its backports repository
# remember: those packages are not supported by team kodi
deb http://http.debian.net/debianjessie-backports main
as described here and allways (in all Armbian releases) has a problems with a sound: sound level very low ans high level noise starting even no video - beginning while kodi GUI started (permanent noise in menus). Film sound also exists while film started playing, but sound level near noise level and very low both (btw, kodi volume regulator not working, only mute mode working in kodi). I watched AC3, MP3, AAC sound coded films - effects are the same: noise with low volume soundtrack. All sound codecs are exists.
Interesting fact: "from_the_box" aplications sound are OK (but they are uncomfortable), problem with a Kody only.
If exists working howto about Armbian and Kodi - please share it.

If i understand right, your problem is selecting audio output on system level? You need to install alsamixergui to manipulate this easy, but GUI is useless, you can only change volume level. So execute it from terminal and there you can choose HDMI as default audio output. Other way is to install pulse, along with pavucontrol and you will have nice GUI to manipulate pulse, default output.
Armbian desktop v5.05 which I used have alsa with GUI and "audiocodec" (3.5 analog output) device as default "from_the_box". First was no sound at all (because I use HDMI), then I switched default output to "sndhdmi" with alsa GUI, and sound become normal in some "from_the_box" applications (like in-browser youtube plugin), but it is ugly (low level and noisy) in kodi which I added later form standard debian repository. And hatahata have a similar problem with his other additional application, as I mentioned.

I will see if I can reproduce you sound issues on my OPi H3, this evening and see if I get the same thing
Did you success with reproducing of the Kodi sound issue?

How to see which codecs are installed? And how to add them?
I installed ffmpeg and avconv. avconv show all available codecs are allready installed. So, it is not a codecs problem but something with entire sound subsystem.
Ofcourse, after I experimented with kodi and system sound settings and sound sources (from GUI menus - kodi and alsamixer) - no results, issue the same (except no sound if wrong sound device selected - no sound as far as no noise if selected not a sndhdmi: because I use HDMI).

Well, what really nobody ran the Kodi under latest Armbian 5.05 desktop on OrangePI ???

The same behavior with kodi 15.2 (from standard repo): video exists, but only noise from sndhdmi, but youtube is OK.
Did you solved a problem?

Well, Openelec is a second SD-card way (such as EmulatonStation for games). Put it one card (for film), put in second (for Inet), next put in first again (a film), put ... oh god... my sd slot is over.
Also, 2..3 partitions (I tested multyboot too) way is a recombination of ugly above solution - I want not to reboot every time then I need open .doc or watch film/TV or Inet browsing or etc. I will fight for a single common solution. Lazy fight
