My Droidbox No sound

[crapwizard]

I feel exhausted from my first few days with a Droidbox. It's been a test trying to work out how this Kodi thing works but last night I finally got my head round loading some add ons but now there's no sound. I'm gutted.

I've gone through video posts, forum posts, re-booted, changed the HDMI cable for a new one, made sure that Digital Audio Auto Detect is enabled. (PCM)

I can hear system sounds (the little clicks) but nothing when I stream content. I'm now hours into trying to solve this so thought I'd ask the experts.

I'm on a Philips TV. (UVSH V320B1) and the TV and VHS/DVD has sound, just not the Droidbox/Kodi. Any help would be really appreciated.

Can you check one of the android apps e.g. youtube and report back.

 

[crapwizard]

Youtube works fine. Great sound.

Audio and Subtitle settings are:

 

[Nigelar]

Ok try turning up the second volume setting

 

[crapwizard]

Still nothing sadly, even with that second volume setting to 60 dB

Finally worked it out. Phew. The screen calibration is out on my TV, so when you hit the AUDIO button on the standard box remote, it's off the screen at the top. Still not figured out how to line up the screen.

Btw digital audio auto detect is OFF in my android settings.

You can adjust the screen display zoom level for everything in the main android home screen settings.
If it is just kodi you need to adjust, play a stream then click on the film icon. There are zoom options there. Adjust then set as default. Try the general android options first.

Thanks so much again Nigelar. I called myself crapwizard for a reason.

If the screen isn't lining up, I'd go to Android's Settings (two cogs)>Display>Screen Resolution>Turn off auto-detect and try 1080 at 60Hz. Some TVs report that 720 is the best mode to be used, even if they are 1080. In terms of support calls etc making sure the right resolution is being used has been the solution.
Is the audio OK now?

I don't understand why, when you state you are connected via a HDMI cable, you then made sure PCM is detected on auto Detection. You should therefore select the HDMI setting to ensure the sound is via the HDMI cable with auto detection off.

I think he says he has fixed it @Eddyad.
He couldn't see the on screen volume control as his screen was zoomed out.
