Snakeoil OS - is 7.1 multichannel HDMI audio supported

[soil_1]

If you can do this in Windows HQPlayer4, in theory you should be able to do the same with the Linux version.

But obviously you'll need to use a HDMI  or digital out to get that. This is not something I have tried before myself though.

Thanks, yes I have the mini HDMI cable for RPi4 to Denon AVR 4308

But Ubuntu on the RPi4 just results in stereo sound.

Did you check out the moode audio forum message above about the custom kernel with "bcm2835 driver was built with 8 channel and 24/32 bit support" required to get it working on an RPi4?

They say this is something picoreplayer has working but moode audio / dietpi / volumio do not

Is this something you can do too?

While I mentioned HQPlayer, this is not a HQP specific issue.

Everyone having issues with HDMI multichannel with RPi and Linux in general is having issues with Roon and UPnP etc too
