Audio over HDMI not working on Raspberry Pi 4B

Hi,
I’m trying to play music from Volumio on a soundbar with HDMI ARC Input. When I set the output from Audio Jack to HDMI on the GUI, nothing seems to change. Volumio is still playing over the Audio Jack while HDMI is silent. Updating to the latest version didn’t help. Would be grateful for any clues.

Hi,
i have a similar issue.
Tried to connect my Raspberry Pi to my Lyngdorf Amp over HDMI but it does not work.
Guess, the Raspberry simply has no HDMI ARC Output.
If anyone knows better, please let us know :slight_smile:
Best regards

I just built raspberry pi 4 with latest voluminous. Couldn’t get any sound over hdmi into the HDMI input of my onkyo amp.
Switched the hdmi cable to the HDMI input on my Sony bravia TV.
Again, no sound (I thought).
Normal TV listening volume is about 12-14. I found that I WAS getting audio over this connection from the pi, but I had to turn the volume setting on the TV to over 90 to hear anything.
So it looks like it does work, but output level is ridiculously low
