Does Caldera Headless Support HDMI Audio Output?

Apologies if this is documented somewhere, searched and couldn’t find it.

Does Caldera Headless support audio output via HDMI?

I’ve got a Pi Zero 2 W and want to try out Caldera but don’t want to buy a DAC for it.

caldera usually shows a couple options during initial setup for how to connect to an audio device

for hdmi on a pi, the direct hw interface hw:CARD=x,DEV=y will not work

instead, you can try the plughw:CARD=x,DEV=y option

or (better) you can manually set it to hdmi:CARD=x,DEV=y by using a command like the following …

~/caldera-music/caldera-music --set audio.outputDeviceUid=hdmi:CARD=x,DEV=y
