I can’t seem to get audio to work. Where could I be going wrong?

2

Have you tried with Rasplex, just to see if that works? I haven’t had any audio over hdmi issues with Rasplex at all.

3

I did try with RasPlex and same issue

4

It seems to me that if OpenPHT running on two different pieces of hardware will not produce sound over HDMI, it’s not the software.

Try a different HDMI cable and/or a different HDMI playback device.

5

Sorry for taking so long to reply.

I haven’t used more than one hdmi cable but the device does work on my other television. Could be an issue with the TV though. Any thought on how I would get an older LCD to support HDMI audio passthrough?

Take a look at @NedtheNerd’s sound setup guide. the tvservice -a command is intended to show what your TV or receiver is telling the PI it supports over HDMI.
