HDMI sound only, never on jack (default rpi audio output)

I don't know if this is somehow related to #217 but for some reason I can't make audio output through jack on my RPi3 with latest OSMC installed. Only HDMI works.

I've tried running with --device hw:0 without success.

After some reading around, I've tried checking my output devices with aplay -L having the following output:

osmc@osmc:~/.kodi$ aplay -L
null
    Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)
default:CARD=ALSA
    bcm2835 ALSA, bcm2835 ALSA
    Default Audio Device
sysdefault:CARD=ALSA
    bcm2835 ALSA, bcm2835 ALSA
    Default Audio Device
dmix:CARD=ALSA,DEV=0
    bcm2835 ALSA, bcm2835 ALSA
    Direct sample mixing device
dmix:CARD=ALSA,DEV=1

    Direct sample mixing device
dsnoop:CARD=ALSA,DEV=0
    bcm2835 ALSA, bcm2835 ALSA
    Direct sample snooping device
dsnoop:CARD=ALSA,DEV=1
    bcm2835 ALSA, bcm2835 IEC958/HDMI
    Direct sample snooping device
hw:CARD=ALSA,DEV=0
    bcm2835 ALSA, bcm2835 ALSA
    Direct hardware device without any conversions
hw:CARD=ALSA,DEV=1
    bcm2835 ALSA, bcm2835 IEC958/HDMI
    Direct hardware device without any conversions
plughw:CARD=ALSA,DEV=0
    bcm2835 ALSA, bcm2835 ALSA
    Hardware device with all software conversions
plughw:CARD=ALSA,DEV=1
    bcm2835 ALSA, bcm2835 IEC958/HDMI
    Hardware device with all software conversions

From this I've already tried a bunch of different configurations where the --device parameter will contain any of the names present in this list. I still can't make the sound output go through Jack.

How can I achieve this? It's really important to me to keep the TV off while playing music so I don't want to rely on HDMI for audio output as I have a set of speaker only for this.

Have you tried the following command:
amixer cset numid=3 0

Hello @awiouy , Yes I have, I still only get HDMI sound :(

I'm using OSMC and I really don't see a way I can get the audio through the default jack to work unfortunately..

Hi,

had the same problem ... for me the in the Raspberry Pi documentation referenced commands worked ... see my comment in dtcooper/raspotify#22.

@CelsoSantos Do you still get this issue?

[CelsoSantos]

Hello, to be really honest I can't remember but I think I did though I can't recall how. However the plugins seems to have stopped working meanwhile and I haven't tested back yet since as I've been flooded with work and school. I can recheck but that will take me a while to have the time to do it. Best Regards.

If you could re check that would be great! Ill leave this open for now.

@CelsoSantos have you had a chance to try it out?

This works for my Rpi2 running OSMC.
