So I need to set the sound chain around my TV properly - and it’s a tricky one:
I want to run music and games from my RASPBERRY PI 4, connected to a USB SOUND CARD. The main audio out is the SOUNDBAR attached to the TV.
The TV is being used basically as a monitor, there’s no cable and I want to keep it this way. I need it as a video out for my Pi 4 and as a movie player (from a USB drive).
The problem is, if I connect a USB drive directly to the TV to watch a movie, I’m bypassing the USB sound card, which is attached to a Pi 4 earlier in the chain. How to make it work? Can I use a USB sound card as both main audio outputs for the Pi 4 and TV?
Please keep in mind that I still want the sound to reach me via the soundbar. So:
Raspberry Pi4/USB Sound Card > TV > Soundbar
or:
Help!
