Hi,
I have been building and installing Kodi 21.01 successfully on my NankPC-T6, using the default Pipewire-sound.
It’s running fine both on Wayland- as well as GBM-mode which I prefer due to better GPU-support. I can switch at login using either selecting a Ubuntu (Wayland) or a Kodi-GBM session.
Due to other installed programs I would like to run Ubuntu in Wayland-mode, and switch over the GBM when I start KODI via my phone remote CTL YATSE, and back to Wayland afterwards.
I am aware that GBM does not work with a graphical environment, so I try to switch to a non-graphical environment first, by using ‘ sudo –user=root systemctl stop gdm3’ or ‘sudo –user=root systemctl isolate multi-user.target’.
Both commands switch over to terminal-mode, I can start Kodi, I get a proper screen with ‘windowing = gbm’ but either ‘no sound-device found’, or ‘realtec sound and rockchip-hdmi0’-sound.
Rockchip-hdmi0 sound works, but the audio-channels are mixed up, and very likely Passthrough will never work.
How can I get Pipewire running in this setup?
I tried restarting pipewire, pipewire-pulse …, but nothing helps.
KODI-log shows me:

Too bad my Ubuntu / LINUX knowledge is insufficient to find a solution.
Any help is highly appreciated!
Thank you!
