This article describes how to enable hdmi audio on the X650

1. Firstly, you need to start the X650 and enter the terminal window of pikvm's web UI.

2. Need to switch root user

su root

Then type the password, (the default password is root also);

3. Switch to writable state

rw

4. Edit /boot/config.txt, and add the following comment to the end of file;

dtoverlay=tc358743-audio

5. Update the OS:

rw
pacman -Syu

6. Edit /etc/kvmd/janus/janus.plugin.ustreamer.jcfg and add the following lines at the end:

audio: {
    device = "hw:0,0"
    tc358743 = "/dev/kvmd-video"
}

7. Enable the basic audio in the EDID:

kvmd-edidconf --set-audio=yes

8. Reboot the device:

reboot

9. Your host will detect the possibility of audio output via HDMI. Mac OS usually connects automatically, Windows requires manual indication, Linux will require a ritual shamanic dance. In any case, make sure that the audio is output via HDMI on your host. PiKVM supports stereo mode with any standard bits and frequencies like 32/44.1/48 kHz with 16/24 bit.


10. Open the PiKVM Web UI. Click the System menu and switch the video mode to H.264 / WebRTC. After that, the volume slider will appear under the switch. Increase it to the maximum and have fun.
