As you would probably guess correctly this is not enough information
to give any meaningful help. There are many related issues and some of
them have been resolved by fixing the kernel/upgrading ALSA:
https://www.google.hu/search?q=Intel+NUC+hdmi+sound+linux

I assume when you upgraded kodi you also upgraded other packages
and one of them broke HDMI sound.

I'm closing this bug for now since there is not enough information for
triaging, but feel free to reopen it if you would like to try finding the proper
package to fix.

Cheers,
Balint

This sounds like an ALSA/PulseAudio/kernel problem rather than a Kodi one.

Can't do too much when the audio device is not found.

Would you like to share some info about the HW?

Yes, I did. The problem was not at the PusleAudio level, because ALSA
did not find the HDMI audio device either.

Have you checked the suggestions listed here?:

There can be many configuration combinations, thus knowing more
about your setup/audio stream could help in resolving the issue.

Severity: normal

After upgrading from kodi-15 to kodi-16, audio over HDMI stopped working
on my dedicated kodi box.

I spent a *lot* of time debugging this and in the end installed a kodi
specific linux distro (http://wiki.libreelec.tv/) and everything works.
