You want Kodi without sound ? :)
I do NOT support "latest fw" at ALL. If you have one you should block updates on router and wait for it to STOP being "latest":)
If you want me to help you please paste FULL log(s) to "spoiler"/"code" bbcodes or provide link(s) to pasted file(s) on https://pastebin.com Otherwise "NO HELP"!!!
If you want root DISABLE internet access to your device!!!!
DO NOT EVER INSTALL FIRMWARE UPGRADE !!!!

I got info on how to get it working on F. Use E tutorial BUT:
1) Instead of ubuntu use debian jessie
2) Bootstrap debian using this tutorial: https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/ ... 03.html.en
3) If you want other version/distro you need to use: armel eabi

Of course. USB sound cards work. Do NOT EVER expect internal sound card support :)
