Hi, I used qmediaplayer (pyqt5) to play video and audiofiles on the raspberry pi 4. This works perfectly if the sound goes through the HDMI port. But for this particular project I'm doing the sound has to come from the analog jack. Is this possible and does anyone have a solution for this?

Hi, I had the same problem. I just tried this command and it "works": sudo apt install gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio

I hope that works for you.

Thanks a lot, works indeed. Because I had not found the solution i used a hardware workaround for the problem (a hdmi splitter audio extractor)
