Hi,

All seems correct ... so, please do :
Post here result of commands (use if you prefer to put it directly in message) : command [arg] | tee -a /tmp/out.log ... this show you result and copy result (-a append) in file /tmp/out.log, so you can compress and put the file in the response ... )

Open a terminal as root/your_admin_password
free
myHD_root "vainfo"
myHD_root "ps -eaf"

... now just start kodi in asportal (don't run anything)
free
myHD_root "aplay -L"
myHD_root "ps -fu astr"

... now on Kodi (get screen shot when you are in page ... photo or better install Xvnc_server APKG, start vnc server : vnc_mngt start (and use any vnc client))
go to settings (second button top left)/system/audio/audio output device
TAKE a screenshot
go to settings/player/videos and verify that "allow hardware acceleration" is set

Play a video with a codec supported by your IGP and use "o" to get information on used of hardware acceleration and CPU usage.
Video Encoder must be like (here it's x264) : ff-h264-vaapi (HW) ... if not it's (SW) and software decoder used
ex. on my AS5002T (so old and low compare to your CPU even with 8GB memory) for a video 1920x1090, 24 Fps memory is less than 15% CPU 0 30% to 60% CPU 1 : 30% to 60% but the system is running woth users and syncthing task ...
but if software is used the CPU can be higter or some time at 100% depends of the codec (none with divx but some other plus and plus.

For the sound problem ... stop kodi, enter in myHD as root
myHD_root
then do aplay -l (to get all couple of card number / device number for each HDMI output
connect speaker if it's not done to the HDMI screen
use test to test each HDMI
/myHD_scripts/bin/test_pulse_Intel_config.sh
... this list HDMI playback, select couple to test each and listen for some text entry is like 0,1 for ex. card 0, device 1
... test all device up you get sound.
it's the sound card you must select in kodi to get sound
the pulse audio change is not for asportal but for idesk mode (idesk an asportal replacement)

Which user did you used to connect you to open terminal ? is it root ? (because only root can get control of a namespace).
I have add a switch to be able to run myHD command in any administrators it's not yet the case for myHD_root or myHD_astr command (sorry for the inconvenience)

Not sure it's a problem ...
Kodi change resolution and refresh rate for each movie ... so except for 4K without video acceleration ... I think it can be used even in lower 1920x1080 resolution.

you can use xrandr (from xorg provide by Asustor or in myHD) to see how NAS identify the screen

Is this screen have sound include ?

I still have no sound from the screen

but if I use the app called Plex install from the app center , I can hear the sound

I don't know how to use myHD_root as well as myHD_scripts/bin/test_pulse_Intel_config.sh

but now I'll use my smartphone app called vic to cast the movie file from the NAS to my asus display with a chromecast plugged in.

Finally I can hear the sound on the screen and no lag found any more!

I chose the second device output #1 from the audio of the system setting


device output #1 ==> HDA Intel PCH,GSV GSV2x2 DEMO on HDMI #1

Thanks for returning your result ... I am happy for you, but also for me ... I will be anxious and run lot of test (even without the same hardware) to search ...

Due to the lack of udev ... it's difficult for each series to get the correct choice for output
If in the future, you test Idesk (asportal replacement) ... idesk use pulse audio, so with a reduce enter to select.

Thanks again.
