Hi,
Since I updated to v17 my apps are giving me alsa errors and it doesn’t look like i have a sound card anymore.
Also, boot up shows audio isn’t initializing.
I’ve re-run the sound config & made sure Alsa was installed via the software installer.
Same with apt-get.
root@DietPi:~# aplay -l
aplay: device_list:268: no soundcards found…
cat /etc/asound.conf
cat: /etc/asound.conf: No such file or directory
root@DietPi:~# cat /DietPi/config.txt | grep ‘dtoverlay’
dtoverlay=rpi-bcm2835

got it.
searched for the “no soundcard…” message aplay gave me and found if I added:
dtparam=audio=on to /boot/config.txt and rebooted everything worked.
I’ve not seen “dtparam=audio=on” option before, must be a new one. There’s so many undocumented options that can be used in config.txt, wish the RPi guys would list them “all”.
Thanks for letting us know
If you have some spare time, could you run the following and paste result for me please:
uname -a
I just want to see if a recent kernel update has caused this on the RPi. Will also see if i can replicate this on my RPi 2.
