Dietpi Pine64 no sound (hdmi/headphone jack)

Troubleshooting
1

I’m a relative noob to linux although i have dabbled. I have searched for a solution but cannot find one so sorry if this is a duplicate post.

Dietpi Pine64
I have no audio from either the hdmi nor the headphone jack. I did have audio when i tried debian (from the pine64 website) but the debian release is quite slow on pine64 and youtube is choppy so i cannot use it. I also tried some other linux distros and sound worked but again was slow.

I have the latest alsa-utils and can access the mixer. am i missing audio codecs/drivers?

Please let me know what other information i can provide to get this sorted.

Hi,

Many thanks for the report.

Confirmed unable to achieve headphone output with device. I’ve created a ticket and will investigate:
