Nanopi Neo: Audio not working

Troubleshooting
#1

Hi,
I tried to make the audio interface running on a nanopi neo with dietpi 142 but failed. You can select “default HDMI” or “H3-analogue” in dietpi-config but after rebooting no interface is present. An USB soundcard is working fine. Any hints?

root@nanopi:~# aplay -l
aplay: device_list:268: keine Soundkarten gefunden ...

dmesg | grep -i audio

Onboard audio is not currently supported in the 4.9 kernel. It is available in 4.10.
As we used ARMbian to build the initial image/kernel, we need to wait for them to switch to 4.10. Then we can re-create image.
