    ← If you sent a “dietpi-bugreport”, please paste the ID here →
  • Bug report ID | echo $G_HW_UUID

Steps to reproduce

  1. Plug in a 3.5mm headphone or a PC speaker
  2. Tried playing audio from the PI using Raspotify or from a web browser

Expected behaviour

  • Does not play any sound, the port does not show in the list only HDMI

Actual behaviour

  • No Audio output, connecting to raspotify on my phone does not seem to work properly. It tries to connect but somehow it feels buggy.

Extra details

  • found out its working using a diff OS (Raspberry Pi OS), but not on DietOS
