Troubleshooting

Hy,
i used xu4 with the latest dietpi. But i dont have sound.

root@DietPi:/etc# aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: OdroidXU4 [Odroid-XU4], device 0: Primary multicodec-0 []
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0




root@DietPi:/etc# cat /etc/asound.conf
pcm.!default {
    type hw
    card 0
    device 0
    #format S16_LE
    #channels 2
    #rate 44100
}

ctl.!default {
    type hw
    card 0
}

The sound test is well played.

root@DietPi:/etc# speaker-test -c2

speaker-test 1.1.3

Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels

That solved for me:

root@DietPi:~# cat /etc/asound.conf
pcm.dmixed {
        type asym
        playback.pcm {
                type dmix
                ipc_key 5678293
                ipc_perm 0660
                ipc_gid audio

                slave {
                        channels 2 # make 6 or 5.1 channel
                        pcm {
                                format S16_LE # S32_LE
                                rate 44100 # can also be 44100
                                type hw
                                card 0 # your card
                                device 0 # your device
                                subdevice 0 #important?
                        }

                        period_size 1024
                        buffer_size 2048
                }

                bindings {
                        0 0
                        1 1
# Uncomment below if using 6 channel
#                       2 2
#                       3 3
#                       4 4
#                       5 5
                }
        }
        capture.pcm "hw:0"
}

pcm.!default {
        type plug
        slave.pcm "dmixed"
}

And is selected in kodi the hdmi fixed.

Hello,

I managed to fix this issue - just changed the boot.ini configuration file: setenv vout_mode “dvi” to setenv vout_mode “hdmi”. I’m not sure though why it was so, It’s weird, because as far as I know, hdmi is a default setting for XU4 boot.ini in DietPi. I found the same question on Odroid forum, but they redirected me here.
