Analogue audio output gone with v136/JustBoom [SOLVED]

[Fourdee]

Analogue audio works for me too, but alsamixer still gives that error. :shock:

Yep, think we did a little whoopsie for v136.

edit /etc/asound.conf and change ctrl.!default to ctl.!default. Save changes, alsamixer should now fire up.

Same here with alsamixer not starting on 137.
My /etc/asound.conf already is ctl'ed:

pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
device 0
}
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 0
device 0
}

OrangePi PC? Any chance you can run aplay -l and paste results?

[fhals]

Yes, mine is an OrangePi PC.

This is the result of aplay -l:

Yep, it seems to do that with all PCM52xx chips (possibly at kernel level). The following boards all fail to load alsamixer:
- Allo Piano DAC
- JustBoom DAC HAT
- Odroid Hifi Shield 2

Although, amixer appears to work, so you can tweak options with that:

Code: Select all

amixer -c 0 scontrols

I see. Just wanted to make it clear that this is happening on my "naked" Orange Pi PC with no HATs or any other add-on boards.
Not sure if it's related, but I think it should be investigated.

I'm getting this problem on a Raspberry Pi 3, and DietPi 141, where the audio keeps defaulting to HDMI, when I actually want it to go to analog 3.5mm.

My aplay -l output gives me:

Code: Select all

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: ALSA [bcm2835 ALSA], device 0: bcm2835 ALSA [bcm2835 ALSA]
  Subdevices: 8/8
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
  Subdevice #1: subdevice #1
  Subdevice #2: subdevice #2
  Subdevice #3: subdevice #3
  Subdevice #4: subdevice #4
  Subdevice #5: subdevice #5
  Subdevice #6: subdevice #6
  Subdevice #7: subdevice #7
card 0: ALSA [bcm2835 ALSA], device 1: bcm2835 ALSA [bcm2835 IEC958/HDMI]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

And so my /etc/asound.conf file becomes, to the best of my ability:

Code: Select all

pcm.!default {
    type hw
    card 0
    device 0
}
ctl.!default {
    type hw
    card 0
    device 0
}

but this doesn't seem to solve the problem. Not sure where to go from here.

Hi,

The RPi will default to HDMI if its plugged in, else, 3.5mm analogue is used.

There was a command we could use previously to manually override that, but was removed as it no longer had any effect.

I'll create a ticket and see if we can find a new solution: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/704

If I use

Code: Select all

amixer -c 0 cset numid=3 1

followed by

Code: Select all

speaker-test

I get sound come out of my 3.5mm. So that's a good start.

Thanks Verm,

I'd imagine this needs to be applied during boot, so we'll create a service for this to be applied, when enabled.
