Yep, that works but only for situation when X is running, but i'd prefer to use orangepi in headless mode accessing by ssh.
When i try to speaker-test or launch cmus (terminal music player) from SSH there's no sound. When i plug HDMI and X starts i can hear some slick in speakers. After that sound plays from speakers whether i play it from X virtual terminal or via same ssh. But when i kill X (because i dont need it) i don't hear any sound from speaker-test or music player.
How can it be resolved?

It is a permissions problem.

Your user must be in the audio group to access the audio filesystem object. Normally "orangepi" user is not member of such group, in fact if you run speaker-test from root you should get audio from analog. More than this, as normal user you aren't even able to run alsamixer, because you don't have permissions.

To gain normal user access to audio, just add orangepi user to audio group in /etc/group, then log out and log in.
Nonetheless in my setup audio is quite low in volume when I run audio applications as standard user. It is ok when I run it as root.
