Audio not working

markwinger · Published in 2015-5-25 20:30:57

I just got my Orange pi plus yesterday and installed ubuntu.  I am trying get audio to work on it but have been unsuccessfull so far.  I am using asla with jack.  Here is an example:
---------------------------------------
orangepi@orangepi:~$ speaker-test -D hw:0,0

speaker-test 1.0.27.2

Playback device is hw:0,0
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
Broken configuration for playback: no configurations available: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Setting of hwparams failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
---------------------------------------

I cannot get any audio to work.  Is audio even enabled in the kernel?

Thanks.  Mark

Audio worked on 3.5 jack on Lubuntu 1404 0.9.0!!
Start alsamixer in console and enable Item: Audio lineout (select 6 item and press there key "m")!!

I cannot even get my usb audio dongle to work.  Here is the aplay -l output:
orangepi@orangepi:~$ aplay -l

speaker-test does the same thing.
orangepi@orangepi:~$ speaker-test -d hw:2,0

speaker-test 1.0.27.2

Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
Broken configuration for playback: no configurations available: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Setting of hwparams failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device

I have this working on all other fruits (raspberry pi b+ rev 2, banana pro), but not on an orange.

I was not aware of this command, found at http://www.alsa-project.org/main ... ix:Module-usb-audio
--------------------------
Most modern distros come with soundcore compiled as a module. You can check this in numerous ways. The easiest way is to type:

   modinfo soundcore

If this command returns that you have this module, then you don't need to recompile your kernel.
-----------------------------
when I run it I get this:
-----------------------------
orangepi@orangepi:~$  modinfo soundcore
libkmod: ERROR ../libkmod/libkmod.c:507 kmod_lookup_alias_from_builtin_file: could not open builtin file '/lib/modules/3.4.39/modules.builtin.bin'
modinfo: ERROR: Module soundcore not found.
------------------------------

Do I need to rebuild the kernel myself?  (I would prefer not to as my past experiences for other 'fruit' has been long and painful)
It seems to me that this should be included by default.

wolftronics.

I have a banana-pro running ubuntu. I can confirm that the internal audio does not work. (Igorpec said there is no driver available yet). But the usb audio does work, but I had to build a kernel with it enabled.

No ...

According to Igorpec, the audio uses dma but drivers to support that are not ready.

Note: for the banana. Don't know if the Orange is the same issue.
