I built a debian edge image and yes the overlays are not where they used to be. Armbian-config does not even have a hardware option to work on the overlays. I suspect that work on armbian-config is causing changes that have not yet been fully completed. If you need to use overlays, I suggest that you stick with the current releases where overlays still work through armbian-config.

I assume you have built an edge image with a 6.10.9 kernel. Is it debian or ubuntu? I will try to replicate such a build.

@SteeMan Unfortunately there is a statement on the downloads page that says sound is not working. This needs to be removed but I don't know how to do it.

@mc510 It confuses me too, but I can get sound out of the correct channels by unmuting only Left Output Mixer DACL and Right Output Mixer DACR. If you leave these muted and unmute Left Output Mixer DACR and Right Output Mixer DACL the channels are reversed. If you unmute all four you get left+right in both channels. I do not know what the LINEOUT muxs are for.

@TRay Try connecting to the serial port and watch the output while powering up without the SD card. This will tell you what boot options are available.

@going Cut the log file by taking out all the kernel build log entries. https://paste.armbian.com/ibamekatak

@ColorfulRhino No, it says "something went wrong" when I try to save. The files are over 2MB long.

@going I compiled with your test script for legacy orangepione. There was no image produced. The curl command to upload the log file did not work and uploading the log file to this message also failed. I did pull the attached patches section from the log file. Can I email the files to you directly? build_log_patches.txt

I did manage to build a minimal legacy image (24.8.0-trunk, sunxi-legacy:6.1.94) from the current Armbian build system and it gets stuck at the "Starting kernel" message. putty.txt

I just tried to build a legacy image for orangepione and it fails. I'll try again later. https://paste.armbian.com/ijiyegidak [🚸] Command failed, retrying in 15s [ apt_find_upstream_package_version_and_download_url base-files ] curl: (28) Operation timed out after 10306 milliseconds with 0 bytes received

@sakesm Thank you for testing and for the update. At least there are workarounds, although I really don't like things that do not work properly.

The community images from June 7 have analog and HDMI sound. The analog sound needs to be unmuted which can be done with alsamixer.

The sound patches have now been implemented in Armbian current and edge. The community images for orangepizero3 are only updated once a week. So either wait for a new image or build one yourself from Armbian build on github.

Thank you for your testing and update.

@bryan_bennett Thank you for testing and for your comments. I am starting to work on putting together a pr for Armbian. It might take a while. There is a problem with analog audio on Pulseaudio. It seems that if you open the Pulseaudio volume control, the analog audio starts to play at a higher speed. This does not happen with HDMI audio. It also does not happen if one controls audio with the app audio controls, eg + - on mpg123.

@ER Samson I'm sorry to hear that you are still having problems. However as I mentioned to @Joko Christian, the applications you are running are not Debian or Armbian supported. I would recommend you try support from the individual software suppliers.

@Joko Christian I am not sure that mixing versions of firmware and kernel versions is advisable. I took note from @ER Samson that when he removed cloudfare and replaced it with an equivalent package, the problems went away. I am not able to do much with your issue as cloudfare is not part of Armbian, nor of debian for that matter. I would recommend you try the most recent current Armbian package and the latest release of cloudfare. Try to run without making changes to the firmware unless you need extra drivers for hardware that is not supported by the Armbian system as built.

@Joko Christian I can't find any archive for armbian-firmware. It might be built right into the image. Have you tried to install an older image? Have you looked at @ER Samson post above. He seems to be running the same PIHole and has some work arounds. Have you looked at top to see what is running to cause a hot cpu?

@sakesm Thank you for the update. I don't have a lot of experience with audio either. Usually it just works. With mpg123 you can adjust volume with the + and - keys, which I think do not cause any problems.

@sakesm Yes i came across that also. Can you confirm that it only happens on analog audio and not on HDMI and when using pulseaudio. I also tested with mpg123 and did not have problems using the mpg123 built in volume controls.

@Joko Christian For the archive, go to the image download page for the orangepione and look at the line just below the image icons. It would be very useful to know how your system is failing. Could you describe what is running on the machine at the time it fails? Please provide output of: sudo armbianmonitor -u

@sasa I tested with your patch and it gets rid of the error but also creates a new sound device. ahubdam, that has no input or output. I then just took the device creation out of the dtb and then there is no error even without the patch. Analog and HDMI audio still work. This is the piece removed from the dtb. ahub_dam_mach { compatible = "allwinner,sunxi-snd-mach"; soundcard-mach,name = "ahubdam"; status = "okay"; phandle = <0x3f>; soundcard-mach,cpu { sound-dai = <0x0e>; }; soundcard-mach,codec { }; };

@SUPA The warpme patches need work to implement into Armbian. That is what I have been trying to do. When and if we get it right, they should be included into the Armbian system. In the meantime clone my repository, which has the patches implemented, and build your flavour of system from there. cd ~/ git clone https://github.com/stephengraf/armbian_build_sg.git cd armbian_build_sg ./compile.sh The HDMI sound should work immediately. The analog needs to be enabled as @sasa suggested: /usr/bin/amixer -c 0 set 'Left Output Mixer DACL' 100% unmute /usr/bin/amixer -c 0 set 'Left Output Mixer DACR' 100% unmute /usr/bin/amixer -c 0 set 'Right Output Mixer DACL' 100% unmute /usr/bin/amixer -c 0 set 'Right Output Mixer DACR' 100% unmute

@sasa Many thanks for pointing out that analog sound just has to be enabled! I just tested and it works. I was dreading trying to debug kernel code when I should have been looking at the fundamental "is it turned on?" I will try the patch to remove the other sound error. As to automatic detection, yes on my orangepizero3 with H618 Allwinner SOC, HDMI detects the monitor and sets the proper resolution.

@SUPAThere is a lot more to building a system than just the kernel. That is what Armbian tries to do for you. I recommend that you use the Armbian build system. You should be able to build the system that you want. The audio patches do include analog audio, but to date there is still a problem and it does not start up. The armbian-config procedure has options to load kernel headers and also source.
