I am talking about hdmi audio. Analog audio works fine on both kernels. HDMI-Audio doesn't work in 6.16.8 kernel. I'll keep using v25.11.0-trunk.190 with kernel 6.15.4 for now since HDMI works there. I might experiment with those configs later, or perhaps it will get fixed in a future version. Thanks.

these modules/configs are missing in 6.16.8 (vs 6.15.4): CONFIG_SND_SUN9I_HDMI_AUDIO=y CONFIG_SND_SOC_SUNXI_MACH=m CONFIG_SND_SOC_SUNXI_AHUB=m CONFIG_SND_SOC_SUNXI_AHUB_DAM=m CONFIG_SND_SOC_SUNXI_INTERNALCODEC=m CONFIG_SND_SOC_SUNXI_AAUDIO=m Could this be a problem?

go armbian-config - Wait warning message "The current OS (bookworm) is not a officially supported distro!" - Kernel - KER001 Use alternative kernels - Would you like to continue? <Yes> - Show only mainstream kernels on the list? <No> And there the list: then choose "linux-image-edge-sunxi64=25.8.1 v6.15.4 " mainstream kernels: linux-image-current-sunxi64/bookworm 25.8.2 arm64 Armbian Linux current kernel image 6.12.47-current-sunxi64 linux-image-edge-sunxi64/now 26.02.0-trunk arm64 [installed,local] Armbian Linux edge kernel image 6.16.8-edge-sunxi64 linux-image-legacy-sunxi64/bookworm 25.8.2 arm64 Armbian Linux legacy kernel image 6.6.75-legacy-sunxi64 6.16.8: 6.15.4: In the working kernel 6.15.4, the following audio-related modules are loaded: snd_soc_sunxi_machine, snd_soc_sunxi_ahub, snd_soc_sunxi_ahub_dam In the broken kernel 6.16.8, these three modules are completely missing. Only the generic snd_soc_hdmi_codec is present, but it doesn't seem to bind to the hardware correctly without the sunxi-specific modules. I don't know how, but there the list in 6.16.8: tried to activate all dtbs in armbian-config - DTO001 - Manage device tree overlays noghing happend

hdmi audio doesn't work with the latest linux kernel 6.16.8 (edge). OS: Armbian Bookworm, latest build (v26.2.0-trunk.32). revert to 6.15.4 helps. Test Output (aplay -l): Kernel 6.16.8 (BROKEN): card 0: Codec [H616 Audio Codec], device 0: CDC PCM Codec-0 [CDC PCM Codec-0] Kernel 6.15.4 (WORKING): card 0: Codec [H616 Audio Codec], device 0: CDC PCM Codec-0 [CDC PCM Codec-0] card 1: HDMI [HDMI], device 0: ahub_plat-i2s-hifi i2s-hifi-0 [ahub_plat-i2s-hifi i2s-hifi-0] P.S. I am using the edge kernel branch because support for the analog audio jack on H616/H618 requires kernel 6.13 or newer. Currently, kernel 6.15.4 is the latest working version that provides both analog and HDMI audio.

you need linux kernel >=6.13 (you can use edge kernel)
