Please read:

 

Of all TV Boxes allwinner based ones have the least support by the community.

Where did you download from?  What was the name of the file you downloaded?

From here:

https://users.armbian.com/balbes150/aw-h6-tv/Armbian_21.11.0-trunk_Aw-h6-tv_bullseye_current_5.10.68.img.xz

If you look in the directory you downloaded from (https://users.armbian.com/balbes150/aw-h6-tv/) you will find there is also a bullseye desktop build there.  

 

The developer that was working on these builds is no longer working with TV boxes, thus these builds are the last and now over a year old.  So there are no security updates for the linux kernel, it is what it is.

Oh!! i dont saw the desktop version! well. Now i download what you recommend. the xfce version.

But... the sound is not working, i see the "animation" of sound, when i reproduce the test video, or a youtube video... like if it is the sound is working, but i cant hear nothing.

 

it seems that this the soundcard:

panchines@aw-h6-tv:~$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: allwinnerhdmi [allwinner-hdmi], device 0: 5091000.i2s-i2s-hifi i2s-hifi-0 [5091000.i2s-i2s-hifi i2s-hifi-0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

 

oh....... now i see is like HDMI... But, i dont use hdmi, i use the 3,5mm connector of the audio.

 

Actually if this cant work like that, can i send all the audio to a upnp server? because that is what i really want, with "all the audio", i mean ALL. Not files, for example if something is sounding in firefox send that to the upnp server.

 

Thanks.
