Let's divide it into parts

 

 

- Bluetooth

Bluetooth isn't working. I've tried activating UART7 and GPIO pins 19 and 22, but to no avail.
I installed the drivers, but to no avail.
Bluetooth isn't communicating!

 

- Audio ES8388

For some unknown reason, the ES8388 has audio disabled by default on the ASA.
To fix this, simply go to the terminal and run the command
user@user alsamixer
Then use the buttons to move around until you find OUT1.
Out1 above it says MM (mute), so click M to make it 00 with a green background.

 

Audio problem solved

 

- Language

I can't set the language to Portuguese in the Gnome interface even after installing the packages manually and through armbiam-config

 

- Kernel

Please, even if kernel 6.1.xx++ does not work, use the latest functional kernel, for me kernel 6.1.115 is very functional. No critical problems.

Providing logs with 

armbianmonitor -u

 helps with troubleshooting and significantly raises chances that issue gets addressed.

Thank you for your report, @DanflashX

 

So, your audio is working out of the box and the change in https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/8568 is not necessary for the Opi 5 Pro?

When you do first login, you need to choose correct locales combination and language in desktop should follow - you still need to install desktop packages ... If you don't have locales support in the system, you won't be able to use it in desktop. I think this is the problem. In my case, when I select my own locales (sl_SI.UTF-8) and install those desktop related packages, I have Gnome with Slovene support.

In the case of the Orange PI 5 Pro, just remove OUT1 from mute mode and the ES8388 will work fine!
By default, OUT1 is in MM (mute).

When I first start it up, I get an error! Even if I install the packages manually, the GNOMRlE interface does not switch to Portuguese!  That's strange!
