I tested with Armbian Stretch image on NanoPi-NEO-Core2.

PJSIP VoIP Client. MIC input does not work.
Additional USB sound cards work well.

In FriendelyARM original firmware, MIC input works well.
I hope that this issue will be resolved.

Please help me.

The NanoPiDuo board is the same symptom.
The following logs are left.

Which kernel version were you using here and there?

어떤 커널 버전을 사용하고 있습니까?

I am useing "Armbian_5.59_Nanopineocore2_Debian_stretch_next_4.14.65.7z" image.

And which was the original firmware? Was it kernel 3.10.y?

They abandoned 3.10 pretty early and there was never support for the Core2 based on Allwinner's BSP. They started with 4.11 and are now at 4.14 (based on @megous branches): https://github.com/friendlyarm/linux/commits/sunxi-4.14.y

Perhaps we could use this for our NEXT/4.14.y branch? It shouldn't be worse.

Well, I believe FriendlyELEC did as much as possible to support their own H3 and H5 boards (partially doing things incompatible to upstream kernel/u-boot -- see their way to define DRAM clockspeeds and automagically detect the boards based on specific pin settings) but I doubt they ever took care about other platforms than H3/H5.

 

So no idea how much efforts it would take for this stuff to work since some of their stuff relies on using their (patched) u-boot anyway (of course me not being that interested in Allwinner hardware any more -- my only hope is that Armbian follows a conservative upgrade policiy and bricked boards after kernel or u-boot updates will never happen again)

The same problem is still continuing.

The first is the abnormal operation status log, and the second is the normal operation status log.

The first one works with the Armbian Debian_stretch_next_4.14.78 firmware and the second one with the FrandelyARM firmware.

Is there any way to improve this?

This issue is common to the NanoPi NEO Duo (H2 + Core) / NanoPi NEO Core (H3 Core) / NanoPi NEO Core2 (H5 Core).
