linux-raspberrypi 5.4.40-1 > no sound.

[NotEinstein]

linux-raspberrypi 5.4.40-1 caused my Pi3B+ to lose analog 3.5 sound output with VLC, Chromium and Firefox, but OMXplayer output sound OK.
Also xscreensaver GLGlideShow stopped working.

Temporarily resolved by downgrading to 5.4.35-1.

Upgraded to new linux-raspberrypi 5.4.42-1 and whilst xscreensaver GLGlideShow is now working, still no analog sound on anything other than omxplayer, so back to 5.4.35-1

hi,

since the last alsa update is the name for the audio 3,5mm jack Headphones not "PCM" anymore, may you need to check your alsa settings.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'aplay -l')
on my system I got this message:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: b1 [bcm2835 HDMI 1], device 0: bcm2835 HDMI 1 [bcm2835 HDMI 1]

')
to bring my 3,5mm jack to work again I changed my default alsa setting to according on this page
https://learn.adafruit.com/usb-audio-cards-with-a-raspberry-pi/updating-alsa-config

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
defaults.ctl.card 1
defaults.pcm.card 1
')
this change work for me on omxplayer, chromium, cmus...
good luck
