Installed and working nicely
But no sound!!!!!
aplay -l shows the DAISY-I2S which i assume is ok.
I have tried coping /usr/share/alsa/ucm from chromeOS onto the rootfs, and calling
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'a')lsaucm -c DAISY-I2S
as suggested here

, no errors, but i hear no sound.
I have also tried unmuted all the channels in alsamixer and given them a little bit of volume (well all channels except MIC1 and MIC2 left and right mixers which made worrying noises come out of speakers.) - i have been a little cautious here though as i read other folk have blown their speakers by messing around in here.
I also tried copying the asound configs from /etc/, but this seems to want to set the sound to go through CRAS instead of alsa, which i dont think i want to do (do i?)
Can anyone shed some light as to what direction i should be looking at? im not much of an alsa guru.
For testing i am just doing 'aplay' on the wav files in /usr/share/alsa/
btw, everything else is working very nicely which for me includes
- Xorg
- ratpoison (normal use, but also added ratpoison mapping to fix brightness up & down keys)
- uzbl-browser
- vim, ssh, git etc.
- mutt
- ibus pinyin chinese input (type chinese in xterm!)
- remapping the 'Input' key so i can paste in x-term (xmodmap does not work with ibus)
- wireless using netcfg@.service (I had to tweak at as it was trying to load too early before /dev/mlan0 existed)
Any help with the sound would be greatly appreciated. Has anyone else had problems with this?
*UPDATE*NEVERMIND!!! ignore me - i was being an idiot. the fact i had lots of chanels umuted was the problem, when i went back and muted everything i didn't need the sound just started working
