[SOLVED] Audio with Cubieboard2 (A20)

Postby uxalarm » Sat Jun 04, 2016 8:48 am

Is the audio supposed to work on the Cubieboard 2?

I'm trying to have some audio out of the jack.

First trying to figure out the available output(s), but can only see one device (not supposed to have jack and HDMI?):
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[ux@chiisai ~]$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: sun4icodec [sun4i-codec], device 0: CDC PCM Codec-0 []
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
')

Trying to play something anyway:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[ux@chiisai ~]$ speaker-test -c 2

speaker-test 1.1.1

Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz)
Buffer size range from 128 to 131072
Period size range from 64 to 16384
Using max buffer size 131072
Periods = 4
was set period_size = 16384
was set buffer_size = 131072
0 - Front Left
1 - Front Right
Write error: -5,Input/output error
xrun_recovery failed: -5,Input/output error
Transfer failed: Input/output error
[ux@chiisai ~]$
')

I/O error (after a few secondes), but nothing interesting in dmesg AFAICT:

Oh, and I'm in the audio group and it's the same as a root user.

I'm using the mainline kernel as it's the default one with this board.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[ux@chiisai ~]$ uname -a
Linux chiisai 4.6.0-3-ARCH #1 SMP Sat May 21 10:58:31 MDT 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux
')

Any suggestion?

EDIT: needed to unmute "Power Amplifier DAC" and "Power Amplifier Mute" in alsamixer to fix the I/O errors, and raise the "Power Amplifier" to hear something. Curious behaviour, but be it. Maybe an /etc/asound.conf should be created.
