I think I wasn't clear: HDMI audio is working, built-in audio is not. I'm using the latest edge image from Armbian that is 6.15. It's strange that I can see in Gnome Config the audio ports correctly HDMI and Built-In.

You could try to create chromium.conf yourself. Here's what I have here: cat /etc/armbian/chromium.conf # Default settings for chromium-browser. This file is sourced by /bin/sh from # /usr/bin/chromium-browser # Options to pass to chromium-browser CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--disable-smooth-scrolling \ --disable-low-res-tiling \ --enable-low-end-device-mode \ --num-raster-threads=$(grep -c processor /proc/cpuinfo) \ --profiler-timing=0 \ --disable-composited-antialiasing \ --disk-cache-dir=/tmp/${USER}-cache \ --disk-cache-size=$(findmnt --target /tmp -n -o AVAIL -b | awk '{printf ("%0.0f",$1*0.3); }') \ --no-sandbox \ --test-type"

Armbian already is! uname -a Linux orangepi5-plus 6.15.0-edge-rockchip64 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun May 25 23:09:23 UTC 2025 aarch64 GNU/Linux Itś on edge, but it's working fine here, apart from the analog audio...

I'll check that! Thanks, Igor! I took a break from it as building Gnome had the best results from any other DE/WM with Wayland or X11. Also, I'm using Edge Kernel with 6.13, that's running great!

ok, I found it's a feature as i3 doesn't support wayland it's not added.

Hi, I've been compiling my own Armbian images since 6.13-rc5, and now 6.13 and I noticed that when I compile i3, youtube videos and webgl tests don't work as great when I compile i3 with mesa-vpu as it does when I compile e.g., cinnamon. I also noticed that the suffix is not -mesa-desktop, only -desktop. Is it as per design and i3 doesn't include mesa at all, or is it some kind of bug? Thanks!

I'm adding this here as I want to contribute to the community, but I'm still not sure how. I've been playing with Armbian Build lately and found it's great for quick build images for testing purposes before it's officially made available. So I started build my own images with i3, mate, kde, and I noticed that, in my personal taste, the one that was better suited for my needs was Sway, but there's no desktop image with it. So I built a Server version and start installing it. I know it may not be of interest of everybody, so I was planning to do it for myself, so I can continue building with the interface, but having Sway "automatically" installed. If/when I'm able to do this, I could put this in CSC mode in the repo, or I shouldn't do that as it's going to bloat the system more as there's no interest in having yet another WM/DE available? I'm thinking of this as an alternative to i3,as I noticed that, in my board, Wayland is performing much better than XOrg/X11.

What version of Armbian are you using? I using the latest release version (24.11.2 Debian version with Cinamon) in a Ultra-Wide @3440x1440. When I was in a rolling I can only do 16:9/1080p, also.

Just for the record: I also have an OPi5+ and I use the OPi power brick with an NVMe, in my case I have a Crucial P3 Plus 500GB PCIe M.2 2280 SSD CT500P3PSSD8 and it works like a charm, no hickups or issues of any kind. Maybe yours is not compatible with the board?

I noticed that the 6.10 don't have te blue/green heartbeat, it stays red. Also, hdmi for unusual resolutions is not working yet. Maybe you have the feeling that it's not turning on because of that. Can you try in a different monitor?

Check armbian-install. It will copy you SD to NVME and you're done. https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/#how-to-install-to-emmc-sata-nvme-usb

Did you get any luck with this? I tried adding the files to /boot/overlay-user/ and set the user_overlays in armbianEnv.txt but I didn't succeeded. I followed this guide: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Armbian_overlays/

That's right! I just tested it today and it's working fine!

Which HDMI port did you connect? I was testing it today and it only showed some video in the midle HDMI port. One thing I noticed is that it's still not working with Ultra Wide monitors. I was able to work with it in 1080p, but not in 2k@21x9.

how exactly are you writing to the SD card? I just did it today with Gnome Image Writer and it worked without any issue. The image I used was https://mirror-us-stl1.armbian.airframes.io/dl/orangepi5-plus/archive/Armbian_24.5.1_Orangepi5-plus_noble_vendor_6.1.43_gnome-oibaf_desktop.img.xz There is no need to unpack. Right click -> open with Image Writer -> select destination (SD card) -> wait until the process finishes -> boot with SD card -> setup Armbian -> start using.
