Thanks for the detailed description! Very useful post, especially for those who are just starting to tinker with Armbian on TV boxes. I had a similar situation with another S905X3 box - neither Wi-Fi nor Bluetooth worked, and there was trouble with HDMI audio.
Special thanks for the advice on disabling unattended-upgrades and systemd-networkd-wait-online, I just encountered problems with long loading, now I understand where the legs are growing from. Regarding USB audio - an excellent solution, I didn't even know that it was so easy to bypass the lack of built-in sound. I will try with a similar adapter.
If you have a chance, tell me later whether you managed to set up Wi-Fi via a USB adapter or in another way. And I wonder if you tried other window environments besides XFCE? LXQt, for example?
In any case - a great guide, thanks for your work!
