Hello,
I managed to run OPi as a media player using OpenELEC (works charmingly fast - much much better than on RasPi), bun on Armbian (legacy kernel - 3.4.113) something went not too good
Firsty, I burn desktop Xenial image onto SD card, dropped into Orange, and everything worked fine besides sound via HDMI - even locally played MP3 files were stuttering, not mentioning Youtube in Chromium - CPU usage was in range of 30-40 percent. Sound in TV speakers were annoying- one second of music, long pause, repeated until I press stop button.
So I gave up with Xenial, write a Jessie server image (also legacy kernel), installed XFCE with all recommended packages (including PulseAudio), managed volume controls to switch to HDMI sound output, getting the same behavior
Anyone had a similar experiences about sound on Allwinner H3 devices?
Thanks in advance to all replies,
T.
