The OPi5 uses an es8388 for the analog audio out. I don't know about the OPi5Max or other boards for that matter, as I don't own any other relevant SBC. Good luck!

Nope, not gonna happen. If anyone spot something, let me know, I'll wait for 25.5 and kernel 6.1.115 and hope for the best.

Quick update Since I need the hardware video decoder, I focused on vendor kernel (6.1) and KDE Observed on the following images that kernel versions higher than 6.1.75 (6.1.84 and 6.1.99) have issues with analog audio out (no output). The jack detection is functional, HDMI audio works, and it's not specific to the OS or KDE versions. Armbian_25.2.1_Orangepi5_noble_vendor_6.1.99_kde-neon_desktop.img Armbian_24.11.2_Orangepi5_noble_vendor_6.1.75_kde-neon-kisak_desktop.img Armbian_24.8.1_Orangepi5_jammy_vendor_6.1.75_kde-neon-kisak_desktop.img I compared the device tree from 2 installs, 25.2.1 (6.1.99) and 24.11.2 (before update, 6.1.75) and nothing jumps out. For the time being I rolled back the kernel to 6.1.75 on the 25.2.1 (updated to the latest, 25.2.3) image and put the DTS, headers and image packages on hold so I don't update them by mistake. I'll update this thread when I figure out more.

Thanks for all the info! As I can see the device fine, I'm assuming my DT is alright. I think I'm going to try some other images (ie. debian, main kernel, etc...) and see where it leads me, maybe I can get a hint of what's happening. I can change devices fine in KDE, the jack detect works as I see it toggle, but I don't get anything out. HDMI audio works fine though. I've seen some weird audio stuff a long time ago, I'll see what little I can remember since it doesn't seem to be something blatantly obvious. I have a hunch or two but unlikely to make any difference Ubuntu making it worse doesn't sound good to me... hehehe (pun intended) I'm planning to use it as a 2nd desktop/media player, most of the time I don't need the "power" of the "workstation" so running the opi works great (well, will hopefully) I went with KDE since that's what I'm using on the "workstation". To be honest, there's very high probabilities I'm going to buy a USB sound card and be done with it, but it feels like a waste.

Hi, I recently got my hands on a used unit of those, quite faster than my old SBC! Only issue I currently have is that I can't seem to get audio output on the 3.5mm jack. (Well the other issue is unrelated .. ) Anyone have an idea on what I should be hunting? I did the obvious cable, etc.. checks. There's always the possibility that it's damaged, hell if I know. Armbian 25.2.1 6.1 kernel KDE Neon (Why use a beta version btw? just wondering) Thanks! DW.
