Orange Pi PC: no sound over HDMI in terminal

Armbianmonitor:

Device: Orange Pi PC.

Image: Armbian_20.08.1_Orangepipc_focal_current_5.8.5.img.

Issue:

No sound in the terminal when I run `sudo speaker-test` or `speaker-test` or if I launch kodi-gbm.

 

I have an old Armbian image with Linux 3.4.112-sun8i Ubuntu 16.04.7 Xenial, it has xfce desktop installed -- there if I set sndhdmi device as a fallback device then `speaker-test` plays fine.

I tried installing xfce and pulseaudio on this current Armbian Focal (not via arm-config, but via `apt install xorg xfce4 pulseaudio`) but in the audio settings there are only 2 devices both named "Built-in Audio Stereo" and setting any of them as a fallback doesn't produce sound over hdmi in the speaker-test.And I'm interested in sound in terminal and kodi-bgm, not xfce desktop.

$ aplay -l

I tried different advice from different topics on this and other forums to no avail.

1) I tried adding my user to audio group (`sudo usermod -a -G audio <username>`).

2) I tried opening alsamixer and muting ("m" key) and unmuting line-in, line-out.

3) I tried adding and tweaking /etc/asound.conf.

This produces no effect:

# cat << EOF > /etc/asound.conf
> defaults.pcm.card 1     
> defaults.ctl.card 1
> EOF                                   
# cat /etc/asound.conf 
defaults.pcm.card 1                                                             
defaults.ctl.card 1                                                             
# speaker-test

# cat /etc/asound.conf 
pcm.!default {
        type hw
        card 1
}
ctl.!default {
        type hw
        card 1
}
# speaker-test

Playback device is default

# Changing `card 1` to `card 0` produces no sound.

# speaker-test
# No sound.

the simple way:

install pulseaudio

 

mpv -ao pulse xxx.mp3

Thanks for you reply, @ning, but unfortunately it doesn't work:

ilyaigpetrov@orangepipc:~$ mpv --ao=pulse ./foobar.mp3 
 (+) Audio --aid=1 (mp3 2ch 48000Hz)
AO: [pulse] 48000Hz stereo 2ch float
A: 00:00:00 / 01:20:04 (0%)

No sound is heard. And it freezes at 00:00:00 and 0% not moving any further.

I used `sudo apt install pulseaudio` for installing pulseaudio.
