@Levent Erenler

please unmute your muted (MM) Headphone.
Select Headphone and press M to unmute (00 in green) your Headphone-Connector in the alsamixer to get analog-audio

BTW: the dmesg-message isnt right but aplay does show you the soundcard correct  

The same here:
 

root@npi-a64-116(192.168.6.116):~# dmesg|grep -i sound
[    1.163817] Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Initialized.
[    2.863443]   No soundcards found.

yes u are right, i forget unmute while taking photo, unfortunatelly it did not fix, i try every possibility in alsamixer  Thank you for pointing that.

my alsamixer-setting doesnt look very different to yours:

@Levent Erenler did you try to adress card 0 ( sun50ia64audio [sun50i-a64-audio] ) directly?

Internet-Radio-stream:
mpg123 -v -b 1024 -a hw:0,0 -@ http://norawebstreams-stream22.radiohost.de/nora-80er_mp3-192

or use a /etc/asound.conf:

root@npi-a64-116(192.168.6.116):~# more /etc/asound.conf
pcm.!default {
    type hw
    card 0
    device 0
}

ctl.!default {
    type hw
    card 0
}

yes exactly, now it works with custom dts. I write a test dts depending your dts file and it worked. Now  i am trying to find why it is now working with original dts than i will create a patch to share with others. Thanks for your effort.

Platform : Kernel 5.9.5 Pine64+ A64 buster server

Analog sound working ! After a few days, i figure out the analog sound problem. There is a widget property in sound definition at sun50i-a64-pine64.dts file.  This mainly specifies audio off-codec DAPM widgets (Dynamic Audio Power Management for Portable Devices according to devicetree/bindings/sound/widgets.txt) In my case this widgets disable analog sound and i couldnt find a way to enable it I remove widget line and linked routing properties from dts file and rebuild it and it works. If you dont want to rebuild armbian alternate way is using a custom overlay.  Dont forget to unmute HeadPhone with "m" key and increase AIF1 DA0. I hope it will help to someone.  Unfortunately i could not enable microphone input, any ideas?? Thanks

Update: Analog sound + mic working

 

I attached overlay for microphone and headphone. Tested with Pine64+ A64 Kernel 5.9.5 and working. You have to add overlay and set alsa configuration. Settings are just for template, you could modify to find best. Thank you.

you could test speaker with:

speaker-test -twav -c2

 

you could test microphone with;

arecord -f S16_LE -d 5 -r 16000 -c 2 test.wav 

aplay test.wav

Levent Erenler thanks so much for sharing your discovery!

 

I was able to get audio working on my Lime-A64 using the provided overlay.

Hello,

I would also like to run on a Pine64 (Armbian 22.11.4 Bullseye with Linux 5.15.80-sunxi64)
put the analogue microphone input into operation.

 

Unfortunately I haven't succeeded so far. Could you explain the solution step again here?

Thank you and
greeting
