armbian and sound

[xwalter]

hello everyone ! 

I'm trying to listen music with my orange pi over armbian of course. 

I have installed VLC and it seems works but not sound .

I use the 3,5mm output connected to the amplifier 

At the moment no sound and no music ....

Does anyone know what I have to do ?

Thanks in advanced 

Walter

Did you read through the pinned thread [Tutorial] Orange Pi One - adding USB, analog audio out, TV out, mic and IR receiver  at the top of the forum?  I know it has some information on audio; hopefully it has something pertaining to your issue.

I think that by default VLC uses the HDMI sound output.

You must select audio codec in "preferences" and save it IIRC.

Some choices are only effective if you restart VLC.

I had no problems selecting various USB audio out devices with VLC.

I use an audio/video cable that was tested with an android distribution.

aplay -l is useful to list the various audio out devices available.

if I type 

lsmod 

I cannot see any driver for the sound .

Do you think is this the problem?

No, because all H3 sound drivers except spdif are built-in in kernel and are not loaded as modules.

check your /etc/asound.conf file. Try this one and use dmixer as default output device

 

------------------------------------------------------------

pcm.!default {

  type plug

  slave.pcm "dmixer"

}

 

pcm.dmixer  {

  type dmix

  ipc_key 1024

  slave {

    pcm "hw:0,0"

    period_time 0

    period_size 1024

    buffer_size 4096

    rate 44100

  }

  bindings {

    0 0

    1 1

  }

}

 

ctl.dmixer {

  type hw

  card 0

}

The default sound output is hdmi, you need to change it on /etc/asound.conf.

This is the default file:

pcm.!default {
    type hw
    card 1
}

ctl.!default {
    type hw
    card 1
}

You need to change the card number to 0 on both lines, if it is not 0 you can check the card number with cat /proc/asound/cards
