OrangePi 3 LTS ac200 stereo audio jack issue

[Laforge]

 

Hi I've got both left and right channels working of my analog audio jack. The quality is quite good as long as Master audio isn't set above volume 15 - 20 or so.

Toggling DAC or DAC-Reversed in Alsamixer will enable or disable the physical left and right physical speakers of ear buds.

However! On both channels, the left and right software signals are mixed. So if I use "aplay stereo-file.wav", I hear left+right mixed through my separate left ear. Listening to my right earbud, same story: I hear left+right audio mixed.

Please help, I can't even find any snd_ module flags to mess with.

I've no pulseaudio installed on this latest stable server edition of Armbian (Armbian_23.8.3_Orangepi3-lts_jammy_current_6.1.53_minimal.img). Armbianmonitor txt/gzip output is attached.

Tried several /etc/asound.conf upmix settings, no luck. Made absolutely sure my audio jack isn't bridging anything by soldering straight to the board. No luck, I cannot separate the outputs.

 

(no, the loose floating wire on the bottom is not the cause)
