Audio no longer works after updating to Armbian 24.8.2

[PHLAK]

I've been using a few Rock Pi S devices as snapcast clients and after updating them to Armbian 24.8.2 audio does not work anymore.

 

This seems similar to this old post (fix PR).

 

Also, this PR may be a relevant to the issue.

When following the instructions on the official wiki to enable the audio jack I get a `Permission denied` error echoing a value to the `/sys/class/gpio/export` (but not gpio15).

 

$ sudo echo 15 > /sys/class/gpio/export
-bash: /sys/class/gpio/export: Permission denied

$ sudo cat /sys/class/gpio/export

I was able to fix this by updating to the 6.7 kernel via `armbian-config`.
