How to enable sound on a server version of Armbian

I am running an unmodified Server version of Armbian Linux v6.12 (Ubuntu 24.04) on an Orange Pi 5 Plus.

I need to play sounds using the headphone jack on my SBC. Unfortunately the ES8388 sound chip is not recognized, the aplay -l output is as follows:

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Analog [Analog], device 0: fe470000.i2s-es8328-hifi-analog es8328-hifi-analog-0 [fe470000.i2s-es8328-hifi-analog es8328-hifi-analog-0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

The correct output on desktop systems should like this (and it was like this on Desktop Armbian). 

What should I do to enable the ES8388 sound chip while staying on a server OS? Change something in the boot environment maybe? Install drivers?

short version: switch to vendor kernel.

 

long version: mainline support for rk3588 is far from being feature-complete. Audio probably hasn't been mainlined yet. Check https://gitlab.collabora.com/hardware-enablement/rockchip-3588/notes-for-rockchip-3588/-/blob/main/mainline-status.md

 

If you need most things to work vendor is the way to go for now which is based on Rockchip SDK.
