How to turn on souncard in Orange Pi Zero 2W?

[sminder]

I installed the image https://dl.armbian.com/orangepizero2w/Bookworm_current_minimal on my Orange Pi Zero 2W board. But when I tied to check sound from the headphone interface on the expansion board I have a problem:
 

user@orangepizero2w:~$ aplay -l
aplay: device_list:274: no soundcards found...

 

There is no chance to turn it on even through DTB overlay in armbian-config because there is no sound card in there.

How to make sound work in this board with Armbian?

The sound is deactivated in the device tree.

I activated it directly in the device tree. It may not be a nice solution, but it works for now.
I can try to write an overlay as soon as I will find some time.

You can also try the image for the orange pi zero 3

You also have to do as described here: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/no-sound-card-detected-for-opi-zero-2w/20133/26

 

/usr/bin/amixer -c 0 set 'Left Output Mixer DACL' 100% unmute

Or install the Orange Pi Zero 3 image with the 6.13.7 edge kernel. On the Zero 2W image, the edge kernel doesn't boot.
