DeterminedOpier Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Hello all. Try as I might, I can't get HDMI sound on my OpiPC. orangepi@orangepipc:~$ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: audiocodec [audiocodec], device 0: SUNXI-CODEC sndcodec-0 [] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: sndhdmi [sndhdmi], device 0: SUNXI-HDMIAUDIO sndhdmi-0 [] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 I originally had no asound.conf, but I made one: pcm.!default { type hw card 1 } ctl.!default { type hw card 1 } Looking around, I see an unanswered question on this from '16. HDMI on the TV does work with a Meego stick. I did have audio through the headphone jack before I went and added the asound.conf and edited the alsa config file. But HDMI just refuses to work.

Igor Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 HDMI sound works for me on a legacy desktop version with Orangepi PC. Whenever reporting some malfunction, provide as much useful data as possible. We operate too many boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeterminedOpier Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 Yea it didn't make any sense to me. That was why I tried it with another board and it worked fine. var/log/armhwinfo.log has been uploaded to http://sprunge.us/ffPC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeterminedOpier Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 I actually see hdmi.audio=EDID:0 but I have no idea how to change that to 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeterminedOpier Posted November 24, 2017 Author Share Posted November 24, 2017 Hi again Igor. Thanks for explaining the utility. I hope at some point you'll come back. I have a new development. Burned an image of retrorangepi and lo and behold, the HDMI sound works. So I may try to make this image do what I need it to do for my main project. But I'd still like to get the base image working correctly. This is the link for the retrorangepi system: http://sprunge.us/WDdG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeterminedOpier Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 Thanks. But didn't work. I also tried copying the asound.conf from the HDMI sound working image from retrorangepi and that didn't work either. They have this whole dmixer thing going on there, and I did an apt-cache search on dmixer and got nothing. Wish I could get the dongle to work on the other image at least. It's like a circle. One does one thing I want and the other one does the other thing, but ner the two shall meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I didn't give any information and my methods have failed. Just tried to burn a fresh image for the opipc and same issue, sound through headphones but not through hdmi. Fortunately the TV has an 1/8" audio in. It looks like on the retrorangepi image they used some fancy software footwork to get the hdmi to work.

DeterminedOpier Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 Igor replied in the opi board. I have no idea how to switch from analog to HDMI. It is very simple and it works. I just checked on latest Ubuntu desktop image with legacy kernel. Click to audio settings/icon in upper right corner and switch "Default sink" to sndhdmi analogue stereo I tested playing this video http://samplemedia.linaro.org/H2 ... fps_7200K_short.MP4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
