Setting Audio output to Jack instead of HDMI

When using my 3.15 kernel, can you try the devicetree file from https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-WIc2IIJv2FY2Y3UWloQWQ1ZWs/edit?pli=1 you just need to copy it into /boot and reboot

There's a new set of files comprising SDcard image, kernel and devicetree available at   https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B-WIc2IIJv2FQURpR2V0MkhhUjg#list which will have working audio.

Just do

apt-get update

apt-get install alsa-utils

speaker-test -c 2

and you should get sound.

Hello,

Thanks for the update.

I am downloading this image and would try it out shortly.

Warm Regards,

Hi,

With your changes now the audio is working.

Additional packages installed:

apt-get install ssh alsa python binutils wget curl bzip2 zip vim mplayer udisks

This helped me to play the mp3 files from a pendrive and then eject it like in Ubuntu.

No GUI or xorg was required to achive this.

Thanks a lot agrahambell for your support,

The only question now remains is if I can run Video over this setup and if VNC can put it on display.

Well I will try that out too and update.

Warm Regards,

Abhijit

You can certainly get xorg running.  If by 'video' you mean playing mp4 h264 and such like video files in something like vlc or mplayer then it's somewhat more complex. You can play these, but currently only with software decoding, someone needs to do the work to integrate that parts needed to get hardware accelerated decoding functional.

I haven't heard any audio from my RIoTboard with Debian either. It was build using the article series and is working great other than no sound. It appears that it is expected that the audio won't work. I have gone through tons of articles on fixing "no sound" issues with ALSA but so far everything seems to be working--except there is no sound. ALSA has been installed both from the current source and from a repository. I am not too interested in any blog-thread debugging but I am interested in any known or expected issues or gotchas. The hardware does work with at least one of the prebuilt images.
