This is my first post here, hopefully this is in the right place.
I have an Rpi2 and the Cirrus/Element14 Audio board. I've been able to make it work under raspbian Linux (kernel 4.1.13) using the precompiled kernel from hiassoft (thank you!)
I prefer Arch Linux and have spent time searching for posts regarding using the audio board with Arch Linux and I've found nothing I can use.
So I started my own little adventure. Since the kernels are both version 4.1.13, I thought it might be possible to get the board working with Arch Linux using the precompiled kernel. My first attempt basically followed the same procedure as for raspbian, that is, to expand the tar file at the file system root and then edit the two files that need special attention. The first time I did this with Arch Linux, the tar file extract deleted the link from /lib to /usr/lib which broke a lot of things and of course, did not work. Once I realized what happened, I tried something a bit different - I extracted the tar file to a benign location and then used cp -a to copy the files to /usr/lib and then I edited the two files. When I rebooted, the red LED went out (which also happened in raspbian - which worked). So I installed mplayer in Arch, but it wouldn't play an mp3 that played with raspbian. An error message was printed that said something like: The sound card got stuck!
Anyway, this is as far as I can go with this, I hope maybe this is helpful to someone else.
The question is - has anyone successfully made the Cirrus/Element14 Audio board work with Arch Linux?
