Hi all,
I just installed the latest Void Linux release tarball (2021-09-30) onto my CanaKit Raspberry Pi 4 Model B w/4GB. Audio appears completely broken and I was not able to get it working by removing pulseaudio packages as recommended by another post in this forum. (I was unable to remove the libpulseaudio package due to excessive dependencies, but did remove pulseaudio, pulseaudio-utils and pavucontrol.) No sound is generated on either my HDMI monitor or the Pi's audio jack. I have traced this problem down to the fact that ALSA seems to think there are no sound cards in the system:
# aplay mysoundfile
ALSA lib confmisc.c:855:(parse_card) cannot find card '0' ...
(The alsamixer app generates the same error message.) Can anyone explain to me why ALSA can see no sound hardware on this system and how I can make it do so?
Thanks!
PS: There are no cards listed in /proc/asound and the /usr/bin/alsa-info.sh diagnostic generates the following relevant info:
