[SOLVED] no sound card after post Wed Dec 09 08:08:08 UTC 2020 updates

glorsplitz · 01-12-2021, 08:27 PM

This is on my banana pi pro. Since I installed the system, I've never had any issues with any updates.

I had sound prior to applying last updates, as there were so many updates, not sure what to check. There's no /proc/asound.

I'm following up on one of my rpi3 to see what happens there.

attached alsamixer-sun4i-codec.jpg was from 11/19/20.

thanks

It's missing from the driver list in menuconfig entirely despite having the dependencies set correctly, so it hasn't been built.
I'll have a look at it for the next kernel update.

Stuart, Thank you!, you've been so spot on with everything, I'll let this one slide

That's weird - the module is surfaced within the drivers list in Linux 5.10.7 but wasn't there in 5.10.5. I'll push that out in the next update.
Ironically, Phil and I recorded an episode where I tested reinstallation using the new Kernel on the Banana Pi and it worked fine. I didn't test sound though!

What happens when the sun4i-codec is loaded as a module is as follows.
I haven't checked if it works on the Banana Pi yet, but whilst this doesn't seem to cause any runtime operational issues on other platforms, I can't ship a kernel out in this state.

I've removed the sun4i driver again until I have time to look at it.
You may want to revert to the 5.4 Kernel series until then. The last kernel of that series I packaged was 5.4.81. I can upload them if you need them.

Restored Allwinner A10 sound driver for the Banana Pi

I occasionally checked /proc/asound/ since I created this thread, just noticed something there, sound is back on my bpi pro.

Thank you!

After the update on 10-4-2021 I have no sound. I'm running -current and using KDE.

I have checked the sound icons and don't see anything strange. Not sure what to check next.

I changed some settings and this is working now. It looks like I posted this on the wrong forum.
