New Vero2 - no sound

Help and Support Vero 2

Thank you.

So I changed the sources.list and I have a lot of errors :

Failed to fetch http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie-devel-updates/non-free/binary-armhf/Packages 404 Not Found

But it is correct…isnt’it ?

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-devel main contrib non-free

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ jessie-devel-updates main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie-devel/updates main contrib non-free

deb http://apt.osmc.tv jessie-devel main

Regard.

Only change the deb http://apt.osmc.tv jessie-devel main line, leave the others as they were

Only the apt.osmc.tv line needs to be changed. Revert the others.

Yes of course. Stupid am I !

So I followed all the steps, reboot, and yes I can see now analog in the audio settings. :grinning:

So I tried, and put the jack but the only sound is “a sizzling going and returning” :disappointed:

We probably need to fix the output at 44.1Khz. Try:

#
# Configuration for Amlogic M8 Audio
#

<confdir:pcm/front.conf>

SOC-Audio.pcm.front.0 {
	@args [ CARD ]
	@args.CARD { type string }
	type hw
	card $CARD
	device 0
	format S16_LE
	rate 44100
}

<confdir:pcm/iec958.conf>

SOC-Audio.pcm.iec958.0 {
	@args [ CARD AES0 AES1 AES2 AES3 ]
	@args.CARD { type string }
	@args.AES0 { type integer }
	@args.AES1 { type integer }
	@args.AES2 { type integer }
	@args.AES3 { type integer }
	type hooks
	slave.pcm {
		type hw
		card $CARD
		device 1
		format S16_LE
	}
	hooks.0 {
		type ctl_elems
		hook_args [
			{
				interface MIXER
				name "IEC958 Playback Default"
				lock true
				preserve true
				optional true
				value [ $AES0 $AES1 $AES2 $AES3 ]
			}
		]
	}
}

SOC-Audio.pcm.default {
	@args [ CARD ]
	@args.CARD { type string }
	type plug
	slave.pcm {
		@func concat
		strings [ "dmix:" $CARD ]
	}
}

Hello,

no it is not working, still the same noise :worried:

27

Are you using the socket nearest the HDMI connector ?

28

Yes, and I tried both.
Is it working with you ??

Yes as of last night it is working for me using the unreleased version in the staging repository.

We are still testing some of the other changes but if you are really in a hurry and want to try it and still have jessie-devel in your source.list, try doing a full dist-upgrade or updating via My OSMC. Note: the current test kernel has CEC disabled so if you are relying on CEC I would not recommend this.

Or just wait a few days until we have finished testing other aspects of the update and we will be pushing it out to all Vero 2 users. Remember that jessie-devel is our testing area so sometimes the versions of software in it are broken, so you should not indiscriminately update using this repository unless you are prepared to install from scratch again should something go wrong.

Yes I’m in a hurry. And of course when the official stable release’ll be out, I’ll re-install OSMC from scratch :slightly_smiling:

So now, to made the full dist-upgrade, I just do
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

And reboot. Is it right ?

Yes as long as you have the jessie-devel still in the apt sources

32

and…YES :grinning: Analog sound is ok now !

Thank you for your help.
