Odroid N2 test builds

On youtube, HDR videos remain in SDR. :frowning:

Almost everything else is nickel!

With aplay - l , I have all the 3 hardware devices (hdmi , analog and spdif)
But aplay -L list default and hdmi hdmi:CARD=AMLAUGESOUND,DEV=0
I seem for me that it miss DEV=1 and DEV=2 but maybe I’m wrong.

HDR with VP9 format doesn’t work. It never worked on 3.14 either.

Update to the latest nightly, make sure that you also manually update the DTB.
Then in Kodi select the Analog audio device and make sure that passthrough is disabled.

No support for VP9.2 ?

VP9.2 is supported, but HDR with VP9.2 doesn’t work.

I tried with the last one from ray
ray/CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-9.0-devel-1556799571.tar
And use g12b_a311d_odroid_n2.dtb for DTB
Passthrough is disabled.
In audio output I have PCM and HDMI.
But the two give me sound only on the HDMI port.
Nothing on the Analog port.
Do I need to try another build?

To be frank, I only checked analog output capability very early on, and it worked for me. But since then there were some changes made in the kernel and DTBs that could have affected it. I don’t think anybody tested this at all.
What are you using the analog output for, just out of interest.

I have a good audio system but only 2.0. But enough for me and the quality for music is very good.
So the hdmi is connected to the TV and the TV to my amplifier.
No problem to watch a movie or TV show.
But for music I prefer to turn off TV and control the music with Yatse.
So it’s why analog audio output is better in my case.

From what I remember, PCM audio should be looped back from HDMI to the analog output.
Does analog not work at all, or does it only work in certain conditions? Like just after a reboot or when the TV is on or something like that.

Always no analog sound. TV on or off.
I tested Ubuntu and I have Analog or HDMI output. not the both in the same time.

Can you look for a conf file that contains the text AML-AUGESOUND on Android?
It can be something like AML-AUGESOUND.conf or asound.conf. If you find it, please post it so I can take a look. I confirmed that there’s no analog audio, but the changes I made to the existing config file made analog work while breaking PCM via HDMI, so having a reference would probably help in solving the issue.

On android only? Ubuntu can’t help?

Sorry, I meant Ubuntu.

My test Ubuntu have problem with network after updating I reinstall it to share asound.conf
In hardkernel wiki we have :
Ubuntu minimal image does not include pulseaudio.
In this case, the way to set the sound output path is to set /etc/asound.conf
Default value is HDMI output.

root@odroid:~# cat /etc/asound.conf
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave {
pcm “hw:0,0”
}
}
root@odroid:~#

You can change the sound output path by edit /etc/asound.conf

pcm “hw:0,0” // HDMI output
pcm “hw:0,1” // Internal DAC(audio jack) output
pcm “hw:0,2” // SPDIF output

My ubuntu asound have some line more.

Yes, I am currently set at 5.1 via HDMI. I believe the issue persists even in PCM-Analog

I believe it’s having this issue outside of just AAC format. Seemed fine on my other monitor w/ internal speakers. So I’m thinking it has to do w/ the receiver and 5.1 setup or HDMI again.

C2 doesn’t have this issue w/ the same settings.

the default asound.conf is :
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave {
pcm “hw:0,1”
format S16_LE
rate 44100
}
}

ctl.!default {
type hw
card 0
}
For Anlog jack you have to choose audio jack output in settings.
By default it’s hdmi.
Strange because in asound.conf there is hw:0,1 so normally analog audio jack.
There is another bug in ubuntu , audio setting didn’t survive to reboot.
Maybe because asound.conf is not changed.
So hw:0,1 maybe mean hdmi and not analog. Maybe a bug in the wiki?

In system audio set number of channels 2.0 and enable AC3 transcoding to see if it behaves any different.

@Ray - Is there any update on getting the USB 3 ports to work?
