Hdmi audio doesn't work on db820c

Products Support DragonBoard 820c
#1

HI,

I tried 4.14 kernel branch. Hdmi audio doesn’t work. Can someone please let me know, is it tested?

Thanks,
Pradeep

#2

In my case, HDMI audio was glitchy (using the latest 201 Debian release). The solution was:

[1] Reinstall PulseAudio
sudo apt-get -y remove --purge pulseaudio
sudo apt-get -y install pulseaudio
sudo apt-get -y install pavucontrol

[2] Edit file “/etc/pulse/default.pa” and include “tsched=0” (after load-module module-udev-detect):

load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0

[3] Reboot

Reference :
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio/Troubleshooting#Glitches.2C_skips_or_crackling

(look for “Glitches, skips or crackling” in this reference)

Note: maybe, step [1] can be skipped (I just tried it first). Steps [2] and [3] may fix the issue.

I hope this helps.

Hello, @pradeep

First of all, thank you very much.

I tested with the 225 release, but HDMI is still silent.

except modifying the load-module-udev-detect tsched = 0, what else needs to be done??

Thanks

Hi @chen,

It should work with 4.14 branch. Try with a different tv and check once.

Thanks,
Pradeep

Hi @pradeep
It is sill silent, with different TV. I doubt it’s not the TV problem.

Thanks

Hi @chen,

Ok, may be some thing broken in newer kernel. check out to below commit, build kernel and try. This should work for you.

git checkout 1d9f9c9a67bf9e3e8501095a87e3f05e2ae007e4

Hi @chen,

Playing audio with VLC/ any other app should be fine. Have you done flashing the meta binaries(particularly NON-HLOS.bin is needed)? which board are you using? From the boot logs, check whether adsp firmware is loaded or not.

Thanks,
Pradeep

#13

Check sound card is registered or not. It should list db820c.
cat /proc/asound/cards

Thanks,
Pradeep

#14

Hi，@pradeep,
The BOARDS is arrow db820c,which can be found,by 96boards web.
the NON-HLOS.bin is not flashed, we do not find it, how do you get it ? the adsp .bin has the same question
db820c cards can be found, by cat proc/asond/cards

Thanks
feng

#15

Hi @chen,

I think adsp firmware is packed in rootfs. check in /lib/firmware. It is ok. NON-HLOS is not needed.
I am sorry, i don’t know why it doesn’t work for you. May be somone from linaro can help?

Thanks,
Pradeep

Hi,Pradeep,
Thank you very much,
we change a tv, the hdmi sound can work,
maybe the hdmi sound driver is incompatible with TV of different brands.

Thanks
chen
