Hi. Hardware: ARM Cubietruck (Allwinner A20 CPU). Kernel: suxi-fork of Linux 3.4 OS: Ubuntu 13.04 armhf (Cubietruck v1.00 stock VGA image) with KDE. (provided by Cubietruck team) 1. VLC media player refuses to play music at all (complaining about audio device). No amount of configuration helped me. 2. Other media players sometimes work and sometimes break (KDE Dragon Player and GNOME MPlayer). They seem to break especially often after trying VLC. ... Where is the problem ? in ALSA drivers ? I tried: # alsa force-reload (didn't help) # alsamixer (returns me error): root@cubietruck:~# alsamixer cannot open mixer: No such file or directory root@cubietruck:~# which alsamixer /usr/bin/alsamixer ... By no means I'm a sound expert, but it seems like an ALSA driver problem for Allwinner chips. When running GNOME mplayer with default device (ALSA), sound breaks, but if I choose "sunxi-CODEC (alsa)", the sound works. Go figure. I need help understanding this issue. P.S.: in a separate thread I'm willing to donate a few samples of this Cubietruck board to interested developers. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sponsored by Intel(R) XDK Develop, test and display web and hybrid apps with a single code base.
