It may have been wishful thinking. If there is a difference then isn't big like night and day that would make sound play properly. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=935456#33 also mentions that digital audio is not working on arm64, but does work with armhf. What is bloody annoying is that the sequence of the sound cards keep switching, which in turn means I have to check the config and enable or disable the settings in /etc/asound.conf to make ALSA use the ALSA card. The net result is that instead of being able to compare the sounds within (say) 1 minute, it takes 3 minutes, 'just' too long to (easily) compare. diederik@rpi-mpd:~$ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: vc4hdmi [vc4-hdmi], device 0: MAI PCM vc4-hdmi-hifi-0 [MAI PCM vc4-hdmi-hifi-0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: ALSA [bcm2835 ALSA], device 0: bcm2835 ALSA [bcm2835 ALSA] Subdevices: 6/7 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Subdevice #1: subdevice #1 Subdevice #2: subdevice #2 Subdevice #3: subdevice #3 Subdevice #4: subdevice #4 Subdevice #5: subdevice #5 Subdevice #6: subdevice #6 card 1: ALSA [bcm2835 ALSA], device 1: bcm2835 IEC958/HDMI [bcm2835 IEC958/HDMI] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 My rpi-mpd device is connected to my multichannel audio capable AV receiver. Is one of these cards capable of just passing through the bitstream? If so, which. And how?
