audio on NanoPi NEO Air V1.0

[Raymond Day]

I solder wires to 2 of the 4 pads on this small board. I test for sound but get none.

Edit the "nano /etc/asound.conf" and do aplay /root/Music/test.wav and don't play any sound. I can only set the /etc/asound.conf to card 1 else the aplay will error.

What is the right setting to use the built in audio?

Got this photo of the solder job I did hard to get a good photo of it because so small.

Any one else do this and got the audio working?

How can you by the NanoPi NEO Air V1.1 were it has the audio on pins you can solder in holes.

It depends of the OS. At least on Armbian you need to enable audio codec in armbian-config -> hardware ... I am not sure its enabled by default. Also not sure it this is the case on stock images.

Because I can't get sound like that I thought I try blue tooth. But it seems like it will not connect like that ether.

Here is the command line looks good but the blue tooth speaker never says connected. I tested it with a Amazon tablet and when it connects the speaker will say "blue tooth connected" But it don't with this NanoPi NEO Air.

Am I doing something wrong? Any one else got this working on audio blue tooth? if so how?

I still like the audio to work on the little pads I solder wires too.

Bluetooth is ... problematic. I did have some success with our Bionic desktops and with Cubietruck (which has similar chip) and Tinkerboard ... I could easily connect audio sink to my BT speaker and sound worked instantly.

Try Armbian, enable codec (that's support for analog audio which you are trying to use) and it might just work. Haven't tried on this board but if it is wired properly, there are no reasons why it doesn't work.

Yes Audio (in and out) are working on nanopi neo air v1. I got mainly software problems to make it working on my specific setup (need to patch the kernel and configure alsa). You may find some info I wrote at https://github.com/auto3000/meta-nanopi-neo-air
