Pulseaudio end select the browser output correctly I think?
Also keep in mind that the echo for performance will last till a shutdown which means you will have to trigger it each time or manually write an instruction for it ‘I believe’.

I’ve compared installed pulseaudio prgramms on both systems = equal .
Not neither browser or console.

Thing is I use BT for Audio… I use a JBL 5 speaker for it… and it works on my side… so Idk how you are having it is it via jack port? it should work out of the box.

linuxfriend · March 31, 2023, 6:42am

Yes, Bluetooth is working fine (after modifying /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf). What I want to have is hear Music and Video via the jack port for my speaker on the desks.
This didn’t work with this image but the “normal” Armbian image.

I dont know if this helps you but try.

linuxfriend · March 31, 2023, 7:09am

Didn’t work. I don’t have speaker in my Monitor. Just standalone speaker at the desk.
but what I recognize: if select “Headphone - ES8316 Audio” while playing webradio the progress bar below is working, but no sound. It seems for me the must be anywhere a controller is muted.

U gotta be a ninja too…

Edit: Join discord it might be easier to reach him.

linuxfriend · March 31, 2023, 8:10am

Okay, I’ve tried this: still no sound on speaker , just progress bar is working. The naming of output device was changed.
Doesn’t have discord.

DarkevilPT · March 31, 2023, 6:25pm

I can just confirm that via bluetooth it all works just fine.
Audio via jack I dont own any device to try. Apologies @linuxfriend you have to keep trying. Or try the previous monkas version (the one that includes steam) that might be working if the mistake is due to some update misplaced… Test it

Can you see if this helps you?

I think these options might help your jack issue

Hi @DarkevilPT , how redoid performance when it run with Armbian , is it ok for 3D games like clash of clan or call of duty mobile ?

DarkevilPT · April 3, 2023, 6:22am

Runs perfect just try it.

linuxfriend · April 3, 2023, 6:23am

Thanks for these tipps. I’ve changed to pipewire, but with same result. No sound at jack port. BT is working well.
Doesn’t matter: it’s only my testing board. I can wait for another solution.
My productive board is working with jack port.
Thanks for your help and support.

I just tried this, it didnt work, so follow the instructions to revert it, and somehow ended up with no desktop environment and now have to start again, ffs. The USB-C port on this thing getting worn out.

DarkevilPT · April 4, 2023, 6:38am

I usually avoid from taking it directly from the board but instead from the monitor to keep that port safe but … dam

@NicoD Has also a gaming script that works for all rockchip single boards:

git clone https://github.com/NicoD-SBC/armbian-gaming.git
cd armbian-gaming
/bin/bash ./armbian-gaming.sh
# Install from 1 to 3 will be steam
# Install from 4 to 6 will be wine / wine desktop and all its 'wine'-tricks
# Install option 8 will be the Android Emulator

Install Malior-Droid for the Android fun with Scrypy Container

sudo nala install docker docker.io adb -y
sudo mkdir /dev/binderfs
sudo mount -t binder binder /dev/binderfs
wget -O - https://github.com/ChisBread/malior/raw/main/install.sh > /tmp/malior-install.sh && bash /tmp/malior-install.sh  && rm /tmp/malior-install.sh 
#it takes long to fetch for the doBox file be patient
malior update
malior install malior-droid
malior-droid update

Install scrpy version 2.0 that is needed for audio forwarding from the android docker container

sudo nala install ffmpeg libsdl2-2.0-0 adb wget gcc git pkg-config meson ninja-build libsdl2-dev libavcodec-dev libavdevice-dev libavformat-dev libavutil-dev libswresample-dev libusb-1.0-0 libusb-1.0-0-dev -y
--
git clone https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy
cd scrcpy
./install_release.sh

Change it to english this way. Just drag and drop your .apk file into the android window it will auto install it.

Start the Android Emulator on Terminal:

malior-droid
adb connect localhost:5555
scrcpy -s localhost:5555

App to map the gamepad controller sudo apt install antimicro

To become certified with access to the play store you have to:
1 - Install a device ID apk to get this Device ID and register it on your google account.
2 - Register it here: https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/
3 - Give it a day till google approval happens. (Hours minutes or maybe 1 day not in our control).

Credits to @bread and @monka for this.

Added to the guide have fun!
