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.

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.

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 ?
Runs perfect just try it.
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.
I usually avoid from taking it directly from the board but instead from the monitor to keep that port safe but … dam

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!

Thank you fot the new images!
Just a note, these can be downloaded with the wget using the “–no-check-certificate” switch. Although download is interupted couple of times, wget automaticaly resumes it.

Amazing tip! Thanks! I was using windows (thats why I mentioned jDownloader) but yeah.
I cannot boot the Rock 5a image, tried with both belenaEtcher and RPI imager, it always fails the same way
Begin: Waiting for root file system... Begin: Running /scripts/local-block ... done.
done
- Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
-Check rootdelay- (did the system wait long enough?)
- Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
Alert! UUID= XXXXXX does not exist. Dropping to a shell.
Am I doing something wrong when writing the image to the microSD?
UPDATE:
The same thing is happening with the official image from Radxa… I do have my Rock 5a booting from M.2, could it be related?
