Snapcast Mopidy and more

I want to create a media audio streaming just like in this video, but instead of using an audio jack I want to use the HDMI port.

I’m using Ubuntu Focal 20.04 update 2021-11-22.

I just can’t get audio out via HDMI like in Radxa Zero documentation that said it would be “the easiest way”.

When I use the command aplay -l I get:

aplay: device_list:276: no soundcards found…

I think due to the minimal packages of Ubuntu version available here, there are some important missing app to play sound via HDMI (so if it “the easiest way” I don’t wanna see the other ways).

I did a trial using TwisterOS Focal Beta4 and it works. I just don’t want to use this heavier OS for this quite simple application.

Does anyone know the missing packages for Ubuntu? Or is there a more complete version of Ubuntu available for Radxa Zero?

LOL I wrote that since I too assume HDMI will just work. I mean S905Y2 is a set-top box SOC so it definitely has the capability.

I’ll test this on Monday. Meanwhile I don’t see have any HDMI audio devices in the office…

Might be related to Fe.dai-link-0: ASoC: no backend DAIs enabled for fe.dai-link-0. Pinging @Stephen for confirmation.

This is fixed. Please upgrade kernel to the latest version, 5.10.69-9-amlogic. (Radxa APT buster-testing and focal-testing)

Try

sudo apt update
sudo apt linux-5.10-radxa-zero-latest

As for HDMI audio not working, this is a known issue. Still work on it.

Any word on HDMI audio working. I’m using Debian from the wiki but only thing I’ve been waiting for now is HDMI audio to work
