Hello all. I'm very new to the tinkerboard and im having problems with the 3.5mm headphone jack and audio.
I basically get nothing. tried using youtube videos as a source for the audio.
I think Pulse audio fixed the problem when i fiddled with it once. The problem with that though is I can only get pulse audio to launch once out of every 50 tries. every other time it just says "Establishing connection to PulseAudio. Please wait...". and that one time I did get it to work and fixed the audio issue, it went back to no audio when I rebooted.
Not sure what if its the board itself or the program.
Any help would be appreciated.

What OS and version have you installed?
Are you using a 5v 3amp power supply?
Are you using a fan?
Reinstall the OS. Maybe a glitch.
Install another OS like Armbian.
ASUS is high quality components. Small chance it could be hardware defect.
1 Run an audio mp3
2 Go to PulseAudio>Playback look for the player sound level and make sure Head Set is selected
3 Go to PulseAudio>Configuration Make sure rockchip codec is Analog Stereo Output

Hi Thanks for getting back to me. I honestly don't know the OS installed it was part of a package that came with retropie. Other users installed the same package and don't have issues.
No fan is being used.
I will try reinstalling the OS again.
Can you point me to where the version number is located so I can provide those details in the future?
Thanks

Here is your choices.

I recomment TinkerOSplus v2.0.4 Mikerr's at the bottom.
Armbian is a good one. All 3 video players don't work. I don't know why.
I prefer TOS at this time.
Another thing. Make sure the audio plug is pushed in all the way. It may not be. Does happen.
Note: After installing you have to run the Tinker-config to get all your microSD space back.
Remember this.
sudo tinker-config
advanced options
expand filesystem
Shutdown

thanks for all this info. Any idea why pulse audio is "waiting to establish connection"? Is it looking for a server or something? seems weird to me that an audio setting program needs to connect to a server to work

I don't know why. I don't know about retropi.
Maybe a glitch and reinstalling. I just think it's programmers need to look at it in retropi.
Other than that I don't know.
You can wait for another response.
looks like it WAS an install glitch. formatted the sd card and reinstalled. works as it should now
so can any tell simply how to get audio from this 3.5mm jack, out post lot spam just simply for new one and some admin to lock on front page pls
