no sound on android

[ogs]

hi everyone, i flashed and installed android on my 16GB sandisk card.. so far everything's smooth.  I even installed Nova Launcher. So i decided to test video quality, only problem is, no sound is coming out of the speaker I plugged in. I tried different speakers, and even tried my headphones and earphones - but still no sound, despite having set the volume to max. Can anyone help?  

thank you.

Have you already gone to Settings.HDMI and Audio_Source.Audio Output and set it to HeadSet? Sometimes it don't stay in this setting and you must open again to check.

hi lobo,

i did that, but still no sound was coming out of my speakers. i find this odd, since i installed tinkeros on a separate sd card - where there was sound output coming from the audio port. i also tried reflashing the android os, btw for context i'm using the latest image of android M from the asus website, ( V13.14.0.95 ). however, audio was present for HDMI (tried it on a screen w/ speakers and it worked).... but still i wish to utilize the sound port.

Hi ogs,

Maybe you can try use adb tool to set the property,

Following below steps:
--------------------------------------------
adb connect "your TinkerBoard ip"
adb shell
setprop persist.audio.output 2
--------------------------------------------

And try to play your music again, check whether the sound is coming from the Headset port?

YES. finally it's working.. will do more tests for now.. i hope this is a permanent fix.. (meaning i don't have to adb connect to the tb from time to time to re-setprop)..

for everyone having this same problem @Ewan 's solution worked for me. ^ thanks~!

For everyone who's confused w/ the steps, adb - stands for android debug bridge. adb along with certain commands (and parameters if needed) are needed to interact in an SSH-like manner to your android running on tinkerboard.

Hello there

I have the opposite problem: sound is on jack but not on HDMI. I tried to set persist.audio.output to 1, not I don't have sound at all, not even on jack - then discovered on the Audio Output menu that it went on SPDIF.

I've noticed that when in HDMI mode, my TV keeps displaying the OSD showing the HDMI port in use, as when the resolution changed - but I don't see any changes there.

I've tried with my home theatre (Onkyo receiver) and I still don't have sound.

Any help?

Edit: please ignore, I have tried Debian and I don't have sound there either. I'll repost on a generic forum.
