Mayfield audio under Lubuntu Focal 20.04 LTS

Mar 22, 2021 - 7:36 AM

  • Hi folks,
    I've had my pi for a year or so and decided it was time to have a go with the Mayfield audio. I'm running a fully-upgraded Lubuntu LTS 20.04 OS.

    I have the full breakout board. I connected a new, tested and verified at 12V, regulated supply to the +12V / GND terminal block on the board, and two speakers to the L and R terminal blocks. I left my original 5V supply connected.

    aplay -l gives:
    **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
    card 0: Audio [Intel HDMI/DP LPE Audio], device 0: HdmiLpeAudio [Intel HDMI/DP LPE Audi]
    Subdevices: 1/1

    card 0: Audio [Intel HDMI/DP LPE Audio], device 1: HdmiLpeAudio [Intel HDMI/DP LPE Audi]

    card 1: Audio_1 [Mayfield Audio], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]

    but sudo speaker-test -D hw:1,0 -c 2 -r 48000 -t sine
    is silent.

    The PulseAudio pavucontrol can see the Mayfield and lets me direct playback to it, but nothing comes out.

    The HDMI audio works fine:
    sudo speaker-test -D hw:0,2 -c 2 -r 48000 -t sine
    gives the expected tones.

    Audio through BlueTooth is also fine.

    ?Do I need to insert a kernel module or something?
    ?Do I need to recompile the kernel?
    ?Am I missing something or doing something wrong?
    ?Failing those, is there some way to perform more debugging?
    Do I need to tinker with the XMOS?

    Any assistance anyone can give will be much appreciated. :-)

    Joy
