[PATCH v2] arm64: dts: rockchip: Enables sound output from the audio jack on OrangePI5 Plus

[Hide Hako]

Currently, analog sound is not output from the audio jack.
This patch allows you to select analog headphones in alsamixer.
Works with kernel 6.16.1, but not 6.17-rc1.

Points of concern:
6.16.1 kernel with ubuntu 25.04 Setting -> Sound -> Output Device
 I select Speakers Built-in Audio, the sound will be output from the audio jack.

Changes since v1:
- As pointed out by Jimmy, the file to be modified has been changed
  from rk3588-orangepi-5.dtsi to rk3588-orangepi-5-plus.dts.

I recommend rebasing on the latest next since my fix [1] was applied.
I also recommend testing it with that patch, for me that fixed the 
headphone detection and enabled audio playback. The microphone is not 
working yet though.

But sound not come out from headphone.

If you test the 6.17 kernel after using the 6.16 kernel, sound will be 
output. Try building and testing in an environment with only the 6.17 
kernel.

Or is it okay to use the JMB582 "M.2" nvme-sata 3.0 expansion card to 
connect a 2.5-inch SSD?
This makes disk swapping easy and convenient.

Is that with your patch applied ontop or unchanged linux-next? The audio 
was very quiet for me, even at 100%.

I am not quite sure what you mean here.

With pin-switch patch.

Analog, hdmi0 and hdmi1 do not exist in /proc/asound/.

All of what Maud said, but also I think this deserves some

Fixes: 236d225e1ee7 ("arm64: dts: rockchip: Add board device tree for rk3588-orangepi-5-plus")

tag + could do the subject as 
  "arm64: dts: rockchip: Fix sound output from the audio jack on OrangePI5 Plus"

because this really sounds like it fixes functionality to is supposed
to be working :-)


Thanks a lot
Heiko
