[AudioI] AudioInjector Zero Pi HAT not working with raspbian bullseye?

Wed Dec 15 11:32:54 UTC 2021

I can see from the dmsg dump that the wm8731 codec was probed, this is good. It can see the I2C line to the soundcard and the chip dangling on the end of it.

>From this we know that the problem is not at the codec level or hardware, but most likely a higher level misconfiguration OR a driver misconfiguration.

For some reason the sound card's machine driver seems that it is having trouble in the ASLA subsystem, possibly with the i2s driver.

Have you tried to disable the vc4hdmi driver, just to double check there are no conflicts ?

Hi,

I am unable to get my audioInjector zero HAT running on my pi zero w
with raspbian bullseye (lite) - I'm trying to use it for RCA line
input, and it doesn't even appear as an audio device to the likes of
aplay (not initialized properly, it appears from dmesg). Pulseaudio
doesn't seem to be a factor (not running or even installed). What
additional diagnostics might I gather to figure out why it is not
working? What does the evidence below suggest is the fix?

Thanks,
Guy

I started out following the github site directions that said to run:

# wget https://github.com/Audio-Injector/stereo-and-zero/raw/master/audio.injector.scripts_0.1-1_all.deb
# apt install audio.injector.scripts_0.1-1_all.deb
# audioInjector-setup.sh

Then followed a few suggestions from posts about getting the audioinjector zero to work that showed minor augments to configuration files.

It seems odd to me that bcm2835 modules are loaded when the config.txt says this only happens when the given line is uncommented, but aplay has indications that this is not fully initialized/functional either; although partially visible as a device.
