Hi All,
I've just installed Ubuntu Xenial on my Pine64 board.
Everything is fine except the HDMI output.
I can't see the top bar (and probably some pixels even from the other sides).
I've digged the net looking for a solution.
It seems to be related to overscan.
My TV doesn't have an overscan option to enable/disable.

Is there any way to fix this problem via terminal?
I've played with xrandr but I always get an error.

Any suggestion could be helpful!

Thanks
Luca

Hi guys, i've installed longsleep ubuntu image bspkernel and i'm able to use 3,5 mm jack for audio but i can't use microphone. If i type arecord -l i get this:

I don't know which are the setting in alsamixer to make it working. Can you help me?

The Mali driver has been finally released. I tried to install all the ways I knew how. Has anybody installed it yet?

Why is it that the Backers had the choice to purchase imaged SD cards and we have to do that ourselves.

I received my shipment 2 weeks ago and was missing one of the boards. I emailed and Facebook messaged but i have not yet received a reply.

What can you tell us about the LED holes on the A64-DB-2G-Rev B board?

What are the power draw limits on the two pairs? Are they already set to indicate anything in particular (e.g. power, r/w)?

First of all, hello. My Pine64's (x3; 2GB wifi?BT models) arrived yesterday! and I can't seem to get HDMI output (initially I thought the devices were not booting so the info below reflects my booting attempts)

I have tested x2 Pine64's to no avail
          a) Pine 64 2GB, wifi/BT module not installed
          b) No other peripherals connected (ie. keyboard or wired network)
          c) Used generic (fully tested) 8GB microSD cards, as well as 16GB ADATA microSD cards
          d) Used supplied power supplies, as well as 2.1amp USB outlet based adapters (Targus & Philips; reputable quality that work perfectly with higher amperage requiring devices such as tablets and other SoC's).
          e) Tested on LG 49UB8200 and LG 65UB9300 (both are 4K units); Also tried Onkyo TX-NR636 to pass HDMI through to 65UB9300.
          f) Also tested on HDMI capture card (1080p resolution limit).
          g) Used PhoenixCard 3.1.0 for phoenix based images, and Rufus and imageUSB for DD images (images from http://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/Pine_A6...re_Release and use of PhoenixCard and Rufus based upon http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=1146)
          h) each time allowed 5-10 minutes to elapse once plugged in - only red LED was on with no other feedback from Pine64 nor televisions/receiver
          i) good quality HDMI cables with no previous issues with 3D use.
          j) I handled the Pine64's appropriately
          k) files were MD5 checked
          l) used 2 different Win7Pro units for writing of images to microSD cards
          m) Tested the following images: android-rooted-ver5.1.1-20160505-pine64-8GB, remix-v2.0-20160415-pine64-16GB, Pinea64_android_lollipop_db1000_20160216, debian-mate-jessie-20160501-lenny.raposo-longsleep-pine64-8GB, remix-v2.0-20160415-pine64-8GB, pine64-image-debianmate-310101bsp

This is not my first endeavor, as I have multiple Raspberry Pi units as well other computers, servers, and an advanced network in use.
After all these attempts the devices have failed to output HDMI.

I cannot think of any further testing that I can perform. The only other monitors that I have access to do not have HDMI inputs and unfortunately HDMI to DVI adapters are known not to work with the Pine64.

Reading some of the threads, one person commented that there are a lot of HDMI issues.
I booted up the OpenHAB microSD (well couldn't really tell if it booted up or not as I had no HDMI output, but as in every case the red LED remained lit) and plugged in the ethernet cable about 5 minutes later and there was network activity (good sign).


I then loaded an android microSD card, and I checked my DHCP server on my router and there was an IP assignment to a new android device!!!!!!!!!!!

So how does one fix this HDMI problem (thinking that this is my most likely problem)?

Thank you.

Does anyone know if USB Audio works with the Android OS? I have a Logitech G930 headset I would like to connect to the Pine. My wireless keyboard and mouse worked as soon as they were plugged in, but the headset's not working. I've seen that people using Samsung Phones have gotten it to work using an OTG connectors. Is there some sort of audio input setting in the OS?

Hi guys, 

I'm trying to run Remix OS via an HDMI on my HDTV. For some reason, the picture ends up being too large and the corners end up running off the side of my TV. I can't find anywhere within the OS that lets you adjust the screen resolution or a way to adjust the screen size.

Has anyone else had this issue? 

Thanks, 
Sean

I was asked to post a picture showing my connections for the LCD touchscreen. Here you go.
