bookworm vs trixie discussion for mobian in pinephone regular.

[anonymous]

Thank you. Now, the internal speaker does no longer work (once again). I had the same problem with the headphone but using alsamixer helped.

Please can someone show me working alsamixer settings so that I can compare them with mine to find the culprit?

P.S: I've just solved my problem, enter "alsamixer -D hw:0", press m to unmute a channel, unmute both "Line out" and "DAC", the Debian wiki gave me the hint:
https://wiki.debian.org/AlsaMixer

I still get occasional crashes when playing videos in Mozilla Firefox. The internal speaker works but when I increase or decrease the volume, there's no immediate audio feedback whereas it still works with the internal earpiece.

If you have the same sound problem than me under Mobian Bookworm, unmuting some channels will be less dangerous than switching to Mobian Trixie.

P.S: I reproduce the freeze by using the command named "play" on a simple MP3 file, VLC and Lollypop freeze too.

Hello

I don't reproduce the freeze with the command named "play" but Mozilla Firefox still occasionally crashes when playing a video.

Yesterday, I found how to fix the audio feedback on the internal speaker when increasing and decreasing the volume, wrong default settings seem to be applied when choosing the internal speaker as the output device, "Line out Source" gets switched to "Stereo" instead of "Mono Differential" (main root cause, breaks the feedback) and "ADC Digital DAC" is unmuted (causes a nasty noise) whereas it should remain muted. I have to manually set the correct values each time the output device changes, which is cumbersome. I'll try to modify the faulty default settings.

I've been trying to fix mine for months... you've just helped me get a lot closer to fixing it!!!

What number values do you have on your settings, if you don't mind me asking? When I try to unmute Mic 1 I get loud static, especially if I have the charger plugged in

warning, t64 transition has started to affect trixie/testing.

this makes updating little more difficult. i cannot make any good advises. but manually selecting some t64 packages is basically way to go. program "aptitude" helps.

I provided some tips here: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?...#pid122140

At least with aptitude you can do the following:

Code:

aptitude safe-upgrade <pkg>

Which allows you to (safely) upgrade a specific package you 'need' to upgrade.
And generally: Just read what apt/aptitude is telling you and then use common sense to decide what to do. Remember: N(o) is a valid answer.

I have just done a full upgrade and I can no longer boot Please help me.

if you would be locally (physically) nearby, let's look at it. knowing what is ahead, i think best course of action is to reinstall, and temporarily i suggest other than mobian.

however:
does it boot somewhere? so you can get virtual console, i.e. ctrl-alt-f3. (usb dongle and keyboaard is required)
does it get a internet through wifi? internet is not dependent on gui.
you probably do not have sshd installed, which can be used for remote management.

software "aptitude" helps, but you still need to know some thing about packages and their dependencies.
