Use Audiojack instead of HDMI audio

Why start new topic on this? All info is in Check the http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=807

If you are referring to the thread I started it was early on in the age of this thread. I was aiming for a different goal. While pictus and I were trying to get our own audio working with support from longsleep, I was also looking for a simplified and standard way to see if lenny had a suggestion. Something that could be stickied where users may not have to follow through all the troubleshooting steps. Not trying to make clutter or slight anyone just tryng to get another source of input.

Try playing something directly to alsa. I often have bad experience with pulse audio and multiple audio cards


for example:

mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw=1.0  some_audio_or_vide_file.mp4

also for volume manipulation check alsamixer from the console. With F6 key you can select cards, and with key M you can mute unmute channels.

For myself when I tried this with an mp3 it acted like it was playing but no output over the headphone jack. 

Code:
