ALSA audio not working #59

HI there, barmani!

This is a great project, and I have been testing it this weekend with great pleasure! However, I can't seem to get the Pi audio working. I installed alsa-utils, but alsamixer did not detect a mixer. So I went and manually loaded snd-bcm2835 with modprobe. Again, no mixer available... So, no audio on Pi64? What about the Broadcom 3D driver? Is that supposed to work? (Not VC4 but the Broadcom driver)

I have the same issue. The problem is that the user by default isen't in the sound group, thus doesn't have permissions to play, record or list the audio devices. You need to add the user to the audio group. sudo adduser <username> <groupname> In my case is: sudo adduser pi audio

After adding the user, to apply the changes, you need to restart or log out and log in.
