New WM8960 Soundcard overlay #23

Open shawaj opened 3 years ago

shawaj commented 3 years ago

The wm8960-soundcard overlay has been merged into the RasPi kernel...

https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/pull/4039

Once it gets into the firmware repo (a few days probably):

https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/tree/master/boot/overlays

You should be able to use this board by simply adding dtoverlay=wm8960-soundcard to the /boot/config.txt file.

Now available in the official pi firmware - https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/blob/master/boot/overlays/wm8960-soundcard.dtbo

Hi there. Can you advise how to get this running in Libreelec. I have updated to the latest version but the overlay is not there. Perhaps it is not yet using the latest Kernel? I copied the overlay file and added the line but the device does not show up in the list of audio devices. Would be grateful for any help. Thanks.

Could you please tell us what to add to config.txt I tried the usual dtoverlay=wm8960-soundcard and enabled i2c and i2s but it did not work for kernel 5.10.11.

Edit changed the kernel version from 4 to 5 (mistake!)

I got it working for both the 64bit and 32bit kernels 5.10.11 by looking at issue 24 https://github.com/waveshare/WM8960-Audio-HAT/issues/24

@TobiasVanDyk you'll likely need to be on kernel 5.4.y or above

Thanks - I edited my response I typed kernel 4 by mistake...

@shawaj It seems that the RPi Foundation's 5.10 kernel does not include the wm8960 module anymore. The following command does not return anything on a freshly updated Raspberry:

pi@oggy-pi4:/lib/modules $ find | grep wm8960

@JakubVanek it's because it wasn't compiled by default. Now it is https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/4454 However the codec is likely broken and using it will result in problems with recording sound https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/4384
