What about the voltage levels? Are they within the specs? I had a quick look and it seems that Vdd on the codec has to be within 3.0 .. 3.6V, while the signals you provide rather seem to be in the range of 5V? The absolute maximum ratings say that Vdd must not be greater than 4.0V.
This might indeed be an issue. The clock signals have about 5V level... The data coming from the uC still has 4.2V This might be too much... Stays the question how to lower the voltage properly there... Any suggestions?
This get more and more off-topic for the ALSA community, but ...
For the signals, use a voltage shifter, something like the 74LVC2T45. For Vdd, if you have to provide that to the board, use a proper switching power regulator with low ripple, or an LDO, and care well for blocking.
Also check whether the voltages you applied all the time could have damaged the chip permanently.
