[alsa-devel] [Fwd: Re: Davinci ASoC support (patch)]

[lokowich]

Forwarded from davinci-linux-open-source list:

I've built this ASoC patch into my DaVinci git kernel (thanks for the 
SENSORS tip), and can use aplay and speaker-test, but no sound.  Figured 
it may be a mixer/volume control issue, but the alsamixer is unable to 
open for a failed ioctl on USBDEVFS_IOCTL.  Not sure why there is a USB 
dependency.  Noted that there is no /sys/class/sound/mixer in my sysfs.  
Any ideas?
