[alsa-devel] WM8510 on i.MX6

[Schrempf Frieder]

Hi,

I have a board with i.MX6 and a WM8510 codec and I can play audio using 
an old vendor kernel (3.14) and my own asoc machine driver [1].

Now I want to run this with something more recent (currently trying on 
4.14) and upstream drivers like simple-card or fsl-asoc-card.

The problem is I'm only getting a little bit of noise from the speakers 
but nothing more.

I would really appreciate it if someone more knowledgeable could have a 
quick look and maybe come up with some ideas how I can proceed debugging.

Thanks,
Frieder
