Hey, everyone. This seems distinctly in the "my problem" bucket, but I was hoping anyone might have some assistance on why I might suddenly have no audio on my DAC+.
System is a Raspberry Pi 4 4gb, running Ubuntu 20.10 64 bit. Up until a few days ago, audio was working just fine, and now I get no audio out at all. The HiFiBerry is detected okay, shows up in alsamixer, has volume, but no audio comes out at all. Thinking it was my receiver, I ran the line out to another known working device, and nothing. Thinking my hat died, I grabbed a hifiberryos image, and audio is coming out just fine, so something changed on this specific instance, and I'm wondering if there's anything I can check to improve it, or if I just need to separate my audio duties to another Pi.
Already attempted a rollback to 5.8.0-1006-raspi from 5.8.0-1007-raspi, with no change.
Audio out is being tested with mplayer, speaker-test, and librespot, with the same results. Literally everything looks like it's playing -- no errors from the system during playback, green LED lights up on the hifiberry, there's just literally no sound while booted into this system.
