Got the full SOF Intel audio running!

Here you can post about your various experiences with PC hardware. You can also post about hardware that is not compatible with the linux kernel or not recommended for use with Porteus.

Got the full SOF Intel audio running!

Got my Porteus 5.1 Alpha2 and PorteuX-current with full SOF audio on the internal Intel audio chips, rather than just the generic headphone output!

I discovered this by accident. Depending on how my Intel NUC6 feels at the time, it will come up with either Dummy or a Generic 2-ch headphone audio output. That's all I use, so I'm cool, but an hour ago, it fired up with SOF Audio automatically detected. But only once. I didn't know! So I'm forcing it now.

Very simply, a kernel cheatcode was used at boot, and later on the APPEND line. (later I placed it into my stick's /boot/syslinux/porteus.cfg when it works and sticks.) :

Code: Select all

snd_intel_dspcfg.dsp_driver=3
NOTE: I used all-UNDERscores here, and it worked fine. I've seen it referenced with hyphens too, but haven't tried that. I've seen a mix of both in this kernel paramater command. Just sayin' all underscores works for me.
That's a UNIX book - cool. -Garth
