Source: linux
Version: 5.14-1~exp1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
In kernel 5.13 on my Rock64, `pactl list cards` correctly identified my
AVR (SC-1224) and had various multichannel audio profiles I could choose from.
Since kernel 5.14, `paclt list cards` no longer identifies my AVR and I
only have stereo audio profiles.
I've build and tested various kernel versions myself based off commit
e4e2aea3e840406042537c5ef4970d9e8560a103 (Merge branch 'rockchip-spdif'
into 'master') which has all needed audio modules (afaik) enabled for
Rock64.
The 5.13.12-1~exp2 is slightly older and therefor misses the SPDIF card.
I used the same dtb in all the test, which is build from 5.14.6, and I've
kept all other software at the same sofware versions, so it wouldn't affect
the results.
I think that means the only (real) change is the upstream source code.
Output of `uname -a` and `pactl list cards` on the various kernels:
