Audio injector codec board wm8731 bcm2835-i2s 20203000.i2s: I2S SYNC error! raspberry pi b+

Question

I'm using raspberry pi b+ and audio injector codec board wm8731.

I changed in boot/config.txt file and added dtoverlay=audioinjector-wm8731-audio, but after reboot lsmod shows drivers but aplay and arecord are not working.

error like:

 **aplay error:**
aplay: pcm_write:1939: write error: Input/output error

aplay hangs while playing wave file

I'm using 3.5 mm jack with earphone for listening.

Please suggest any way to use audio injector card on raspberry pi b+

Answer 1

I can see that you are using the stereo Audio Injector card and not the Octo 8 channel card. This line :

audioinjector-audio soc:sound: wm8731-hifi <-> 20203000.i2s mapping ok

shows that ALSA has set up your audio injector card correctly. The "I2S SYNC error!" lines are part of the bcm2835 i2s driver and are standard - nothing to worry about.

You should be able to see the audio injector sound card when you type aplay -l Similarly alsamixer will give you the mixer settings and allow you to change them.

If you have onging issues, the Audio Injector cards have a support site forum.audioinjector.net
