Hi Paul,
https://www.arcanoae.com/uniaud-audio-driver-package-updated-20210320/
Since AN has done an official release, does that mean we are at a somewhat "settled/stable" code base?
I ask b/c if you recall I kept on running into boot hang issues. Those went away with the uniaud32-linux-5.10.11-20210131.zip release, however something else appeared.
I figured I would continue to test to see if maybe I was seeing some side-effect specific to another application, a weird conflict, etc. Well, it turns out the same behaviour has been present with the other remaining releases as well, that being:
1) uniaud32-linux-5.10.17-20210227.zip
2) uniaud32-linux-5.10.20-20210305.zip
The same symptom is present in the AN release, but they officially won't work the issue unless you are running AOS as well, so that's a dead end.
Anyways, the problem I am runing into is a complete hard-lock of the system when playing back MP4 videos with mplyer. Haven't narrowed it down any further, it may be a conflict specifically with mplayer, or it may be just the audio driver that's hit during such playback. Each time it requires a power OFF/ON fix, so I'm reluctant to continue to troubleshoot in the dark.
Having said that, on my hardware platform the last good working driver is uniaud32-linux-3.16.85-20200812.zip, so I will continue to use that as it does not appear to have any functionality shortcomings.
As always, appreciate all the work you've done for us here. If you are willing and want to continue to debug my problem I'm happy to do so, but otherwise if that affects only a small subset of hardware configs out there, we can probably pass.
Here is my hardware config:
