New Zynthian build from kit -- No sound, wifi doesn't work

Building Zynthian

Hi @gatesphere!

  1. What SD image are you using? Can you specify the full filename?

  2. Have you updated the software after burning the SD?

  3. Are you using the RCA or the Jack connectors? Have you tried disconnecting the on-board 3-pin audio connector?

  4. Have you tried to adjust the output levels with “alsamixer”? Normally it’s not needed but it could help …

  5. etc

And i could follow … but i’m pretty sure you already did most of that …

The real question here is that if the soundcard is correctly configured and everything is working OK without errors (check the system log with journalctl), it seems like the DAC+ audio output being broken. Perhaps you overheat the card when soldering or you shortcutted something…

Regarding the WIFI problem, a software update should solve the problem. If not, try reading this post:
