Iā€™m trying to get audio to work on Redrix on NixOS but only Pro Audio shows up (not ā€œDefaultā€). This is my configs: nix-info - Google Drive. Any suggestions?

Donā€™t do ucm like that, itā€™s just more complicated that necessary. Refer to this for instructions on properly creating a ucm package Please package my chromebook ucm properly Ā· Issue #11006 Ā· batocera-linux/batocera.linux Ā· GitHub

So for SOF all I have to do is replace the upstream alsa-ucm-conf with upstream combined with GitHub - WeirdTreeThing/alsa-ucm-conf-cros at standalone? Iā€™m confused because it seems like the only difference is that yours has mt8183. Are there changes to the main branch of upstream that arenā€™t part of NixOS packages yet?

Actually I think I was trying to compare your branch with the upstream main but your branch had re-created files so yours actually has Chromebook stuff that the GitHub comparison wasnā€™t showing me.

Also surprisingly on both jinlon and Redrix audio works out of the box if I select ā€œPro Audioā€ instead of ā€œOffā€. There are a bunch of extra non-functioning speakers and mics but functionally I donā€™t notice a difference between ā€œPro Audioā€ without running the audio script and ā€œDefaultā€ after running the audio script.

UPDATE: There is a solution: Help with avoiding 50gb worth of rebuils - #15 by ChocolateLoverRaj - Help - NixOS Discourse. Iā€™m going to switch to NixOS now :grinning:.
