Hi,All,

I tried 2 systems, one is oringinal debian from orange pi team, one is Armbian, after installation, I check it with amixer, found the sound card only could works on mono mode. detail please see below,  Does there have some mistake? or H2+ chip could support mono mode for audio output?

Just checked the board circuit diagram, there is no connection for I2S, I checked the Pin PA20, it is NC, so the board  can not used for audio, specially if you want to use I2S interface.
