Dear all
Im triyng to use the SGTL5000 module developed for sunxi-linux (ubuntu distribution) but it is not register as sound card. The board is a custom board similar to micro-olinuxino but with a sgtl5000 codec.

I can detect the codec with "i2cdetect 1" in the direction 0x0a

When I run aplay -l the sgtl5000 do not appear. ¿What I need to use the codec as sound card?

Thank you very much

Best regards

The driver is probably not present in the default images, so you will need to build a custom kernel and enable it in Device Drivers/Sound card support/Advanced Linux Sound Architecture/ALSA for SoC audio support/CODEC drivers/Freescale SGTL5000 CODEC (option SND_SOC_SGTL5000).

Dear MBR,

I build my custom kernel and added it. The problem is that it do not appear as sound card.

Did you loaded all required ALSA modules? And what did the kernel say when the module is loaded?
