Hi Frank, Is there a version number we should be looking for where the problem exists (or ceases to exist)? Will be very helpful when supporting others. See below, there may be some specific

Hi Jonathan, You are the MAN! You managed to reproduce the problem that NW Digital denies exits and have a work around! All the people that say you do not need the dtoverlay= line in config.txt

Great write-up, Mike! Thanks so much for putting that all together in one summary. FYI, I am still using the "draws_beta13.zip" image from http://nwdig.net/downloads/ on a Pi 3 B+ connected to an

Hi Jonathan, all. I'm puzzled by your "dtoverlay=" observation as that certainly was not required on either my Pi3 or Pi4 running the same Buster image. I wonder if some of the confusion has to do

I'm sorry Jonathan, You did show the showudrc and it shows some of the modules, and the /boot/config.txt. If could show all the modules the sudo lsmod and the /etc/modules file that would be

Hi Basil, Just adding the lines to /boot/config.txt didn't get the tlv modules to load and I could not see the sound card. If I put those lines before the drtparam=audio=-on then aplay -l said there
