Audio Cape on Ubuntu 16.04

[elm...@gmail.com]

Hi everyone,

Relative noob here, but I have a BeagleBone Black and RevA Audio cape working in Debian. I'd like to use it in Ubuntu, but there seems to be some sort of problem, possibly driver related. When I try a speaker test, I hear a quick chirp and:

root@arm:/dev# speaker-test

speaker-test 1.1.0

Playback device is default

Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels

Using 16 octaves of pink noise

Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz)

Buffer size range from 256 to 32768

Period size range from 128 to 16384

Using max buffer size 32768

Periods = 4

Unable to set hw params for playback: No such device

Setting of hwparams failed: No such device

and running aplay -l shows:

root@arm:/dev# aplay -l

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****

card 0: Black [TI BeagleBone Black], device 0: davinci-mcasp.0-i2s-hifi i2s-hifi-0 []

  Subdevices: 1/1

  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

which is different from what I'm used to seeing on the Debian setup. I've compiled the device tree overlay and can load it through the cape manager:

root@arm:/dev# cat /sys/devices/platform/bone_capemgr/slots

 0: PF----  -1 

 1: PF----  -1 

 2: PF----  -1 

 3: PF----  -1 

 5: P-O-L-   0 Override Board Name,00A0,Override Manuf,BB-BONE-AUDI-01

But I still don't see it aplay -l.

Any help or pointers would be much appreciated.
