Will also test with headphones again (instead of earphones) to avoid any errors.
Same issue here. Tested under Elementary OS Hera, Fedora 32 and Windows 10 2004.
On all 3 OSs, only the left hand headphone speaker works. Clicking on the right channel produces no sound.
Also confirmed using 2 different sets of headphones/earbuds.
UEFI v. SD-BS-CJ41G-M-101-G
As I posted elsewhere I get no sound at all in Ubuntu 20.04 with a pair of speakers plugged in.
It’s been almost 30 days. Any progress on this or am I to assume the audio out jack just doesn’t work? Is it an engineering blunder? Does anybody at SEEED knows the answer?
Hi,
Exactly the same issue here.
See my reply on this topic here:
Same issue here with my new Odyssey Blue bought from a reseller in UK. I have contacted support.
I now think that the aux connector works. Looks like that the issue is that the headphone’s jack can be pushed too far inside the connector and that cause the audio channel issue. If instead the jack is not fully pushed in then both channels work.
Can someone confirm?
PS: Still Seeedstudio has not confirmed if the aux is TRS audio+ mic or just audio, Seeedstudio can you please confirm?
I decided rather than battling this connector to just get a super-cheap USB audio adapter which has completely solved the problem.
Could you try to plug the speakers without pushing them fully in - just 1 or mm; if you push the plug in gently you will feel when the sounds starts on both channels.
Thanks!
No improvement with slightly pulling the audio plug. I’ll just stick with the usb-c audio dongle. Works fine and I already had it. I mean it’s a controller in my workshop, so not like audio is a critical feature (I mostly only need it for YouTube videos when the equipment needs tweaking)
Ok - after extensive testing I figured out that both channels work when using a TRS jack (headphones only device). Instead when using a TRRS jack (headphone and mic device) the right channel and the mic do not work.
If you get a chance could you see if your jack is TRS or TRRS?
Thanks!
You must be special if it works for you. It makes no difference whether I use a TRS orTRRS plug headphone, only the left channel works. I have a feeling SEEED may have used a mono jack but without a schematic and a jack part number it’s impossible to tell. Of course, SEEED will not come forward with this information or admit they made a mistake. It’s not worth my time to bother with this as SEED won’t respond. I’ll just use the HDMI audio, a USB audio card or a HDMI audio extractor box for sound.
Thank you @jponko ! @jiachenglu: could you please confirm if there are different versions of the Odyssey with a different Aux connector?
Thanks!
OK dudes,
But are all your Odyssey’s inside a blue case ?
Have you all people concerned tested it outside of the case first before doing another hypothesis ?
That point is still not clear to me.
Hi there @jfboss - yes, mine is inside the blue case with Windows pre-installed. I have done my tests on Linux and Windows 10.
Do you think that the case could be the culprit / change things here?
Can you confirm if you have tried a TRS connector?
Thanks!
Mine was connected to my elder Hi-fi system, no mic. That’s all I can say. (inside the blue case - never tested outside). And it has never worked properly, with sound on the left side only.
@jfboss - Thank you. Would you have a photo of your jack?
Does it have 3 or 4 sections?
In my case the one with 3 sections (TRS) works on both channels.
Thanks!
