I am facing issues with sound. I have connected my headphone in the audio jack but it doesn’t play a thing. Can anyone help please?

Hello. The source code for the 5.10 kernel appeared on git (https://github.com/yourwificz/BPI-M4-bsp/tree/5.10.y), which supports the realtek chip for bpi4. I compiled it but could not figure out how to configure the loader so that the assembly is loaded. Could you, with your experience, make a ready-made SD/eMMC image for bpi4? This should bring the board back to life - I’m going to put a Klipper with it.
