Symptom	Resolution
ALSA
aplay: pcm_write:2030: write error: Input/output error	This error occurs on an audio playback, when audio samples are not output. A possible cause is a wrong configuration of the audio interface: - DAI gpios not activated: missing in DT or in bad state - DAI/codec not clocked: kernel/master clock not enabled Refer to Soundcard configuration
Error -16 setting sai_ck parent clock. Active stream rates conflict	The two SAI sub blocks which are connected to the audio codec, share their master clock on Disco and Evaluation boards. When running both capture and playback on the codec, the chosen sampling rates must be multiple of each other, because of this dependency. If sampling rates are not compatible, an error is issued.
Miscellaneous
Silence is recorded from headset microphone.	The following points have to be checked: - The headset jack must be compatible with CTIA standard. - Check volumes and mute switches in record path. (ALSA control configuration and Pulseaudio settings) - Check that the codec is fed with master clock.
