On my RockPro64 and see the following output - rockpro64:~$ uname -a Linux rockpro64 5.10.0-6-arm64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.28-1 (2021-04-09) aarch64 GNU/Linux rockpro64:~$ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: hdmisound [hdmi-sound], device 0: ff8a0000.i2s-i2s-hifi i2s-hifi-0 [ff8a0000.i2s-i2s-hifi i2s-hifi-0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 rockpro64:~$ grep SND_AUDIO /boot/config-5.10.0-6-arm64 # CONFIG_SND_AUDIO_GRAPH_CARD is not set It seems the config doesn't need enabling for sound on this device at least. Hope this helps. Punit
