@mohaggag I’m really sorry you’re having so much trouble. It’s got to be frustrating. One thing we keep having trouble with is when pulseaudio is installed on the system. Which is something that is automatic on the full desktop versions of raspbian.
If you aren’t planning on using the desktop on your pi at all, can I suggest that you try using raspbian lite instead of pixel?
The plan is to be able to support other audio engines down the road, which will hopefully have less trouble with pulseaudio. But for now this seems to be the most foolproof solution.
Have you verified your levels and auto-gain in alsamixer? This does not sound like a software issue.
