No sound from Allo Piano 1.1 dac with PiCore player

January 22, 2018, 2:40 pm

I have a new setup with Picoreplayer 3.22 (audio version). Hardwares are Raspberry Pi 3, Allo Piano DAC 1.1. So far no sound from DAC. But sound works through RPi. Everything works within PiCoreplayer until the dac is selected in the Squeezelite setting, then Squeezelite does not start.
So is it hardware or software?
#Hardware: can it be the Raspberry? Are gpio test an accurate way to diagnose the gpio pin problem? Does Raspberry pi have a test available for users to check the hardware function? Does the Allo Piano 1.1 require special firmware or settings within PiCoreplayer?
#Software: dmesg saids, “pcm512x 1-004c: Failed to reset device: -127”

Anyone have the same hardwares and PiCoreplayer 3.22? And DAC sound works?

All info would be appreciated.

PiCorePlayer 3.22 Music Library Backup Problem

Hello everyone,

Excuse me if the problem has already been raised but I did not find the solution on the forum.

My installation: USB keys --> Raspberry Pi 3 (PiCorePlayer 3.22) --> Alientek D8 XMOS USB --> Q acoustics 3020

Problem: Every time I restart my Raspberry Pi 3, I have to re-synchronize all my music from my USB keys to my LMS (which is based on my RPI3), redo my favorites, etc...
It's like there's a backup problem.

Do you know where that might be coming from? And how do I fix this problem?

Thank you very much!

dealing with Windows and other music players (JRiver, Teac HR, Foobar, etc.) there are usually 2 places where adjust the ASIO buffer settings: in the ASIO driver of the DAC and in the player program.

Is the same in Linux \ pCP running on a Rpi3 ? or not?
If yes... where?

Volume setting for Allo Boss

Hi,

Last night I put together a new player, a Raspberry Pi 3 with Allo Boss DAC, running piCorePlayer. The plan was for this to be a small player that would feed an Audio Pro Addon T3 in the bedroom or study. This would be a nice compact player giving decent enough sound for casual listening.

I was a little short of time after putting the case together (should have watched the video properly rather than assuming I could just fudge my way through) so I quickly hooked it into my main system to check it was all working.

The main system is an SB3 -> analogue out to Onkyo A 9010 amp -> KEF LS50 speakers

Therefore the pi + Allo Boss was a simple drop in replacement for the SB3.

It turns out (to my ears anyway) the pi + Allo Boss combination outshone the SB3! It's now going to be the source for my main system with the SB3 relegated to feed the T3.

One question I do have, with the SB3 I always set volume to 100% and let the amp take care of volume adjustment. Should I be doing the same with the Allo Boss to give the cleanest output or am I better finding a volume sweet spot for the Allo Boss (around say 75%)?

Cheers

Bringing back the SB's ethernet bridging feature on a Pi 3...

February 3, 2018, 3:44 am

Remember when your SB player could channel LAN access from wifi over to its ethernet port?

Recently I needed a Pi3 that would drop in any LAN and start OpenVPN bridging with a remote server. The server used an anonymous bridge (=no IP address) to prevent any risk of subnet clash. The Pi3 client was running piCore (was it v. 9.0.3?)

Over at the Raspberry Pi forums there are waves of people wanting to bridge their LAN through a Pi 3 connected over wifi. Tired of endlessly repeating "you can't do that", I decided to post a setup that would make use of an anonymous bridge and OpenVPN to tunnel an L2 bridge over the wifi link.
In other words, a virtual 2-port switch: one port plugged to the main LAN, the other plugged to a remote physical segment, and a wifi client connection as switching fabric (ouch!)

The setup I posted uses Raspbian on the Pi, but I know for a fact it works with piCore, hence piCorePlayer (just dispense with the dhcpcd silliness).
For the server side I believe any platform capable of bridging and running OpenVPN will do, e.g. your LMS server machine.
While testing for robustness and latency I did put an SB3 behind the Pi and sync it with other LAN players in the same room. That worked nicely indeed, thanks to LMS and slimproto.
On the Pi the openvpn process uses little CPU, system load averages to 0.7 under heavy use (multiple video streams+music).
So perhaps this setup could be of use to some here.

And if you're thinking "Now, why would I do that?", let me just say it's one of those things: if you have to ask, it's not for you. I'm not doing that either ;)

Transporter clicking on/off with picoreplayer

February 3, 2018, 11:25 am

I have an issue that I'm looking for some advice on. I recently configued an RPi with picoreplayer running LMS. I have a Transporter that I use with this setup. I just did this, so versions are current (picoreplayer is 3.22; I believe that's LMS 7.9.1; and it's an RPi 3).

Everything operates well, except that, when I turn the Transporter off, I can hear and see it click very quickly on and off. This occurs maybe every couple minutes or so. The RPi and picoreplayer are "on" of course. I've not assumed or planned to shutdown the RPi when I'm not using it. I can't think of or find a setting anywhere that might get this behavior to stop.

any suggestions?

I do have a Pi Zero with an amp hat and pCP set up which I use with a
pair of old speakers. All USB powered :-). Which means, you can't blow
your house, but it's loud enough for my home office. And if you want
more output, you can hook up a power supply to that amp (JustBoom Amp
Zero pHAT)

LMS on Ubuntu 16.04? (and sometimes 18.04?)

Well... there's the difference: the U3 is not an ordinary PC, but an ARM
CPU based single board computer (similar to the Raspberry Pi).

I'm a bit curious about this, but I've never used 802.11s in any capacity.
It looks like RPI3 and its integrated wifi adapter would support it? (Hum. I don't think it does in fact.)

MusicIP on Raspberry Pi

February 7, 2018, 6:44 am

I'm looking for some instructions for how to install MusicIP on my raspberry pi. I recently configured this, so have a RPi 3, running picoreplayer (3.22) as an LMS server, with my music on a USB drive mounted to the RPi. All is working well. However, I'd like to install and run MusicIP with SugarCube. With all the changes over the years, the various posts/instructions on how to do this are pretty confusing, and I suspect not current. My guess is that I need to access the RPi via PuTTY, install a Linux version of MusicIP, and then enable plugins in LMS. But I'm not clear about how my music gets fingerprinted (whether on the fly with the headless MusicIP, or separately on a PC using the MusicIP GUI), or how to make sure MusicIP will be started on reboots of the RPi/LSM.

Any help and guidance would be appreciated. btw, I have an older post over on 3d Party hardware, but my original question there has changed and I'm not sure that's the correct place to pose the question. So, I'm trying here!

Vortexbox 2.4 install problem

February 8, 2018, 12:54 pm

Hi all,
I'm trying to upgrade my VB 2.3 running on an old 32 bit machine to 2.4 running on a HP AMD Dual Core Mini Silent PC (ex thin client), 4GB RAM, 16GB SSD, USB3 3TB Drive for the music.
I have successfully installed LUBUNTU on it so I know it should be possible. However I am having problems creating a bootable USB stick following the wiki on the vortexbox site. I'm using a Ubuntu Mate laptop to create the USB Image.

1. I can follow the wiki in a terminal running as root (sudo -i) on Ubuntu Mate all the way to step 3 which fails at the
./makeboot.sh /dev/sdb1 with the error permission denied. This is because makeboot.sh is not executable I think and i can't change it with chmod as it's fat32.
So I can't boot from it.

2. I have tried running the windows makeboot utility under windows but the target PC doesn't recognise it as a bootable media.

3. I have tried burning the ISO image to the USB but that isn't recognised either,

4. I tried skipping step 3 from the wiki and running accessories>disks from the GUI and setting the USB to bootable there. This appeared to work but the target machine failed it's post and just gave a continuous beep-beep until I powered it off.

Here is the terminal output that I get for info..

Switching audio output / Changes are not being saved to config (piCorePlayer v3.11)

I can get my DAC running (Meridian Director) and music library working but the changes are not saved when rebooting. Upon further inspection it seems to be that none of changes are being saved.

If I change the output to USB to work with my DAC, before reboot the about page reads:
OUTPUT="front:CARD=DAC,DEV=0"
..but after reboot this goes back to analog output with OUTPUT="hw:CARD=ALSA"

I am using a USB SSD drive in addition to USB DAC with music on, I can get both music access through LMS and DAC working but when I do none of my changes are saved for some reason.

I have also tried just changing the name of the mount point for the drive and these changes are not being saved either. So I think nothing is being saved.

Sooo close :-)

here is what I am using:
piCorePlayer | piCorePlayer v3.11 | linux 4.4.39-pcpAudioCore_v7+ | piCore v8.0 | Squeezelite v1.8.6-830

I am testing Ubuntu 18.04 with LMS on a virtual box on my Linux Mint PC. When I start LMS on Virtual Box it finds the music folder (where there is one test file) and then I am able to choose a player. At this point the music directory suddenly becomes my Music(45,000 files) on the Mint install and it seems to be using the LMS install on the main PC not the virtual box install. How do I get LMS to just use the virtual box install?

Edit: it is not finding my players for some reason (it is initially finding the players associated with the Mint Install and then these disappear

hello All,

one of my SBs, a white SB3 with the old logo SlimDevices, died yesterday and I'm very sad.

Last time it was seen alive, it was frantically rebooting each time it tried to play something.

I tried reviving it pressing +/1 on the remote, but no, nothing worked.

Still, I cannot believe it is finished..

The power adapter reads 5.25 volts, so it should not be responsible.

Is there anything inside worth checking? a fuse?

thanks for reading,

Hi everybody,

I have a Synology DS216 SE on which the logitech server is installed. And also there are 8 players on the raspberry Pi. The problem is that most players sometimes disappear and they do not appear in the list of players. Appear after rebooting the players. And another problem with adding songs to playlist, when I select a folder and click on the add button, they are added after 10-20 seconds or are not added at all. Help to solve the problem please.
