We know you are not bacxking the cable bpa! There are undoubtedly some bugs in the Pi kernel but you can hardly expect the foundation to go investing $$$ in this sort of edge case to test a USB cable. Given the price point of a Pi and its stated raison d'etre its just not going to be on the list of expected use cases. WiFi - different matter altogether.

There are a number of "Maybe the USB cable is bad?" posts on various Pi forums.

Yes - the loose +5v wired seemed to be the obvious candidate for a source of problems. The dmesg log seems shows the problem to be initial connection of device. The vendor and device id of the device were not even obtained so the Pi could not even identify what sort of USB device has been attached. So problem is in early stages of connection. There are 4 wires. Two signal wire D+ and D- provide differential signalling. As I understand it, the signals at idle are pulled down by host but when a device connects to host, the device pulls one of them up with a 1.5kOhm resistance. Could there be some problem with this resistance value between Pi and cable ? bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113997 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I would hope that they will investigate this and add as a disclosure on their FAQ page for future customers that may run into the same issue or perhaps they will improve upon next versions of their products if it makes business sense for them to do so.

Good luck with the Return/Exchange. I think Curious has a 30-day full satisfaction period so should be straightforward to send back... This is not the proper place to discuss, but since a window of opportunity opened for a full refund... If you are determined to utilise RPi/PcP, there are great optical HAT solutions. Are you open to using Glass Optical instead of pricey Curious USB cables? http://lifatec.com/toslink2.html If you like pricey cables, there is also the Audioquest Diamond optilink Glass Optical. If your determined for RPi/PcP USB, there may also be another solution. Just not sure of your preferences. I just know optical is reference for Chord DACs. Just ignore if you already have a set preference. Not sure how new you are to the Qutest.

I have zero experience with pcp on the USB side. I only use optical solutions, so just making a suggestion. I wasn't even aware there is a Qutest USB setting. I thought USB Audio is the only option on the dropdown box for USB DACs, so total noob here. My suggestion is try powering on the Qutest with your Macbook. Turn on your RPi. Unplug USB A from Macbook and plug into RPi. I believe Chord DACs need the 5V VBUS (Thin orange cable on your Curious) to initiate a handshake to activate the Qutest. Maybe after activating, if it stays PWR ON, pcp will recognize? Maybe some setting not initiating the handshake? Just hope the Qutest doesn't PWR OFF when you pull out the USB cable.

Re: [slim] Need Help with a Curious USB A to B Cable with Squeezeite Settings
I'm using the USB 2.0 on the Pi and tried both of them but no dice. Ok i read the Curious site FAQ closely this time and will try to go over some of the tips there tomorrow even though some are rather vague in what to do. Will see if I can figure out to log as well as suggested in my rather rudimentary expertise on this at the moment. Appreciate any other suggestions. Both my other USB cables a Vovox Textura and a BBQ Full Rack work perfectly fine with the Pi. Just the Curious looks to be rather finicky but works with the MacBook. scslite's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71427 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113997 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

In my opinion all usb cables are the same, if they are complient with the respective standard Are you using the usb2 or usb 3 sockets on the pi I would suggest a couple of logs to start with, boot and dmesg One set with a certified usb cable (and hopefully working dac) One set with the Curious cable and non working dac Ask Mr Woodland about your problem good luck ronnie Man in a van's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43627 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113997 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Need Help with a Curious USB A to B Cable with Squeezeite Settings
I see their FAQ has something in it that suggests this is a known issue. Also - other content of their FAQ makes me think that this should be in the Audiophiles area. https://curiouscables.com/faq Paul Webster http://dabdig.blogspot.com author of \"now playing\" plugins covering radio france (fip etc), kcrw, supla finland, abc australia, cbc/radio-canada and rte ireland Paul Webster's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=105 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113997 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Need Help with a Curious USB A to B Cable with Squeezeite Settings
Hi all, New to the forum and wanted to see if anyone here has by chance encountered the same issue I'm having with a Curious USB cable. Set up is an RPi4B with latest Picoreplayer via the onboard USB output hooked up to a Chord Qutest DAC. I'm having problems when I plug in a Curious USB cable where under the Squeezlite settings the Qutest is not presenting itself as any of the control options. I only see options for "headphones". If I plug in the Curious cable from my MacBook Air to the DAC it works just fine so it appears the cable is working but not when plugged into the RPi4B. Using another USB or a generic USB cable from the RPi4B to the Qutest I'm able to see the Qutest as hardware options under the Squeezlite settings and can hear audio just fine only when I plug in the Curious is when the DAC is not being detected. Are there specific USB cables that may require different settings than others? I thought all USBs are pretty much the same when it comes to pinouts and wiring? Any help with this is greatly appreciated! scslite's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71427 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113997 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
