Re: [PD] Multiple audio outputs on a single-board computer ?

Hi,
this is crap by design! 
  This is a hack that cannot work reliably, the channels are not
  synchronized between the I2S port and the FPGA, sometimes they
  mix.
  And the card is not always recognized during boot, you must reboot
  until it is detected.

Hello,
  
  
  I bought one octo for a project thanks to Thomas experience,
  
  It worked great at home when I plugged it on my mix table, but
  when I install everything in the project final destination, plug
  the sound-card on an amplifier, switch everything on: the sound
  card did not works anymore.
  
  I tried to contact someone at audioinjector, but I hardly have
  answer to my question. IT'S THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!
  
  It's been 2 week, my project is on standby, I'm still stuck with a
  broken sound card.
  
  So I don't recommend this soundcard to anyone and I consider
  buying a gigaport instead and throw this crap away.
  
  
  unless someone have a suggestion to a cheaper 8 output soundcard
  for a RPI 4.

Dear all,
  
  
  I haven't posted anything on this list in years.
  
  I'm trying to build a system to play several sound files

  "several" I
  
  mean 10 to 15 different files. While I'd have no problem

  could use. I
  
  have a limited budget, and I was planning on running Pd on
  a Raspberry
  
  Pi (or similar single-board computer).
  
  
  Is there any cheap way of outputing than many channels
  from a single
  
  (a couple of) RPi ?
  


How many are 'many' :-)


If it's <= 8 channels and you don't care (too much) about
latency you

could check out a cheap '7.1' USB card (these can cost less
than 30 euro

online) and if it exposes 8 writable inputs via jack that
could work.

The physical outputs of these are, of course, unbalanced and
in couples

so you'd need to do some cable splitting and then maybe have
a mixer

nearby...

I never did this on the RPi but I _did_ something similar
with a cheap

5.1 usb sound blaster hooked to a laptop in the past.

I'm assuming, of course that each file would 'consume' just
1 channel...


YMMV.


If you want more than 8 output channels it will be hard to
stay 'cheap'

(which of course depends on 'how much' is your limited
budget), and then

- of course - you need to check linux compatibility (i.e. if
they are

'class compliant'...)


My two cents,


Lorenzo.

Re: [PD] sad news: RIP Martin Peach

[Dan Wilcox]

I will chime and say the same. I *think* I met him at the PdCon in Montreal and 
I was already using his osc objects for a year by then. Everything else was 
online and overall helpful.

Thanks for the code, the feedback, and all the fish. RIP mrpeach

Re: [PD] Start Pd 0.51-4 without internet connection

Something is weird with your system. In general, localhost should *always* be 
available.

What happens when you run the following in Terminal with wifi off? Press CTRL+C 
to stop once it's running.

ping localhost

Re: [PD] Start Pd 0.51-4 without internet connection

I believe it's a macOS system but the suggestion is still useful. If there is a 
firewall or application like Little Snitch running, it should add Pd to the 
whitelist otherwise the Pd core cannot communicate with the Pd GUI.

Re: [PD] Start Pd 0.51-4 without internet connection

[hans w. koch]

> /Applications/Pd-0.51-4.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd ; exit;
seems to indicate, that this is on mac.
not wanting to allege anything, but there once was a hack to the hostconfig 
file to prevent a pirated copy of adobe from phoning home.
i´ve had people in workshops, who were unable to launch pd because they had 
applied this hack overzealous and nuked localhost altogether.

@maurice, i´d suggest to use finder to navigate to /etc (go to folder) and look 
up the host file.
on my mac mojave it looks like this:
##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1   localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost 

hope this helps
hans
