Hi David,

Many thanks. That first command worked and the clients are now able to playback 
the audio :)

Re: [RDD] Playback Problem

[David Klann]

David,

Type this command in a terminal window on the server:

sudo chmod a+rx /var/snd

and see if you can play audio on the clients. If not, you may also need to run
this command on the server:

sudo find /var/snd -type f -exec chmod a+r '{}' ';'

(Best to copy and paste that command into the terminal window to get the
proper quote symbols and spacing.)

Hope this helps!

Re: [RDD] Playback Problem

[David Henderson]

Thanks again for the help :)

Seems it is permissions related as the server displays the contents of the 
folder no problem, but the clients don't:


[rd@rdcl1 ~]$ df -h
Filesystem   Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 24G  3.8G   19G  17% /
tmpfs1.7G   76K  1.7G   1% /dev/shm
/dev/sda3115G   92M  109G   1% /home
10.0.0.130:/var/snd  1.8T  261G  1.5T  15% /var/snd
[rd@rdcl1 ~]$ ls /var/snd
ls: cannot open directory /var/snd: Permission denied
[rd@rdcl1 ~]$

What's the best way to fix this?

Re: [RDD] Sound cards

[Max Kelley]

Hi Fred, all,The 18i20 is a rack-mount unit and has a built-in AC supply which is required for operation... it won't run just from USB. Manual specs +15.5dBu which is just under +20dBm.All I know is that we had tried a usb-powered card in the past from Behringer and the Scarlett definitely blows it away.Regarding the issue mentioned with the card needing a power cycle on reboot, I can't say that we've experienced that at all?Regarding X32, we actually do that setup in our production studio and successfully route Rivendell to our X32 as well through the X-USB interface card... Works great!Max Kelley KC2SPYm...@maxkelley.comwww.maxkelley.com585-653-8883On Aug 21, 2019 11:43, Fred Gleason  wrote:On Wed, 2019-08-21 at 09:55 -0400, Max Kelley wrote:

Curious: how much headroom do you get with those? This has been the big

downside of most USB audio devices I've tested, including those with

balanced I/O: they max out at around 0 dBm. This is largely due to the

limitations of the USB power connection (+5 vdc @ 100 mA max), whereas

a true 'pro' balanced output requires a bipolar +/-15 vdc power supply

to achieve the accustomed headroom of around +20 dBm.



Cheers!

[RDD] Fwd: Sound cards

[Tim Camp]

Greetings,

In the case of the X32 usb interface, it is powered by the same rails as
the console.
According to Music-Tribe the clip point on the x32 usb interface and their
other expansion cards is +16dbm
Interface is 24 bit at whatever sample rate the console is running.
I haven't put it on the test bench, but that spec would put it in line with
the channel inputs on the console
which I guess makes sense.

which the computer recognizes.  


The motherboard may have a serial port that isn't brought out to the back 
panel. Most of the recent motherboards I've seen have had them.



The first time I run any macros that change sources, it works flawlessly. 
But if I run a second macro that changes sources within a couple of minutes,
nothing happens.  Its like there is something hung-up.  


In my experience, USB-serial converters tend to get remapped by the 
operating system. They can show as /dev/ttyUSB0 one moment, and 
/dev/ttyUSB1 the next. The last time I had occasion to use oe, I set up a 
udev rule to give it an alias (e.g. /dev/switcher0) which it retains no 
matter how the OS maps it.



Here is how I have the Serial configured ... 
Serial0 Enabled
TTY Device: /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud Rate: 9600
Parity: None
Data Bits: 8
Stop Bits: 1
Terminator: None


That looks right. Do you have the DIP switches on the ACS 8.2 Plus set 
correctly?



I have a feeling that the problem might be with the way RD is talking to the
adapter but like I said, it works at first than seems to hang-up for minutes
before you can execute another command to the switcher.  


I had a similar problem with a new ACS 4.1 just last night; it turned out 
to have an incorrect DIP switch setting ("remote" instead of "PIP").


If you temporarily stop the Rivendell service and install Putty, you'll 
find it an excellent diagnostic tool.

You've a much better chance, certainly. The only way to tell for sure
is to put an ocilloscope on an output, run sinosoidal tone through it
and note the level at which the waveform starts flattening out at the
peaks.

Curious: how much headroom do you get with those? This has been the big
downside of most USB audio devices I've tested, including those with
balanced I/O: they max out at around 0 dBm. This is largely due to the
limitations of the USB power connection (+5 vdc @ 100 mA max), whereas
a true 'pro' balanced output requires a bipolar +/-15 vdc power supply
to achieve the accustomed headroom of around +20 dBm.

Cheers!

For Pro Audio applications, all the world is moving to some form of
AoIP. For Sound Reinforcement, that means systems like CobraNet or AVB.
For Broadcast, it's a bouquet of systems from various vendors, all of
them broadly compatibile with AES67.

Correct, unfortunately. ASI effectively sunset CentOS 6 support over a
year ago. FWIW, the current ASI driver (v4.20.10) does work fine on
CentOS 7 and supports those cards. RPMs are available at:

You can also get a list of all mounted filesystems by doing:

df -h

You should see an entry in the resulting list that looks something

Re: [RDD] Sound cards

[Hoggins!]

Hey there,

We also use an X32 (compact version) as our main studio console, along
with the ADAT expansion card, and all our computers and the encoders are
connected to it through their lightpipe "cables" and RME Digi9652 ADAT
cards.
Works like a charm, we are able to route in and out a lot of signals
without them leaving the digital space until it becomes analog for FM
transmission. Of course if we had the money, we would be fully eg.
Dante, or any equivalent Ethernet-based audio link, but this compromise
is good for us.

All this is quite affordable and fully supported on our Linux machines.

Re: [RDD] Sound cards

[Tim Camp]

Greetings Rob,

Of course it always depends on your needs, but on each station we use a
Behringer X32 rack, which is in itself a console
however it gives you 32 in and 32 outs via usb which can easily be
configured as 16 stereo in and outs or a combination of stereo and mono.
It works a charm and can be used with alsa or jack all for less than 1100
bucks.
Plus you can control all channel mutes, level, via macros from rivendell.

May not be a solution for everyone but 32 io's for less than 1100 is a good
deal.

Re: [RDD] Glasscoder icecast/shoutcast V1

[Bill Putney]

Patrick,

I know the addresses are a bit more daunting than the 4 octets we're use 
to. At least they're in hexadecimal.


Back in the early days of digital networking I was a support engineer 
for a packet switched network carrier. We used Varian minicomputers that 
has about the same compute power as an apple watch and slightly less 
memory. All the software was hand coded in assembly language. One of the 
things I did was writing software patches and inserting them in nodes in 
various places around the world. If I messed up and the node crashed, 
that customer was off the net until their software was reloaded from 
California over the network. That involved loading net boot code that 
was 100 16 bit words long. It was very dense and one wrong bit in a word 
would cause it to fail. I remember one night I crashed a node in upstate 
NY and had to call their data center operator at about 2AM their time a 
read him the net boot over the phone as he put it into the switch 
register on the front of the minicomputer one word at a time. So yeah, 
those long IPv6 addresses are a pain but, there are worse things. :)

There’s also the support issue. I don’t know if you ever had to have someone,

grain of sand in the known universe. I suppose if we all stopped using NAT at 
gateways and every device had a unique address, folks lie Google and NSA could 
find a way to get up to some mischief. When I started working in the field, we

should have taken them up on it. Who knew I'd have a house full of computers?

  No.

I'm with you on this Rob. It's frustrating!

It seems like the combination of 1) "reasonably priced", 2) "industrial
grade", and 3) "works with Linux" audio devices have become unicorns.

I used to install the Digigram VX222 (PCI) and VX222e (PCIe), but Digigram
recently made a hardware modification that has rendered this card unusable on
Linux (even with a vendor-provided, updated driver).

The most significant problem I have experienced is finding an audio device
with balanced inputs and outputs. My current solution, though less than ideal,
is the ASUS Xonar devices and a matchbox (StudioHub, Henry Engineering, Angry
Audio, etc.) to handle the balanced/unbalanced conversion.

What are others doing?

Re: [RDD] Sound cards

[David Klann]

I'm with you on this Rob. It's frustrating!

It seems like the combination of 1) "reasonably priced", 2) "industrial
grade", and 3) "works with Linux" audio devices have become unicorns.

I used to install the Digigram VX222 (PCI) and VX222e (PCIe), but Digigram
recently made a hardware modification that has rendered this card unusable on
Linux (even with a vendor-provided, updated driver).

The most significant problem I have experienced is finding an audio device
with balanced inputs and outputs. My current solution, though less than ideal,
is the ASUS Xonar devices and a matchbox (StudioHub, Henry Engineering, Angry
Audio, etc.) to handle the balanced/unbalanced conversion.

What are others doing?

[RDD] Sound cards

[Rob Landry]

On Monday morning a direct lightning hit to the building where two of our 
stations have their studios took out several thousand dollars worth of 
equipment, including the ASI sound cards in the Rivendell playout systems 
for the two stations. The exact card we were using is no longer in 
production, so we ordered two new ASI5810's. When we put them in, they 
weren't recognized by CentOS 6 and Rivendell couldn't see them.


The 5810's require at least version 4.18 of the asihpi driver, and the 
version we had been using was 4.16. Newer versions will not install on 
CentOS 6.


On CentOS 7 at a different station, I was able to install one of the newer 
drivers but Rivendell wouldn't see it.


While I have not yet tried to use a 5810 under Debian 9, I think ASI and I 
have come to the parting of the ways. It's clear from the disappearance of 
cards such as the M-Audio Delta and Echo MIA from the marketplace that the 
industry is moving way from analog audio, and those of us who still 
maintain analog plants may have to rely on USB adapters and external 
matchboxes (which install without trouble on pretty much anything).


What sound cards are y'all using for new Rivendell systems these days?

Re: [RDD] Playback Problem

[Gabriele Fergola]

u need to make some try :D

in sheel try to simply do an "ls /var/snd" (without quote)
or you can just execute "mount |grep snd" but in this case, u see only if
it is mounted but not if it is accessible

if u can see all your files it's meaning all is mounted well. If it stuck
or don't see nothing is not well mounted and you need to dig a little bit :D

Regards
Gabriele

Hello David,
Double check if the directory /var/snd is well mounted. Normally rdairplay is 
doing that when cannot read the songs.

[RDD] Playback Problem

[David Henderson]

I had to do a fresh install on my Rivendell server due to the OS hard disk 
developing a fault. I've replaced it and got everything imported, including all 
the audio and the database. For some reason the clients can't play any audio - 
when adding an audio cut to RDAirplay and pressing the 'Start' button just 
makes the cut disappear completely. Similarly, no audio is playable in 
RDLibrary - the play button lights up green when pressed, but there is no sound 
and the counter doesn't move. There's nothing greyed out either, so everything 
looks as it should. The server plays audio with no problems at all - any ideas?
