 I just took my conclusion from looking at Alsa, where you see three
 different sound devices. Usually PC-speaker is not a device under Alsa
 on a normal PC. That's obviously different in the embedded world .
 
 One secret after another gets lifted. ;)
 
 Cheers

By playing around with the Alsa config you can play music on the
internal speaker and put the beeps on the stereo system!

You can use aplay to send music to the internal speaker and streaming
music to the stereo. Lots of things you can do (but probably don't WANT
to!)

[SlimDevices: Touch] My Touch findings

2010-04-28 Thread holkoz

I have recently purchased the Touch and I have connected it with coax
digital out to my DAC connected via XLR to a preamp/amp combo. I
previously used a Receiver and I think the Touch is an affordable
improvement, no doubt about it. I also noticed an improvement when
going from SB3 to Receiver(also using digital out).

I have replaced the stock PSU of the Touch and the improvement was just
as great as replacing the PSU for the Receiver and SB3. 

Before I used to decode my FLAC;s on the Squeezebox Server since it
greatly improved the sound for both the Receiver and SB3. With the
Touch there is very little difference, but at the moment I favor
decoding the FLAC;s on the Touch. Decoding the FLAC;s on the Touch also
improves performance of my rather slow NAS.

I currently use Screen Off as screensaver for the Touch, but I think
you will need to have a very high resolution system to hear this
improvement. I remember favoring this setup with the SB3 as well.

On the downside I failed to play my newly acquired high resolution
album since it was a 24/192. I really hope there will be native support
for 24/192 in the near future. I can not play back my album at all at
the moment since my NAS is not powerful enough to transcode it in real
time.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Sending audio to USB DAC?

2010-04-28 Thread JohnSwenson

This gets a bit complicated. You need to do some reading on alsa config
files. The one for the Touch is /etc/asound.conf. That file redefines
default to be virtual card which sends the same stream to the S/PDIF
and DAC devices. 

IF your USB DAC accepts 24 bit data all you really need to do to get
music to play is rename the asound.conf file and it WILL go to the USB
DAC. If the DAC only accepts 16 bit data you need to use the plug
interface which will convert the 24 bit to 16 bit. This is done in the
asound.conf file. If you really want a challange look up the
documentation and figure out how to make a plug device from the
default card and assign this to be the default. This is rather
confusing, you have the USB DAC which has a card name of default,
which you can use in the definition of a stream named default. If you
don't do anything special these are the same, but you CAN separate them.


The following should work:

pcm.usb {
type hw;
card default
}

pcm.plugusb {
type plug;
slave.pcm usb
}

pcm.!default plugusb

Note that if your USB DAC winds up with a card name other than
default you will have to modify this.

before making ANY changes please backup the original asound.conf:

cd /etc
mv asound.conf asound_orig.conf
vi asound_usb.conf
(edit the new file)
cp asound_usb.conf asound.conf
sync

reboot

Its easiest to just reboot at this point. That should do it.

You should have music over the USB DAC. But NOT over the analog outs or
S/PDIF. To figure out how to do THAT carefully study the existing
asound.conf and add the USB DAC to the virtual card.

John S.

The PSU's are different. Touch requires 3A @ 5V. Also the Touch is a
different circuit design and simply plugging in a replacement has even
less effect on a Touch than it did on the SB3. Certainly I can neither
hear or measure any difference via analogue or digital outputs.
Likewise screensavers or server-side flac decoding.

The VFD screen on an SB3 does produce some measureable interference.
The LCD Touch screen does NOT.

YMMV.

Your results may vary if you have ancilliary equipment that is not
adequately protected from RFI/EMI.

I bought a quite cheap replacement linear PSU for about 40$, it is
possible to change output voltage and connector with the one I
purchased. Therefore I could easily change from 9V used by Receiver to
the 5V required by the Touch.

I do not know why I hear an improvement. In fact I did not expect to
hear one. I was actually hoping to keep the stock PSU installed if
there was no difference in sound quality.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Sending audio to USB DAC?

John,

Much appreciated. By changing the asound.conf to what you had above I
was able to get my iBasso D10 working on the usb.

I'm happy that I at least know it works with my gear. Now I can try
getting getting all outputs to work. I've found some documentation
describing the order issue and also combining outputs.

Note: for whatever reason I had to pull the power to get things working
correctly. Resetting via the button on the back wasn't enough.

Also, since the iBasso D10 is limited on the USB I really don't intend
to use it in this way. I'll probably pick up a dacport for 96/24 via
USB.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Sending audio to USB DAC?

2010-04-28 Thread soundcheck

Hi folks.

I face difficulties to get my PCM2707 going. I tried all kind of stuff.
Of course I got thousands more options - not now.

I don't think it is that easy to combine a 16 and the 24 bit devices. 
(I tried plug etc.). Jive_alsa crashes all the time during startup.
When
starting it manually I can see the error codes. 

Some of the tests ended up so bad that the Touch died with a kernel
crash.   

The only thing I managed to achieve so far is that I can run default
config  ( card 1 in asound.conf)  at 24bit with my 16 bit DAC and
Johns setup. But that generates clicks here and than.

What a pity that the jife_alsa startup parameters seem to be
hardcoded.
It would make my life much easier if I could assign flexible parameters
( e.g. device and bitdepth) through a config file somewhere. 
Should be a No-brainer for the designers to implement something like
that. ;)

However:

I managed quite easily to run aplay with data from SD-card on my USB
DAC.
Works flawless and sounds great - really good.

I also had a problem to get my Opticis optical USB going. It usually
comes up as a hub. My guess that's not manageable by the current
embedded Linux - a combination of a hub and a snd device.


In any case I consider it a must-do for the Logitech folks to implement
that usb-audio support - at least to a certain extent. This lifts the
Touch up into a different league. And opens up a complete new and huge
target group. I 'd guess that the majority of PC-Audio people got USB
DACs at home. I am not sure if they would switch to the Touch if they
would have to switch to SPDIF. 

The implementation efforts will cost close to nothing for just making
the driver available - my guess. However, Logitech could not guarantee
device support beyond Alsa device support. That must be one of the key
obstacles and reason not to go for it. In this case a community
plugin would be needed. Logitech just would have to fulfill our
little wishes, which will cost even less. John: You said you're
working on a plugin. Do you think 
Logitech would be open to discuss little changes to set a proper base
for such a plugin?

The two issues from my point of view are card numbering to get rid of
the
rather random numbering and flexible configuration of jife_alsa start
parameters to be able to change e.g. the device id as defined in
asound.conf and bitdepth.

Another nice-to-have feature would be that hub-support.

And: The new Alsa usb-audio driver 1.0.22-B  is lighyears ahead ( much
wider device support, asynch USB, 192khz, better USB handling...) of
the old stuff on the Touch. 
Hopefully one day we'll see a 2.6.33-rt and 1.0.22b Alsa on the
device.


Cheers

[SlimDevices: Touch] USB HD plus internet radio?

2010-04-28 Thread dnighorn

Are these two things compatible?  I want to get a Touch for my daughter
with the goal of giving her access to all of the age-appropriate music
that we have.  Since I travel frequently, I won't be home to do 24-7
technical support.  Thus, the goal is to avoid using the server
architecture of the normal SB.

So the question:  If I go this route, does it preclude access to

Yes, it's still able to connect to radio stations.

Depends.  It provides the power that the USB spec requires, but some
external drives want more and just hope a USB port will give it all the
power it wants.

(Some do horrible things like running two USB plugs, one for power and
data, one for just power...)

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] USB HD plus internet radio?

2010-04-28 Thread iPhone

I use the Touch with a USB drive almost daily running TinySC (no SBS PC
Server) and listen to Internet Radio without any issues.

The Touch USB Port is a USB Spec'd port. It meets the power
requirements to power devices that meet the certified USB standard.
Does this mean that all devices and all hard drives will work, it does
not. What it does mean is that devices that display that they are
certified to the USB Standard will have a higher likely hood of
functioning correctly.

And yes I have USB devices that aren't certified to the USB standard
that DO work with the Touch and others that don't. I don't have a
single USB certified device that doesn't work with the Touch. YMMV. USB
powered USB drives that draw more then 500 milliamps at start up are
drives that I would avoid.

You should be aware that you won't totally be avoiding the normal SB
server architecture. You will be taking a separate pc or NAS out of the
equation, but you'll still have the server software running on the
Touch. Many of the things that can go wrong with a regular SB setup can
also go wrong with the SBS running on the Touch (eg, incomplete scans,
server lockups, etc.). You shouldn't have to worry about any problems
with the Touch connecting to it's built-in SBS. So it's easier to run
than a usual SB setup, but don't be over-optimistic and think that it's
as foolproof as operating a toaster.

 Is there something obvious Im missing?
 
There are two options:

1.
- Setup jstraw's repository posted earlier in this thread in your SBS
installation
- This will make them appear in Patch Installer
- You will see the result when switching views in the Now Playing
screen, it will not works as screen saver besides the possibility to
setup Now Playing as screen saver.

2.
- Install Custom Clock Helper in SBS
- Install Custom Clock on Touch
- Select Analog VU Meter in Custom Clock Settings on the Touch and
configure it as screen saver and activate the screen saver
- In SBS web ui, select Analog VU Meter in Custom Clock Helper
settings, then change the url of the analogvumeter item to point to
jstraw's png images. I'm not sure if the images are hosted somewhere
yet so you might need to arrange that yourself.
- The VU meters will only appear as screen savers, if you want them on
the Now Playing screen you also have to perform the operation described
under 1 above.

jstraw, if you are seeing this and would like me to host some Custom
Clock styles that uses your VU meter images, let me know and I'll
arrange that. This would make this a bit easier for end users.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Which tags?

2010-04-28 Thread rotho

Ok, so, using Erland's advice, I modified (via SSH) the bandInArtists,
composerInArtists and conductorInArtists parameters in the
server.prefs file of the Touch, and after restarting TinySC, I now have
the Composers, Conductors and Bands in the Artist menu of the Touch.
Great !

But when I try to navigate to a certain track via a Composer, the SBT
freezes !
Here is an example : I select the Artist Franz Schubert, then I see
all the albums containing tracks having Schubert as a Composer, but
when I select one of these albums, the SBT does not respond (there is a
waiting circle moving, which lasts forever). I tried to wipe and
rescan my entire collection on my external device, but that didn't
solve the problem.

So it seems that the search by Artist when selecting Composers,
Conductors or Bands is not correctly implemented when using TinySC. The
workaround I found is to press the + key to have the contextual menu,
and select the reading of the whole album, but that's not very
satisfactory.

Perhaps there is another parameter to set in the server.prefs file to
correct this behaviour ?

Any thoughts, folks ?

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Sending audio to USB DAC?

2010-04-28 Thread JohnSwenson

I have the patch for 22b already done. I just have to get it to Andy.
I'll try that tonight. 

I think you are trying to hard. I had a 2706 DAC up and running last
night with the asound.conf I posted. Do not try and restart jive_alsa
or anything like that. Modify the asound.conf and reboot. 

The only problem you will run into is if the USB DAC is coming up as
card 2 since that is hardcoded as the Wolfson DAC. If that is the case,
try both hotplugging the DAC and having it plugged in at boot. Do an
aplay -l in both configurations, at least one of them should have the
USB DAC as something other than card 2. Note the card name in the
configuration you want to use and put that in the asound.conf. 

If you need to hotplug then unplug the DAC, boot the Touch and then
plug in the DAC, it should work. If you need to be plugged in at boot,
plug the DAC in and reboot. 

There are some variables that give the default configuration of the
jive_alsa processes. I have not looked carefully at them to figure out
what can be controlled by what. It looked like there were some defaults
set with the capability for an applet to modify them. I'll have to spend
some time looking at that. 

The asound.conf method is the quick way to get something working. 

The device numbering is going to take some udev work, which I'm not
good at. If any body knows udev and is willing to work on this I'll be
glad to work with you on whats needed here.

Speaking of toasters, maybe someone should implement the infamous

Back on the original subject, I tend to think that a VortexBox as
server and a Touch would probably be the simplest to setup and keep
working long term than using the builtin server. Especially if you have
a wired connection between the VortexBox and the Touch it is very easy
to setup and probably has the the best likely hood of long term trouble
free operation.

I have not done it with the TinySC server in the Touch but with the
full SBS server.  However I see no reason why it would work
differently.

Note you do not need to create a m3u using the extended formating.  It
can be as simple as a file with a list of music files.  Not even sure
if SBS does anything with the extended data.  But if you have your
playlists in some other app that can export them to m3u format you
should be golden.

Do NOTE that after you put the new playlist in the playlist folder it
will not appear in SB until it rescans.

[SlimDevices: Touch] Hiss on output

I recently took delivery of an SBT and find that compared to the SB3 it
replaced that there's a large amount of background hiss from this unit.
There also seems to be a very high pitched whistle, just within my

Just wondered if anyone else has experienced this or have I got a dodgy
unit? Both channels hiss, and an SB3 connected to the same equipment
does not show these symptoms.

Other than the sda1, the media folders are all empty.  Can I delete
these?  Why were they added in the first place?  Thank you.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] How to see artworks

 Squeezebox Server recognizes artwork image files named 'folder' and
 'cover', not 'coverart'.

I'm glad you're on because you're answering all my questions!  That
would it seems like after I searched around.  It seems as though I can
add coverart.jpg as a recognized name for songs on my computer, but
that I can't do anything about it for files attached directly to the
Touch via USB.

Is this correct?

Do you know if there's a way for me to do a global change of all files
in a folder?  For example, I'd love it if there was a way for me to run
a command where every file named coverart.jpg in my music folder is
changed to folder.jpg?  Otherwise, I'm looking at having to do this
manually over 1300 times.  :(

[SlimDevices: Touch] A quick question for Iphone Re: Touch in car

2010-04-28 Thread iPhone

Gomez;541482 Wrote: 
 Hi 
 Hope you don't mind but in your sig I noticed you are running a Touch
  usb hard drive in your Expedition, any chance of a few details on how
 you got this set up, power supply etc.
 I want to use one in our motorhome but on the 12v leasure supply, any
 details would be most useful.

If its a dedicated supply, you could run an inverter for the Touch and
then use a large USB drive also. I would only do this if this 12VDC
didn't drop to low when starting the vehicle to cause the inverter to
drop the Touch and USB drive.

As for what I did, I installed a 4 Amp DC/DC 12 to 5 VDC power supply
to power the Touch and I am using a 640GB USB powered Toshiba USB
Drive. The Touch sits in the little cubby hole in front of the cup
holders with the USB drive sitting on top of the metal touch support.
RCA outs run to Aux In on the head unit.

I will try to answer any questions you might have. I also have a bad
habit of offering advice when asked for suggestions.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Pseudo-bridge: Touch wired to computer, computer wireless to router

2010-04-28 Thread Swimmerbird123

I don't know much about Mac computers, but as long as yours has an
ethernet port in addition to the wireless connection, and as long as
the Mac OS has the ability to share an internet connection, it should
be possible. 

Googling internet connection sharing  Mac gives some results that
suggest that in the Mac operating system there is a Sharing Pane under
System Preferences that allows you to enable sharing, and that you
could set it to share From the Airport To Ethernet.  That would
more or less take care of step 2 in my description above, and maybe
once that is done, getting the Touch connected would be similar to step
3.  It might be worth playing around a bit.  

If the Mac doesn't provide DHCP with its Internet Connection sharing,
you might have to enter the networking addresses yourself.  It would
probably be similar to this example using an xbox 360

http://macapper.com/2009/01/29/tutorial-mac-internet-sharing-with-xbox-360/

If you get it to work, maybe you could describe here how you did it.
