Its happened again.  I've reflashed onto a new SD card, but this didn't
appear to fix it this time.  
I'm running off a battery supply that the SBT was happy with, but could
the wandboard be unhappy with a very slightly low voltage?  I will try
again tomorrow with a mains supply to see if this is more reliable.

Robin,

What JackOfAll says may be true. But try this first:

aplay -v -D plughw:CARD=M2,DEV=0 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Left.wav

and then 

./squeezelite-x86-64 -n hero -s lms.robinbowes.com -o
plughw:CARD=M2,DEV=0 -a :::0 -d output=debug

Code:


  sudo csos-cleanUpdate community-squeeze-repo
  sudo csos-cleanUpdate-unstable logitechmediaserver\*
  sudo csos-cleanInstall-testing logitechmediaserver-plugin-PlayDSD
  sudo csos-cleanUpdate-testing dsdplay
  



And you'll need to disable squeezelite native support for DSD, so
back-end dsdplay is used, if you're using squeezelite as the client.

Hmmm. If S24_3BE is the only game in town is squeezelite going to work
with that? IS it going to open via plug to convert?

(vlc is probably using pulseaudio and converting BE to LE.)

Hi Krisbee,

I do have a DoP capable DAC at the moment (4 separate boards lashed

Ah. My misty memories of the inner life of a DAC stems from ill-rembered

Thank you for working on this. Very kind of you to take the time.
I will give this a try tonight. My short term solution has been to
un-hide the 2.4ghz network and keep the 5ghz network hidden (I have an
Asus NT66u and it creates two networks that are connected) and the
Edimax connects just fine to the 2.4 network.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Community Squeeze OS F19 Release 1

2014-04-16 Thread JackOfAll

This is more for my reference, so I don't forget about this. It concerns
a user who was never able to get WB system clock set, even though he had
a working network connection. Our current behaviour with LMS installed,
(which has a dep on ntpdate), is to run ntpdate on startup to force an
immediate setting of system time, then the chronyd service is resposbile
for updating. The problem is, that both ntpdate and chrony by default
use privileged ports (ie, < 1024, ntp port is 123) for queries and it
appears some router hardware doesn't like natting back to privileged
ports, guess they consider it a security risk.

Solution:
1. Add "-u" to OPTIONS var in /etc/sysconfig/ntpdate.
2. Add "port 11123" to /etc/chrony.conf so it binds to that rather than
123.

Had a chance to look at this in more detail.  If you do a "dmesg | grep
usb"  you should see amongst the ouput a couple of lines like this:


Code:

[  358.301960] usb-audio: Digidesign Mbox 2: 24bit 48kHz
  [  358.304940] usbcore: registered new interface driver snd-usb-audio
  



In other words your Mbox2 only works at 48000Hz and expects 24bit
format.  So you can see from your output above how squeezelite works
with ALSA and ALSA has to switch from "hw" to "plughw" to cope with rate
switching from the file's 44100Hz rate to the Mbox2 working rate of
48000Hz. But your squeezelite param -a ::16:0 is trying to force the
Mbox2 to use the wrong format.  Hence I think the squeezelite params in
my last post should work for you as long as the Mbox2 has beeen
correctly recognised by ALSA and the snd-usb-audio has been loaded and
no other audio app is blocking the device.

That is the way I understand it too - with the added advantage that the
SoX upsampling filter can be tweaked (relatively) easily - if one
