Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Raspberry B+ and Hifiberry amp+ and Picoreplayer

2015-03-16 Thread wijnand

Hi Greg,

Basic electronics is no problem for me, only python and linux are
sometimes still difficult for me.

I want to build a status LED in my case so I can see or simply
picoreplayer is active or not. 
I control everything via squeezecommander and i-peng. T
The LED should light up when my player is softwarematicly turn on, and
if I turn it off I want the LED goes out. (not by interrupting the power
supply)

17661

I also think it should be very simple:confused:

Thanks so much!! Changing the volume in alsamixer resolves the issue
indeed. This was driving me crazy ;)

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: Squeeze on Arch - developer version

2015-03-16 Thread jemhayward

I've now got SoA running on my Wandboard dual, via USB hub into my
Audiolab MDAC and it is working perfectly, so I installed SoA on a spare
RPi I had, and that works well on its own audio out, but I've just tried
it (without hub) into my MDAC and its not doing anything yet.  I never
got the pi working into the MDAC with picoreplayer and so think it may
be the pi MDAC combination.  Has anyone got this to work, and if so,
how?

 Hi retrohunter,
 
 Don't know. :confused:

I think I found the info I was looking for:
http://www.6by9.net/output-to-multiple-audio-devices-with-alsa/

Hoping to use the analogue out as an output for these:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Wholesale-Brand-New-Panel-VU-Meter-Warm-Back-Light-Recording-Audio-Level-Amp-with-driver-Free/989810231.html

The reason I'm trying to avoid using the hifiberry as a signal source is
that I'm worried that it will degrade sound quality or introduce noise.

I'll give it a go and report back with my findings.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCoPlayer = Squeezelite on Microcore linux. .An embedded OS in RAM with Squeezelite

2015-03-16 Thread alnames

Out of my 4 v1.19 Picoreplayers running on B+ Pi's, one refuses to start
Squeezelite on reboot. Two uses WiFi and two use Ethernet, but the the
one in question is the only one using HDMI for audio ( the others use on
board analog). I can successfully restart Squeezelite via the web
interface after reboot. What might cause this?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCoPlayer = Squeezelite on Microcore linux. .An embedded OS in RAM with Squeezelite

2015-03-16 Thread poing

For a few days, I've been having the problem that the output level of my
B+ is waaay too low. I am not sure that the issue is picoreplayer, but
am out of ideas on how to fix the issue and would surely appreciate some
help.

The player is a B+ is running picoreplayer 1.19. It is hooked up to my
AVR via HDMI. The volume of the player is fixed at 100% in LMS.
Replaygain/volume normalization isn't the problem, either, I've already
checked on that.

Until a few days ago, the output volume was fine. In fact, the Pi was
louder than a CD player hooked up to the same AVR. Now, to achieve the
same loudness I have with the CD player (playing the same tune) when the
AVR's volume dial at 20, I have to turn up the AVR's volume dial to 55.

I recently made two to my setup. 1.) I updated picoreplayer from 1.18b
to 1.19. 2.) I installed a security update for LMS 7.7.3 running on
Synology DSM. (From the changelog, it appears the only thing they
changed was bumping FLAC to 1.3.1, as the previous FLAC version had
known vulnerabilities.) I believe the problem only occured after making
those two changes.

Suggestions?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCoPlayer = Squeezelite on Microcore linux. .An embedded OS in RAM with Squeezelite

2015-03-16 Thread skip_pack

I installed the arm7 1.19 last night on my new RPi2 and got to music
without any false steps. My server is an old laptop on Lubuntu 14.04
with the music coming off  a Synology NAS. LMS on that machine is a 7.9
nightly build from 5-6 weeks ago, and I'm using Squeeze Commander on a
phone.
Output was from the mini-jack to phones. I'm waiting to recieve a Digi+
which I will then use to connect to my Twisted Pear Opus DAC in my main
system.

My question is about orderly shutdown of the RPi2. Is there a preferred
way to stop the processes, etc. before powering down? I will have a
power switch on my linear supply when I go to the main system, but I
hear horror stories about bricking various little beasts by being a
little too casual.

thanks,

Skip

The alsamixer volume level on 1.19 seems to be set at 50% as default. I
just installed it this week and also found the volume to be low. You can
use Putty to change it to a higher level.

With piCorePlayer, I power down by pulling the plug from the wall
socket! I think that's OK because it's running from RAM.

Thank you for that information and generally for the picoreplayer! 
I read the posts a few pages back but i wasn´t sure this was absolutely
the same problem.

RPI Display: They write it can be used in parallel to HDMI, so it will
have it's own driver and that needs to be included in picore than.



does the all-black SB sound better than the white SB?
