Did you give the HifiBerryDAC+ driver a try ? This uses the same PCM5122
DAC Chip and may work

I installed Volumio and the necessary stuff to enable the DAC, however
Volumio is just not up to LMS standards. I didn't really use it long
enough to assess the DAC.

I installed piCorePlayer, but never got the DAC to work with it. I'm not
Linux literate, and wasn't really up to asking for help at the time.

Since then it acts as my LMS server only, it's not used as a player
(everything in my signature). I added a deeper baseplate and installed
an M.2 240GB sata drive, then the add-on base and a 1TB 2.5" sata SSD
drive.

Sorry can't help with the DAC side of things.

This thread seemed to twist into a discussion about remotes. How did you
get on with the nanosound? Does it work with picoreplayer? Which dac

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Getting Streamer for Audio Input to work with HiFiBerry DAC+ADC

2022-01-06 Thread paul-


Connection: Close is just an http header, that is correct for this
application.

The issue is definitely the asound.conf.  Has this device been
insitu_updated alot.   What version was the last image you burned?

This is the default /etc/asound.conf that pCP uses

Code:


  # default - Generated by piCorePlayer
  pcm.!default {
  type plug
  slave.pcm "hw:0,0"
  }
  
  pcm.pcpinput {
  type hw
  card Headphones
  device 0
  }
  
  #---ALSA EQ Below
  pcm.sound_device {
  type plug
  slave.pcm {
  type hw
  card Headphones
  device 0
  }
  }
  
  ctl.equal {
  type equal;
  controls "/home/tc/.alsaequal.bin"
  library "/usr/local/lib/ladspa/caps.so"
  }
  
  pcm.plugequal {
  type equal;
  slave.pcm "sound_device";
  controls "/home/tc/.alsaequal.bin"
  library "/usr/local/lib/ladspa/caps.so"
  }
  
  pcm.equal {
  type plug;
  slave.pcm plugequal;
  }
  



Once you update your asound.conf, then go to the tweaks page and scroll
down to the streamer section, and reset the audio device for input using
the box.  Expand the more option and then click on the correct input.

The player carries on merrily past 1 minute (forever). Thanks for the
tip on the log. It reads:

I mentioned in 'my opening post'

that asound.conf looks different from what it used to when I was running
PCP 7.0. My asound.conf is:

Code:

pcm.!default {
  # default
  type plug;
  slave.pcm "hw:0,0";
  }
  ctl.!default {
  type hw card 0
  }



Could my problem be that I am missing the following lines from the older
asound.conf? I don't want to mess with asound.conf manually, as it is
generated by PCP. Is it intentional that asound.conf has changed from
PCP 7.0 to 8.0, or has my asound.conf got screwed up somehow?

Code:

pcm.pcpinput {
  type hw
  card sndrpihifiberry;
  device 0;
  }

You can do both input and output at the same time, as long as they are
at the same bit depth.   You might check the alsamixer to make sure that
the input channel volume is not turned down.

When you tell the player to play the streamer url, if the player is
showing the time elapsing  (For longer than a minute), then the
streaming system is sending data to LMS..its just that its blank
data.

Can look at logs, there should be a pcp_streamer.log

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Material Skin on Picoreplayer

whilst i don't disagree, i think PcP is so lightweight that it should
cope happily. My current solution is 2 separate Pis, one for playback
and one for running material. Confusing the wife with multiple
interfaces for the same product never ends well :(

Thanks, yes – I ran the command while I was streaming. I first tried the
16-bit stream, then the 32-bit stream. While they were streaming, I ran
the command and got the output above, suggesting the card was not in
use. I don't know if there is something specific about the PCP build
that means this is an incorrect way of determining whether the card is
in use?
