The New 4-core Raspberry Pi

[utschu]

Hi Frank,

Thank you for bringing some brightness into my dark nooby environment.

With your advice I could eaasily get the analog and USB soundcard output activated at he same time and the volume level increased.

Individual songs on spotify side are playing great as I could see now.
Is there a way to get playlists played as well?

edit 05 April 2015: When I tried it again today, to add Spotify Playlists, I have realised, that some Playlist work well, others not.
If I observed right, I could add Playlists to the Queue with aprox. 200 songs, where a Playlist containing aprox 300 songs couldn't be added.

When trying later on again to add the large Playlist (containing more than 350 songs) it worked.
It looks like if I would try to add different Playlists in a short time, the whole thing would get unstable.
After switching back to MPD and viceversa and trying to do everything slower it worked well.


Thank you very much.

Best regards

Urs

Hi Frank,

would that image also run on an Odroid C1? Or would I be better off using the cookbook with the Cubox-i files for armV7 architecture?

Short answer: NO

Yes
Install this Arch Linux image.
Get the packages from here
and follow the cookbook.

I am using the Raspi 2 image that is mentioned in this thread. It works great, but shows a minor glitch on my system: After I finish to "airplay" to the Pi, I have to reboot it in order to get back control. The "Playback* GUI is locked up otherwise:

Is this a known issue with the 0.3 "+" beta?

Thanks! Martin

Hi Martin,

for me it is working fine.

I am using the Raspi 2 image that is mentioned in this thread.

Is it this image?

You also can try an update to the latest version.
Airplay has now cover art.

Dear Frank,

Thank you (and the rest of the Runeaudio team) for your efforts in making a very nice audio player!
I do not have Linux experience but I have been able ro run Runeaudio and do simple changes through a terminal (copy-paste works fine for the NOOB)
Just tried the last image on my new rpi 2. It works! I only have an issue with the I2S driver. I can run the hifiberrydac driver as listed in the config file but it plays mono Flac files on my pcm1794 dac (dddac).
I tried modifying /etc/modules-load.d/raspberrypi.conf according to this topic: http://www.runeaudio.com/forum/runeaudio-with-raspberrypi-and-dddac1794-nos-t484-10.html but this does not work.
I assume that you also need to trigger this file?

I hope you can help me.

Regards,

Stefan

Hi Stefan,

please read this.

The image i created doesn't use the "old" mudules-load.d mechanism.
Instead it uses the new Device Tree (DT) to manage some resource allocation and module loading.

Dear Frank,

Thank you for the link. So this means that there must be an overlay file with the correct driver and this must be triggered in the config file.
I can see the overlay files when reading the sd card in my win PC.

What would such a file contain for the dddac1794? Is it possible to make an overlay file in wordpad?

Kind regards,

[hondagx35]

Hi Stefan,

you can try to update the kernel on my image.
As far as i have seen there is now support for the PCM1794a in it.

Code: Select all

pacman -Sy
pacman -S linux

Edit the file /boot/config.txt and add "device_tree_overlay=rpi-dac"

Code: Select all

# Uncomment one of these lines to enable an audio interface
#device_tree_overlay=hifiberry-dac
#device_tree_overlay=hifiberry-dacplus
#device_tree_overlay=hifiberry-digi
#device_tree_overlay=hifiberry-amp
#device_tree_overlay=iqaudio-dac
#device_tree_overlay=iqaudio-dacplus
device_tree_overlay=rpi-dac

Then reboot, now you should have the modules "snd_soc_rpi_dac", "snd_soc_pcm1794a" and"snd_soc_bcm2708_i2s" loaded.

Code: Select all
