RuneAudio 0.3-alpha for Raspberry Pi

[ACX]

Hi everyone,
I can assure you we are doing our best to publish the new 0.3-beta as soon as possible, and that it will be worth the wait. We never set official release dates anyway, so please relax and wait for it The release will simply see daylight when ready - and it will be soon.

For the record, both Orion and I have few free time, and we already spend it almost entirely into this project. I understand that someone could be impatient, so if you want to speed up the development there are , everyone can contribute in his own way.

Yes we must be patient and we greatly appreciate what you guys have achieved so far and the effort you put in.

Gordon at IQaudio has suggested that to get DAC's for RPi B plus working, all that is necessary is to update the RPi firmware (rpi-update).

A general update (pacman -Syu) seems to be the preferred method but it crashes 0.3 alpha - so is there a way just to do rpi-update?

Thx

look at my pacman posts......I have been updating every few days, mostly with pacman -Syu but occassionally I test with rpi-update as that kernel is 1/3 the size of the normal kernel.

Again, in my experience its the ffmpeg package that is breaking the UI.......

After updating the kernel via either method, you will need to go to /boot and change the kernel name from kernel.img to the name rune is expecting....I am out of town so dont have access to Rune atm.

I'm trying to get the HifiBerry Digi+ to work.

I've updated my kernel to 3.12.29-1 and have done a pacman -Syu --ignore ffmpeg regardless.
I've renamed /boot/kernel.img to /boot/linux-rune-3.12.19-2-ARCH.img with the intention that rune loads that as the kernel.

I've selected I2S module HifiBerry Digi,
but in MPD I still only have RPI analog and HDMI outputs.

Any ideas?

Sounds like youve updated properly. I dont know, nor have the DAC you do.....you can try some of the other "fixes", like trying to change the config being used. I know that was needed for my Dragonfly and my Rotel DAC's.

I am forgetting the various commands off the top to help you, maybe dmesg, or lsusb....

I cant help much better since I am on the road and not in front of my Pi.

getDB({path: 'NAS'});
It returns

Anyone having issue with popping sound ? I want to switch to NFS to see if that would help, but when I use NFS, it doesn't show any error, but the updating won't get triggered. My NAS is Synology DS214.

Overall, the wifi just feel pretty slow with Edimax dongle.
