RuneAudio+R e4 setup with Waveshare 5.5 1920x1080 HDMI Displ

[pkdick]

Hello everyone,

I have just installed RuneAudio+R e4 on my USBBridge Signature/Katana DAC, but when I activate Chromium nothing is displayed on my HDMI 1920x1080 display from Waveshare (https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/5.5inch_HDMI_AMOLED).

I followed the Waveshare advice and I added the following in my config.txt:
max_framebuffer_height=1920
max_usb_current=1
config_hdmi_boost=10
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_timings=1080 1 26 4 50 1920 1 8 2 6 0 0 0 60 0 135580000 3

But it does not help: when I check the status of Chromium using a ssh console, I can only see that it is not started. When I type "startx", I get the fatal error "no screens found(EE)". As I have no programming knowledge, I would be grateful if someone could help me to work out this issue (my screen works on Moode and Volumio, so I assume that it is linked to some missing configuration in RuneAudio).

Thank you in advance

Hello rern,

Thank you for your answer.

I just followed your advice (i.e. I removed all config.txt's data realted to my screen) and I rebooted my USBBridge, but I got no luck as my screen displayed then something un readable.

Then I added the following lines in my config.txt
# Waveshare Display init
max_framebuffer_height=1920
max_usb_current=1
#config_hdmi_boost=10
hdmi_group=2
#hdmi_force_hotplug=1
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_timings=1080 1 26 4 50 1920 1 8 2 6 0 0 0 60 0 135580000 3
#display_rotate=3 #1: 90; 2: 180; 3: 270

My screen displays now "Rune Audio" with a 90° rotation (which is a significant change!), but it seems that Chromium still does not start (when I activate it, it is offered to change the rotation of the screen, the timeout and the zoom, but the related icon then disappears...).

I will flash again runeaudio and start again.

Hello again,

As proposed by Rern, I flashed the last version of Runeaudio and I booted like that without modifying any file: my HDMI screen displayed then garbage, showing that it was not recognized by the software.

I tried to contact Waveshare to request support from them, but no answer until now: it seems that I cannot use this full HD screen with RuneAudio.

Best regards,
