After a reboot, DSPVolume sometimes is still set to 16%.

After configuring Last.FM, "love" is working, but not scrobbling.

In MacOS toolbar you can quickly switch output device. Personally if use bluetooth as a fallback for Airplay, especially if I experience audio lag when watching movies. But it is impossible to know which is which from the toolbar.

Example - Only see two Hifiberry

At least for the BT device it would be helpful if we could rename it.

I cannot select airplay as a source on version 20200127 running on a raspberry Pi 3 B (not the plus version). Airplay input can be enabled. I can also connect from my device (mbp running macos 10.15.3), where the output changes to airplay, so everything seems to be working on that end.

In our house we use more than one Spotify account to stream music. I was wondering if it is possible to connect multiple accounts to HifiberryOS. Maybe start a spotifyd service for each account and let the OS determine which one to use?

When running on a Pi4, the PIVERSION variable in hifiberry.state is not set correctly.
This is a not a problem for end users, but for the automated tools

Hello,

would it be possible set a limit for the master volume (.conf // Web-GUI)? Would be great if the LineOut is connected directly to a power amp.

Thanks
Jan

Airplay via shairport sync is not available in HiFiBerryOS image

Running HiFi BerryOS/BeoCreate/Rpi4/Roon

When I set the volume control in Roon at 50, it jumps to 70.

This does not happen on any other Roon devices

Downloaded a new version and things are not looking good.
Roon from iOS and also my laptop failed to actually locate the HifiBerry. It is very odd - it appears on the list for perhaps half a second and then just disappears. This flashing continues for quite some time then it just stops.

Happens both over wifi and wired.

Using a RP3b+ and AMP2 with Squeezelite.

Sound distortion occurs after a while (couple hours) during LMS playback or a long pause. It sounds like the sample rate is too low for the played media. Always occurs, always fixable by turning the device off in LMS and on again.

Sound from other sources (e.g. local play) is not affected, only LMS playback.

As the title says.

Version: 20200226
Worked fine in previous version.

After some troubleshooting I can see that shairport-sync launches /opt/hifiberry/bin/pause-all (because of run_this_before_play_begins = "/opt/hifiberry/bin/pause-all shairport" in /etc/shairport-sync.conf) and that pause-all actually kills shairport-sync (ungrateful child process!).

Enabling log_verbosity = 1 in /etc/shairport-sync.conf and looking in the system journal I see this:

I find the application logic in pause-all a bit hard to follow so I haven't tried to figure out a solution.

Using version 20191030 on a pi4 and Digi+ Pro through wifi

Started up and the screen shows a HifiBerryOS logo and "web interface ready at 192.168.1.14" which is nice.

I can access the interface on Chrome and all seems fine. But when I try to shut down or restart, Chrome displays a graphic and says "Restarting product" but the display on the TV is stuck on the HifiBerryOS logo and "web interface ready at 192.168.1.14" as before. I waited a while (3-4 minutes) and still no change and eventually Chrome displays "Product is unreachable". All the while on the screen, the display is stuck on the "web interface ready..." and I can no longer access the web interface until I unplug/plug the power jack.

The same thing happens without the hdmi cable connected.

*note - I'm not sure if shutdown works when hdmi is not connected. The red light remains on, however.

Thanks

When using Airplay, it can happen that the volume control increases automatically.
It is not yet clear, when this happens.

Open the interface using http://xxx.local (xxx=<whatever you've called your 'berry) and open up the MDP page from the Sources page.

Click the 'OPEN MDP WEB PAGE' button and it fails to load - on Safari get 'Safari can't open the page xxx.local:9000 because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection.' Other browsers are similar.

Opening the interface using an IP address e.g. 192.168.1.99 and follow the above steps and MDP page opens just fine.

NB. Browsing directly to http://xxx.local:9000 gives the same error so it's probably an mDNS thing???

On the Pi Zero-W, WiFi setup doesn't start reliably. Sometimes an access point will be started, sometimes it won't.

I know using a wired connection is preferred, but just want to let you know what I'm seeing.

Without a wired connection, the boot sequence ends with "No network connected, configure network using wifi setup." Which is usual.

Unfortunately, the unit then does not emit any wifi signal for me to connect to.

This is a clean install and 2 microSD cards, same results. I tried running Rapsbian and wifi works fine.

Thanks

Hello,

I just installed hifiberry-os on a raspberry pi 3 A+ with a DAC+ light. Works great I have sound. But I am not sure if hifiberry-os did used the correct sound drivers. I have some noise in the output and in the sound config page the sound card is Unknown. There are also no settings available for the sound card. Is this correct?

This are my diagnostics files:
amixer.txt
aplay.txt
arecord.txt
asound.conf.txt
df.txt
hifiberry.state.txt
hw_params.0.txt
[hw_params.1.txt] empty
[hw_params.2.txt] empty
playerstate.txt
systemctl.txt
top.txt
version.txt

It is urgend to allow to disable the WiFi at all. All those Hifiberry_setup_cdbbb WiFi nets are unsecure and pollute the already filled WiFi frequencies.

Is it possible to provide releases for the Raspberry Pi 2? Seems like the configs are in place, but without built releases updates won't work.

Hi,

I have flashed the RPi4 image (on 2 different SDs) and started the Pi. The Pi's LED was blinking for some time, then stopped. I have tried to reach the server by the assigned IP, as I have a couple of other Pi servers and http://HiFiBerry.local wasn't working for me, but "The connection has timed out". I don't have a screen and I don't plan to buy one any time soon. I am using the Volumio image without issues in the same configuration - RPi4 and HiFiBerry DAC+ HW 2.3

How should I proceed if I want to try your OS?

Thanks
Viktor

Looking in the system journal I see this error:

/usr/lib/systemd/system/audiocontrol2.service:8: Invalid environment assignment, ignoring: /data/ac2plugins:/etc/audiocontrol2

It's caused by this line:

Environment=/data/ac2plugins:/etc/audiocontrol2

I'm not sure what the proper value is.

I wanted to do a manual update from the WebUI (in order to keep my settings), but "General" -> "Software Update" shows "No updates are currently available".

I'm on 20200330 - according to GitHub releases page there should be 20200403 and 20200424 available.

I connect my hifiberry to my network via wifi, and have been experiencing drops in the sound playback. I initially believed this was caused by bad wifi as I was using my ISP provided router. I just ordered a Ubiquiti Amplifi HD router however, and even placed it much closer to the raspberry pi. I'm still getting signal drops however.

My computer connection to the router seems fine, and so does the hifiberry connection. Both report back strong signals, and the router should be plenty capable of handling audio streaming, especially with only 3 devices connected.

Can you give me any advice re how to diagnose this?

DSPToolkit can fail to install a DSP profile without showing an error.

sigmatcpserver output will look like this:

ERROR:root:couldn't find program end signature, something is wrong with the DSP program memory

I etched an SD with HIFIBerry OS and booted it on a RPi 3B with an AMP+.

At the first boot it stopped after 2 min and I couldn't access the RPI via the WIFI AP (didn't tried an ethernet cable yet).

I then disconnected it then from the power and plugged it in again. At first it tried to activate the AMP+ (green light which didn't showed up during the very first boot) with a loud crackle noise from the loudspeakers.

30 sec in shut down as if there was too much power drawn and tried to boot again. And now it seems it's stuck in that loop. Power up, load a bit, crackle, shut down, power up, load a bit, crackle....

Any idea what might that be?

When restoring the volume, the DAC+ ADC Pro's input is muted.

Hi

I have a HiFiBerry Digi+ Pro on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2 (connected via OPT to some Nubert active speakers if that's relevant) which worked fine under HiFiBerry OS 20200226.

Since the update I cannot hear any music. Using Roon it's hard enough to get the stream starting (sometimes it works, sometimes not). Volume fixed or not makes no difference. Same when I try to play from Roon but via AirPlay.

From iPhone via AirPlay usually starts streaming, but still no sound (Volume full throttle).

Something broken in the new release?

Thanks in advance & regards,
Losty

Hi,

I'd like to leave my HiFiBerryOS device in always-discoverable mode, but with a user-settable PIN to guard against unauthorised pairings.

I intend to try to learn about BlueZ and all the underlying bits & pieces so I can contribute a PR. But in the meantime, if someone more familiar with the BlueZ/BlueALSA stack wants to take a look, that'd be great!

When I try to enable bluetooth in the user interface it doenst work.
I'm ussing a fresh image and tried by flashing several times and still not working.
I'm ussing a raspberry pi 4
Thanks!

Pi3 ++ Hifiberry DAC+Pro

I have two RP3b+AMP2 with one speaker each (R, L) with LMS in sync. During LMS playback, audio volume spikes occur, which are quite annoying. Sometimes not for hours, sometimes multiple times a minute. In alsamixer, Digital volume will increase from e.g. 20 to 36 and back within one second. My assumption is that another application is attempting to set the volume but is overwritten by squeezelite again, but I could not figure out which one. I turned off all the other applications in hifiberry.conf, it had no effect.

# cat /etc/hifiberry.conf
system_name="HiFiBerry"

wifi_ssid=NETWORK
wifi_psk=NETPASS
wifi_country=DE
wifi_enable=1

spotify_enable=0
spotify_user=user
spotify_password=pass

airplay_enable=0

roon_enable=0

squeezebox_enable=1

bluetooth_enable=0

sound_initialvolume="30%"

auto_pause=0

scrobbler_network=librefm
scrobbler_apikey=hifiberryos
scrobbler_apisecret=hifiberryiscool
scrobbler_username=myuser
scrobbler_password=mypassword

The problem was circumvented by letting squeezelite use software volume rather than giving it access to Digital.

# vi /usr/lib/systemd/system/squeezelite.service
ExecStart=/usr/bin/squeezelite -o default -M HiFiBerry -N /var/squeezelite/squeezelite.name
# systemctl daemon-reload
# systemctl restart squeezelite

Digital is now set to 100% at all times and no further spikes occurred. For my use case (as I use LMS exclusively) it's fine this way.

Is there any quality downside for lettings squeezelite handle the volume in software rather than the Digital output directly?

After restarting the system, spotify volume control isn't working (with Beocreate 4 channel amplifier)
Changing volume via alsamixer works, but not via the Spotify client

I use the HifiBerry RPi4 with the DAC+DSP and HiFiBerry OS. I play music overnight to sleep, but in the morning, it is never playing. I'm not sure how long it plays. I have a Chromecast Audio that I used to use for this purpose and it could play overnight, so I don't believe it is a problem with the Spotify phone app. Perhaps a timeout setting?

Hi,

works great, love it brought my aging but fairly good HiFi back to life.

One slight bug, I think, is that using the web interface I start the radio playing (Radio Caroline of course). Then when the phone screen blanks the radio stops playing. The radio is not using blue tooth.

Rebooting while radio playing, restarts the HiFi Berry with the radio playing and will continue to play when phone goes to standby.

Thanks

Martyn

When disabling bluetooth and/or MPD using the webUI at the next reboot they are enabled again.

Hi! First of all, thank you for such an amazing piece of software. The experience is really polished!

Currently I have a RPi + BeoCreate board which is connected to a TV via TOSLINK. This TV also has a Nvidia Shield hooked up via HDMI. Unfortunately, the only way to control the volume using the Shield remote seems to be infrared (apart from Bluetooth, but my Pi is a 3B).

• Is there a way to configure LIRC using the standard build of HiFiBerryOS?
• If not, should I create an audiocontrol2 plugin, a custom build of HiFiBerryOS or both? Is there a way to integrate this functionality and make OTA updates not delete it?
• Are you considering adding support for IR in a similar way as the rotary controller from audiocontrol2? I can also look into making a PR into audiocontrol2 for this if I have the time.

Thanks again for everything!

After the update to 20200327 my DAC Pro is not coming up anymore, seems like a problem with network. Strangely, if I connect an hdmi monitor everything works... slower, but it comes up.
Also, as reported by another user, the log collection doesn’t work.

I have two pi4 with DiGi+, updated both today and one went through absolutely fine, but the other didn't take. The one that fail was visible in Roon, but streaming would only happen for about 10 seconds and it'd just die and disappear from Roon. It will only reappear after a re-start but still could not stream for more than 10 seconds or so.

For the one that failed, I downloaded the image from the website and proceeded a 'clean' install.

This sadly didn't work. Tried with 2 different cards and unzipped using the 'normal' windows tool and 7-zip. No difference. I can actually stream to it in Roon fine and it does not die after a while but the GUI does not load at all. I get a grey screen with "next step" on the bottom left-hand corner which I cannot click as it is greyed out.

Please help.

Hi,
I am a user of beocreate4CA and hifiberryOS(20200403). It's a really great music player. When I use Rasberry3B. Everything is OK.
But when I change to Rasberry4B there are some errors.

• Can't control the main volume @ optical input (I can control volume in volume limit. Other sources are OK.)
• the main volume is less loud then rasberry3. Rasberry3 is good level @50 but Rasberry4 is good @90
  How can I solve these issures?
  Thanks in advance!!

I can enable any number of sources but if the unit is restarted, the only source that remains enabled is Bluetooth. Everything else needs to be re-enabled.
