Re: [Voyage-linux] Raspberry 2B and HiFi-Berry DAC+ -- Keyborad Volume Problems after re-install
Hey Punky,
thanks for your quick reply.

I tried the mixer_control Digital before. - But probably with other
conflicting settings. Now I got the following in my/etc/mpd.conf, and
this works:
audio_output {
typealsa
nameHiFi-Berry DAC+
device hw:0,0
priorityFIFO:32
mixer_control Digital
}
However, it seems that the alsa driver for the DAC+ has changed, as the
controls are now somewhat different. - I got (now) the same scontrols as
you have:
root@voyage-mubox:~# amixer scontrols
Simple mixer control 'DSP Program',0
Simple mixer control 'Analogue',0
Simple mixer control 'Analogue Playback Boost',0
Simple mixer control 'Auto Mute',0
Simple mixer control 'Auto Mute Mono',0
Simple mixer control 'Auto Mute Time Left',0
Simple mixer control 'Auto Mute Time Right',0
Simple mixer control 'Clock Missing Period',0
Simple mixer control 'Deemphasis',0
Simple mixer control 'Digital',0
Simple mixer control 'Volume Ramp Down Emergency Rate',0
Simple mixer control 'Volume Ramp Down Emergency Step',0
Simple mixer control 'Volume Ramp Down Rate',0
Simple mixer control 'Volume Ramp Down Step',0
Simple mixer control 'Volume Ramp Up Rate',0
Simple mixer control 'Volume Ramp Up Step',0
But I'm not sure as to how to setup alsa optimal.
I got no clue as to the differences between the DSP Programs. And
althogh I'm using an analogue output, I have both Analogue and
Analogue Playback Boost unset, as the level of the output signal is
exremely high. I'm pretty sure it used to be lower. When I have
Digital at around 55% that's plenty of output level - And if I go
above I get a distorted signal. - Is this supposed to be this way? With
the old alsa-driver I got a clean signal at 100%. - Are there any
tweaks for this?
For keyboard and bt speaker I really cannot help, I only have US
keyboard and DAC+.
The above also helped me to resolve the Bluetooth speaker issue. Now I
got the following in my/etc/mpd.conf, and this works:
audio_output {
typealsa
nameTempiTec BT-Speaker
device btspeaker_softvol
mixer_control BT Speaker
}
Regarding the Keyboard: It's not a nagging problem, as I usually only
access my 2B via ssh. But maybe there any other folks out there, who got
their national keyboard to work. - If so, please share, you made it work.
Thanks a lot for your assistance and have a nice day!
Greetings from Germany!
Stefan.

Hi Stefan,
mixer_control in /etc/mpd should be set to Digital. You should use amixer
scontrols to check:
root@voyage-mubox:~# amixer scontrols
Simple mixer control 'DSP Program',0
Simple mixer control 'Analogue',0
Simple mixer control 'Analogue Playback Boost',0
Simple mixer control 'Auto Mute',0
Simple mixer control 'Auto Mute Mono',0
Simple mixer control 'Auto Mute Time Left',0
Simple mixer control 'Auto Mute Time Right',0
Simple mixer control 'Clock Missing Period',0
Simple mixer control 'Deemphasis',0
Simple mixer control 'Digital',0
Simple mixer control 'Volume Ramp Down Emergency Rate',0
Simple mixer control 'Volume Ramp Down Emergency Step',0
Simple mixer control 'Volume Ramp Down Rate',0
Simple mixer control 'Volume Ramp Down Step',0
Simple mixer control 'Volume Ramp Up Rate',0
Simple mixer control 'Volume Ramp Up Step',0
Also check if DAC+ is set as hw:0, using the following commands.
root@voyage-mubox:~# cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [sndrpihifiberry]: snd_rpi_hifiber - snd_rpi_hifiberry_dacplus
snd_rpi_hifiberry_dacplus
For keyboard and bt speaker I really cannot help, I only have US keyboard and
DAC+.

Hi there,

with the SD-card), so I choose to re-install.
First of all I was somewhat surprised, that voyage-mubox-rpi is still Wheezy and not yet Jessie. - I remember vaguely
that I read on the list, that there was already an update to jessie. - Strange.
Moreover, I do not get German keyboard on the console. My issue of
# apt-get install keyboard-configuration
and the subsequent settings of a German keyboard does not lead to any changes, not even after a re-boot. - This is
strange too.
However, now we come to the real annoying issue: mpd volume control does not get working. Both outputs (HiFi Berry
DAC+ and Bluetooth Speaker) are working and can be toggled. However, now after the re-install I seem to have different
alsa-controls. - Namely:

The two bold marked entries are those of interest. In my /etc/mpd.conf I have

As you can see in the commented lines, I have already played a bit around. - To no avail. The bluetooth speaker is
defined in my /etc/asound.conf as follows:

What am I missing here?
It must co-relate to the temperatures (outside 39°C, and no A/C in the
house ...).
Thanks a lot in advance!
