Hi there,
... some time ago my voyage-installation got corrupted (presumably
problems 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:
# amixer controls
numid=6,iface=MIXER,name='DSP Program'
numid=3,iface=MIXER,name='Analogue Playback Boost Volume'
numid=2,iface=MIXER,name='Analogue Playback Volume'
numid=10,iface=MIXER,name='Auto Mute Mono Switch'
numid=11,iface=MIXER,name='Auto Mute Switch'
numid=8,iface=MIXER,name='Auto Mute Time Left'
numid=9,iface=MIXER,name='Auto Mute Time Right'
*numid=18,iface=MIXER,name='BT Speaker'*
numid=7,iface=MIXER,name='Clock Missing Period'
numid=5,iface=MIXER,name='Deemphasis Switch'
numid=4,iface=MIXER,name='Digital Playback Switch'
*numid=1,iface=MIXER,name='Digital Playback Volume'*
numid=16,iface=MIXER,name='Volume Ramp Down Emergency Rate'
numid=17,iface=MIXER,name='Volume Ramp Down Emergency Step'
numid=12,iface=MIXER,name='Volume Ramp Down Rate'
numid=13,iface=MIXER,name='Volume Ramp Down Step'
numid=14,iface=MIXER,name='Volume Ramp Up Rate'
numid=15,iface=MIXER,name='Volume Ramp Up Step'
The two bold marked entries are those of interest. In my /etc/mpd.conf I
have the following:
mixer_type "hardware"
[...]
audio_output {
type "alsa"
name "HiFi-Berry DAC+"
device "hw:0,0"
priority "FIFO:32"
# mixer_control "Digital Playback Volume"
# mixer_control "Digital" ### different name of control
in alsamixer
mixer_index "1"
}
audio_output {
type "alsa"
name "TempiTec BT-Speaker"
device "btspeaker_softvol"
# mixer_control "BT Speaker"
mixer_index "18"
[...]
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:
pcm.!default {
type hw card 0
}
ctl.!default {
type hw card 0
}
pcm.btspeaker
{
type plug
slave
{
pcm
{
type bluetooth
device 00:11:22:33:44:55
profile "auto"
}
}
}
pcm.btspeaker_softvol
{
type softvol
slave.pcm "btspeaker"
control.name "BT Speaker"
control.card 0
}
ctl.btspeaker
{
type bluetooth
}
However, mpd seems to try to access in both cases a mixer control called
"PCM":
Jan 01 00:00 : inotify: Failed to register
/var/lib/mpd/music/media/local/lost+found: inotify_add_watch() has
failed: Permission denied
Jan 01 00:00 : Failed to open mixer for 'HiFi-Berry DAC+': no such
mixer control: PCM
Jan 01 00:00 : avahi: Service name collision, renaming service to
'Voyage Music Player #2'
Jan 01 00:00 : avahi: Service 'Voyage Music Player #2' successfully
established.
Jul 04 15:22 : Failed to open mixer for 'TempiTec BT-Speaker': no
such mixer control: PCM
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!
Stefan.
