Thanks Paul, 

Katana is rather good in spite of its teething probs.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] BETA: piCorePlayer 4.0.0

2018-08-13 Thread John Luckins


I have got the Katana DAC up and running on  a Pi 3 B. Volume was low so
raised the ALSA volume and then noticed about a half octave lift in the
pitch of all songs, both FLAC converted to WAV from Qobuz and WAVs
44.1kHz from a USB library are affected. I vaguely recall hearing of
this before when the wrong sampling rate was being given by the master
DAC but a search here and of the Katana thread on DIY audio raised
nothing similar. I didn't notice it at the low volumes so lifting the
ALSA volume might have provoked it but that seems unlikely. Has anyone
come across this effect before? Software or Hardware I wonder.

Grateful for any help as ever...

John 

PS I got wpa_supplicant.conf working now. Twas just windows adding an
unwanted .txt extension to the boot file. Beginners luck!

Version 4.00 b6 doesn't want to connect wifi on a Pi ZeroW. I've
followed the  wpa_supplicant.conf instructions and tested them from the
same SD card in a Pi3b and wireless connects. Same card won't initiate
wifi on the zeroW. I've also tried adding the SSID, etc directly to the
pizero but to no avail. The drivers don't get loaded in either case. 

I have an open network with no password and use the GB country code.
Everything is fine with version 3.5 and it failed initially after an in
situ update. Tried two Pi Zero's and two different SD cards. Results
consistent. Do you think wifi can be enabled with this new version on a
Pi Zero W? 

Grateful for any help.

John
