Re: [PD] Raspberry Pi USB2 audio fixed (apparently)

2013-07-04 Thread Pierre Massat
OK.
For your information, pulseaudio doesn't come with the new version of
Raspbian apparently (I couldn't remove it cause it wasn't there !). No idea
why.
Pd seems to work a little bit with my soundcard, but after a couple of
seconds everything freezes. I'll try with no gui in the coming days.
Cheers,

Pierre.

 'off Millers site' not 'of'

 And also another thing with the power supply.  Although 1a is supposed to
 be fine 2a actually works really well if you're driving any peripherals,
 giving plenty of overhead.

 Hey Pierre,

 I've installed Pd from the pre-compiled version of Millers site, and most

 kindly walked me through the tricky bits (thread in archives installing Pd
 from source on rpi should bring it right up).  The version from the repo's
 works just fine but I wanted to test out (though didn't end up making use
 of) [gpio] which requires 0.44 or later.

 I got the power supply from here:

 https://www.modmypi.com/5v-2A-modmypi-raspberry-pi-power-supply?filter_name=power%20supply

 The soundcard I've been using the most (ESI UDJ - thanks Antoine:) has no
 audio input so no good info on full duplex.  I've been messing around with
 the imic running duplex (with usb-slowdown) and had been getting reasonable
 results (10-12ms) but running pretty light patches.  Sorry can't be more
 precise as I haven't given this card as much attention.

 Julian

 Hi Julian,
 This Moebius distro looks very interesting. Can you please tell us how
 you installed Pd ? From the Raspbian repos ?
 Have you tried it with full duplex with your soundcard yet ? What
 latency are you getting (I can't get below 15 ms in Raspbian with some fft
 in my patch) ?

 Also is this think about the power supply true ? They mention it too on
 the Satellite CCRMA webpage. Where can I buy a power cable that outputs 5.2
 V ? I'm currently using a samsung smartphone charger.

 That's a lot of questions but you made me curious (and hopeful again) !

 I'm having good results from using a much leaner install - it's called
 Mobius:
 http://moebiuslinux.sourceforge.net/

 Obviously depends on your usage but I'm ssh'ing into the pi and works
 great.  The minimal install seems to help with overclocking too so I reckon
 I'm getting about another 35-40% out of the pi.

 The main project I've been working on has a pmpd patch that the regular
 raspbian wouldn't even run, on top of that I'm driving a couple of sensors
 (thanks Martin:), audio synthesis, got a reasonably complex quad
 spacialisation patch (thanks Lorenzo:) and is driving a 6 channel
 soundcard.  This is without the usb-slowdown option.

 Obviously it's pushing the Pi right up to the limit but it runs* 
 just*about stably.

 What I do think made a significant difference was switching the power
 cable to one that outputs 5.2v so by the time it gets to the pi it's a
 solid 5v.

 recently built it from source which took a bit more doing but Miller very
 kindly walked me through the tricky bits (thread in archives installing Pd
 from source on rpi should bring it right up).  The version from the repo's
 works just fine but I wanted to test out (though didn't end up making use
 of) [gpio] which requires 0.44 or later.

 I got the power supply from here:

 https://www.modmypi.com/5v-2A-modmypi-raspberry-pi-power-supply?filter_name=power%20supply

 The soundcard I've been using the most (ESI UDJ - thanks Antoine:) has no
 audio input so no good info on full duplex.  I've been messing around with
 the imic running duplex (with usb-slowdown) and had been getting reasonable
 results (10-12ms) but running pretty light patches.  Sorry can't be more
 precise as I haven't given this card as much attention.

 Regards,

 Julian

 Hi Julian,
 This Moebius distro looks very interesting. Can you please tell us how
 you installed Pd ? From the Raspbian repos ?
 Have you tried it with full duplex with your soundcard yet ? What latency
 are you getting (I can't get below 15 ms in Raspbian with some fft in my
 patch) ?

 Also is this think about the power supply true ? They mention it too on
 the Satellite CCRMA webpage. Where can I buy a power cable that outputs 5.2
 V ? I'm currently using a samsung smartphone charger.

 That's a lot of questions but you made me curious (and hopeful again) !

 Cheers,

 Pierre.

 I'm having good results from using a much leaner install - it's called
 Mobius:
 http://moebiuslinux.sourceforge.net/

 Obviously depends on your usage but I'm ssh'ing into the pi and works
 great.  The minimal install seems to help with overclocking too so I reckon
 I'm getting about another 35-40% out of the pi.

 The main project I've been working on has a pmpd patch that the regular
 raspbian wouldn't even run, on top of that I'm driving a couple of sensors
 (thanks Martin:), audio synthesis, got a reasonably complex quad
 spacialisation patch (thanks Lorenzo:) and is driving a 6 channel
 soundcard.  This is without the usb-slowdown option.

 Obviously it's pushing the Pi right up to the limit but it runs* just*about 
 stably.

 What I do think made a significant difference was switching the power
 cable to one that outputs 5.2v so by the time it gets to the pi it's a
 solid 5v.

 Yeah I tried that out a few months ago when we started the thread. Jack
 adds some unnecessary overhead in my opinion and I'm surprised that a
 device that should be more than capable to handle this is just not setup
 correctly. I'm running a minimal commandline install and pd + realtime 
 straight alsa should work great ... it has for me in the past.

 His jack setup basically uses *all* the cpu of the pi, so that cuts out
 the other parts of my setup altogether .. visual, device input, etc. Again,
 I was able to get good latency with a much lower resource machine (until it
 just wore out), so it *should* be possible.

 Hey Dan,

 Jeremy (autostatic), who setup the 'rpi and low latency, real time
 audio' thread has a UA-25 and seems to have full duplex working with jack
 (this was before the recent tweaks as well):

  Hi all,

 I did a fresh install of Raspbian using the NOOBS installer. The
 pd-extended package from puredata.info doesn't work with my soundcard
 (it wasn't working before). And Pd vanilla installed from the Raspbian
 repositories doesn't work with it either (although it was working fine
 before). My soundcard is an old EMU 0404 USB. By doesn't work I mean 
 that
 it either throws an Audio stuck/closing audio error, or simply freezes
 everything (Pd, LXDE, mouse, everything) and all I can do is unplug the
 power chord.

 So for me not only did it not fix anything, but i'm actually worse off

I also found that powering off a 2amp 5v usb hub gave dramatically better 
results. Full duplex two channels at 44.1khz without dropouts.

I haven't tried Miller's compiled version of Vanilla yet (I still don't

recent Planet CCRMA Satelite for the RPi is also an option.

 Hey all,

 So, umm, yeah.  Is everyone on this already?

 Just got a message saying that an 'rpi-update' should fix the usb2
 problems for soundcards.

 Not checked 'cos I spent bloody ages tracking down soundcards that did
 work.

 Good to know though.

Hey Pierre,

Damn that's rubbish!

Have you checked that pulseaudio is uninstalled?

Also try:
sudo rm /etc/asound.conf

My understanding is that after the recent also fixes the asound.conf is
redundant and can cause issues.

1st couple of options that spring to mind
(also feel bad for promoting possibly duff info:(

Hope you can sort it,

Julian
