Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] WaveInput plugin and Cirrus Logic (Wolfson) audio card

2021-02-12 Thread Grumpy Bob


Thanks all, for your replies. I will potter around with this over the
weekend.

Ronnie - yes I can investigate other operating systems, but my
preference would be to use pCP for consistency. I am reasonably familiar
with Linux, so should be OK.

Paul - yes, I'm aware of the need for a phono stage, and was thinking of
taking the audio output from the amp rather than directly from the
turntable. My current phono stage gas a USB out put for recording, e.g.
with Audacity, so another option might be to take output from there.
Perhaps a Pi Zero WH with direct USB input from the phono stage might
work better. I've also got a Behringer UFO-202 which might be helpful.

bpa - Thanks also for that hint. 

A weekend of tinkering awaits! (Assuming I'm not called on to pick up
some marking duties).

Best wishes,

Robert

It would be better to use 

arecord -l

as that would only show the valid capture devices  - "aplay -L" shows
ALL alsa device playback and capture.

WaveInput is a LMS plugin and so audio input will only work on the Pi
which has both the Line-in hardware and LMS.

If want to use a Line-in on a PCP player (i.e. no LMS) - IIRC there is a
PCP facility to take Line input and stream it as a Http MP3 stream and
so "Line-in" can be played as a Favorite.

ciao Roberto !:)

I have switched to Raspberry PI OS Lite on my rpi1b.

That might be a better bet, included the links for your consideration

You could run
aplay -L
to see if any input devices have been recognised by the system.
If they have then you have a good chance of it working.
You might need a pre-amp between the turntable and the Pi.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] WaveInput plugin and Cirrus Logic (Wolfson) audio card

2021-02-12 Thread Grumpy Bob


One of my pCP players is a model 2 Raspberry Pi (no built-in wifi or
bluetooth). It has a Cirrus Logic (Wolfson) audio card fitted, which
works very well and I'm using this Pi to drive Bluetooth headphones via
a USB bluetooth stick. The other USB socket has the USB WiFi stick.

The Cirrus Logic has a line level audio input as well as a variety of
outputs, though I don't know how to access that input. Incidentally, I
am running pCP 6.1.0 on this Pi, because 7.0.0 doesn't seem to support
the Cirrus Logic card.

I've seen thread discussing how to use the WaveInput plugin to play
turntable music through LMS. I was wondering whether I would be able to
configure the Cirrus Logic card's audio input in a similar way, thereby
enabling the use of this Pi to hook up my bluetooth headphones to my
HiFi when playing vinyl my other half doesn't like! Any clues? or would
it be easier to buy a cheap BT device?

Robert
