Howard, Please dont take this the wrong way. But I cannot follow anything you said. One thing that seems to be a common thread..folks are using the Audio Optimized kernel, and have no idea what it actually does. These versions are tweaked to reduce latency, They should not be setup

I don’t test any WiFi with the AO version. Again, I’m not going to recommend it to anyone. If you want to play with it, and it sounds better to you, then great. piCorePlayer a small player for the Raspberry Pi in RAM. Homepage: https://www.picoreplayer.org Please 'donate'

Hi Howard, I can understand your frustrations! Although we have documented the limitations and given warnings many times all over the place, it really depends on when you came into the conversation, and it is highly possible to download and install the Audio version missing all the warnings,

Hi Paul, Not sure what wasn't clear. probably talking about 4 different pi's with 4 different uses. I will say that when someone offers a "Audio Optimized" anything, a lot of us will jump at it. It kind of insinuates it would be useful for anything related to music reproduction. Some of us use

Greg and Paul, Just upgraded a second pCP from piCorePlayer 4.0.0-b4 to piCorePlayer 4.0.0-b5 and the SSID stuff all worked. A camel is a racehorse designed by a committee. Seen sprayed on the outside wall of the local library - Three things I hate in life : 1. Vandalism 2. Irony 3. Lists

Hi All, I have been using the Pi i2s either standalone or through Allo reclocker and isolator successfully with many diy dac. Recently my friend lends me a Singxer dac that does not have any CMOS i2s but only a 3.3V Differential HDMI i2s connector. I have tried to connect my Pi HDMI into this

Greg, 1. If you could include the paste URL in your post it will make it easier for us to find- not quite sure where that URL comes from, must be from Pastebin, I will look out for it next time. 2. When you first did the 3.5.0 to 4.0.0-b5 upgrade and it didn't connect, did you try multiple

I guess I spoke a little too soon. I update my pi3B to 4.0AudioCore and WiFi didn't work so I went back to 4.0.0-B5 and WiFi still doesn't work. Is there a way to go back to 3.50? Not listed on the available updates. Also, went ahead and update an old pi B. It actually worked fine up until I

I've updated two out of 4 of my pi's with perfect results. I do have a question about something I may have just noticed. Was there a warning about running LMS with the AudioCore in 3.5.0? I've been running two of my pi's that way on 3.5.0 and haven't had any issues. I can change it on my home
