I don't think you are just "bringing the HiFiBerry issue up"....... The issue (if you can even call it that) was that you wanted squeezelite (third party software with it's own built in 32bit softvol control) to use the hardware volume control on a specific audio card. You noticed at max volume it distorted. It distorted because that mixer volume control doesn't max out at 0db, it can apply as much as 24db gain. Is it broken for doing that? No! Is the software that you are using broken because it is expecting or depending on specific behaviour but your hardware differs? No! Simple, your hardware and software is incompatible. I gave you a way of making it compatible. I know you have the capability to be building kernels and you are well known for customising things. (Alternatively, you could have just set the gain to 0db on the mixer control and used internal squeezelite softvol. No behaviour changes or patches required.) I do not expect everyone to be capable of patching and building kernels. Neither does HiFiBerry. That's why they sent a pull request to RPi for a patch, that would result in the downstream RPi kernel having a way to limit the gain of that Digital control for their hardware. At the point it (or something similar) is accepted and becomes part of the RPi source, it becomes part of the binary distributions. eg. Raspbian. It will be in pico. (I'm sure Steen builds from RPi source.) It will not require individual users to have the capability to patch and build kernels. That's exactly what HiFiBerry is trying to achieve! Your latest complaint appears to be that if you select to apply a filter option, whereby it is expected that the filter will have been developed by and uploaded by the user, rather than one of the pre-defined built-in ones, but haven't actually uploaded a custom filter to the DAC chip, you don't get any sound...... And HiFiBerry are at fault, because you don't understand that by selecting that option, you are expected to provide a filter...... That's some sort of great big warning didn't boom out from the heavens...... "Soundcheck, please do not select that option. It's for experienced users who have the capability to design and upload filters ONLY!!!!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JackOfAll's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3069 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97046 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
