The drop down is the list of OUTPUT DACS - just because the DAC is supported does not mean the ADC is also supported. Sometime there are two sets of drivers one for input and one for output - sometime combined. I don't know the current availability and level of support. These are questions for the pCP developers. BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE - I THINK YOU MAKE A POST ON THE PCP THREAD HTTPS://FORUMS.SLIMDEVICES.COM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?109404-ANNOUNCE-PICOREPLAYER-4-0-0 (ALL THE PCP DEVELOPERS READ IT AND THEY HAVE MANY DACS WHICH ARE USED WHEN TESTING PCP RELEASES ) AND ASK WHETHER THE INPUT ADC IS SUPPORTED ? YOU SHOULD GET A DEFINITIVE ANSWER YES , NO OR PERHAPS A SET OF INSTRUCTION ON HOW TO INSTALL A DRIVER. As PCP 4.1.0 was released in Nov 2018 and the ADC card was only release on Nov 2018 - I think this new HIfiberry DAC+ ADC card was not tested. PCP - used a RAM based reduced version of Linux called Tiny Core Linux. This means if playing internet streams or accessing files over network - no "disk" activity. It also means after "installing" items such as a plugin or a driver - you need to check on the PCP way of making it "permanent" - otherwise it will be goine after a power down. This is a well known task and many instructions for it. The Input ADC will need a device driver. The device driver needs to be built for the PCP version of Linux - IIRC you just cannot take a driver suited for Raspbian or similar Pi based Linux. If you're lucky it is already included in the PCP build. If not the PCP developers may be able to provide the driver if Hifiberry provides a single driver module for all their boards and it needs to be updated to keep PCP support current. I would think your skills would not be up to building your own driver for the ADC. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110345 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
