I tried to install on my friend Pi4 Volumio under 3.601 ver. Peppy Meter. It works on 7" Waveshare 1024 x 600. After start Peppy Meter with right resolution I have faulty screen. We tried on clean copy Volumio one more time and still the same. I tried with 1.3 and 1.3.9 ver.
Few months ago on older Volumio Peppy Meter works good.
Some ideas??
I have the same problem you had - music stops after 10 secs+/-. Your solution is very strange. Any guess on an explanation?
Hi @eMCZe - please try to set in boot\userconfig.txt
disable_overscan=1
and (or):
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_cvt=1024 600 60 3 0 0 0
I will try evening one more time. Yesterday when I put to userconfig full configuration for LCD like from older Volumio ver. system not started.
but I probably copied all old userconfig and maybe it was to much
Have you tried setting alsa configuration to modular alsa in peppymeter.
Hi @2aCD ,
In a conversation with @balbuze , regarding FusionDSP and some glitches I have in sound, He has made a suggestion which I believe makes sense, even if not solving entirely my issue, since FusionDSP, as all DSPs do introduce some delay.
The suggestion is:
“Peppymeter allsa contribution should be after FusionDsp in asound.conf”
Makes sense? Is it feasable?

michel8166,
I had tried that previously and just tried it again. Doesn’t help.
My issue of Spotify music stopping doesn’t seem to be related to FusionDSP as it stops with that plugin installed, disabled or removed. It is strange that the music stop is not consistent - sometimes after 10 seconds, sometimes after 1 min+. Then it goes on to the next song in the queue. I’ve tried fixed Peppy meter and random. Same for both.
It doesn’t do it on Pandora which is the only other service I have. Peppymeter performs fine there.
FYI, I am using Volumio 3.569 and latest versions of the plugins.
It is clearly (?) a Spotify/Peppymeter interaction issue but not clear why others aren’t experiencing it. Weird. Anyway, I am at a loss for next step.
I guess I’ll just keep watching this forum and hope a future post will shed some light.
Thanks for the reply
Frank M.
then we’ll have to wait for 2aCD.
Am I the only person that doesn’t have any problem playing Spotify with PeppyMeter 1.3.9 installed? All of my RPi4, RPi5 and TBS don’t have issue at all. Songs play as normal (no skipping), VUs move. The only issue that I have is with RPi5 on scanning music from my NAS. 
Volumio version 3.601
PeppyMeter Plugin 1.3.9
Touch Display 3.3.7
Sorry I don’t use FusionDSP.

Hi, I had test the configuration with PeppyMeter after fusion DSD. It didn’t want to work. Therefore it is placed now before. I‘ll check again. But with DSDnative setting, peppyMeter use a separate output of MPD without change of music pipeline. that will always be faster than the DSP.
I‘ll look what I can do. A delay implementation for PeppyMeter is only possible in peppyalsa. I‘ll speak about this with peppy.player
My Peppymeter also works with Spotify 
Many thanks 
It works for me on Rpi4, have not test it on Rpi5 yet.
Volumio 3.601
Now Playing 0.5.4
PeppyMeter 1.3.9
FusionDSP 1.0.53
Touch Display 3.3.7
I don’t use Spotify at the moment so I can’t tell about that. I have some glitches and stuttering sound some times but that’s after hours of listening. this happens even when I use FusionDSP alone.
As I understand it Peppy should be after DSP in chain as DSP introduce a delay about 800ms.
Best Regards/ C
Oooo and especially for me red one too 
Thanks !!
Andy,
Happy you have it working. Gives me hope. In an effort to see where my (non-working) installation may differ from yours, could I ask you to check some settings.
I have:
Volumio version 3.601
PeppyMeter Plugin 1.3.9
Touch Display 3.3.7
Spotify 4.04
I am playing via a RPI 4, Waveshare 1280x400 HDMI display, output via the Pi USB through a Topping D10S. This is a fresh install. Getting no sound at all even though the Spotify app shows song progress.
Settings within Volumio and the plugins are:
Volumio
Audio Output-D10s, I2S DAC-Off, DSD Playback Mode-DSD Direct, DSD Auto Volume Leve-Off, Volume Normalization-Off, Audio Buffer Size-2MB, Persisten Queue-On, Playback Mode-Continuous, Mixer Type-None, Defined Startup Volume-50, Max Volume Level-100, One Click Volume Steps-1, MPD Clients Volume Control-Off, Audio Resampling-Off
Spotify
Bitrate-320kbps, Normalization Pre-Gain-1.0, Device Icon-AV Receiver
Peppymeter
Alsa Configuration-DSD Native(separate pipe), Spotify Integration-on, Screensaver Timeout-15, Active Meter Folder-Wide (2 channels 1280x400), Smooth Needle-8, Needle cache-on, Mouse support-on, VU-Meter-Random, Random-On Title Change
Touch Display Configuration
Screensaver Timeout-120, No screensaver while playing -on, Rotate screen content by-90, Control GPU Memory-on, Show Mouse Pointer-off, Scale Factor-100
When you have a chance, would you advise where your settings are different from mine. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Frank,
I do have one set up on RPi4 with a Waveshare 1280x400 HDMI (7.9") and my configuration works perfectly. Here are my set up:
Volumio Options (under General Playback Options): None
** (When you set to “None” you should not have an option to the following: “Defined Startup Volume-50, Max Volume Level-100, One Click Volume Steps-1, MPD Clients Volume Control-Off”
PeppyMeter. Timeout 5 sec is what I like. I’m not hooking a mouse to RPi so the Mouse Support is set to “Off”. Active Meter Folder is "Wide (2 channels 1280x400)
Touch Display: I like timeout at 15 sec. NO Rotate Screen because it handles in the /boot/config.txt.
Does your /boot/config.txt look like this:
1280*400 Wide Screen set up:
/boot/config.txt
initramfs volumio.initrd
#GPU_MEM=32
max_usb_current=1
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_timings=400 0 100 10 140 1280 10 20 20 2 0 0 0 60 0 43000000 3
hdmi_blanking=1
display_rotate=3
dtparam=audio=on
audio_pwm_mode=2
dtparam=i2c_arm=on
disable_splash=1
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
force_eeprom_read=0
include userconfig.txt
Try my set up. I think you should be okay.
Best regards,
Andy
Andy,
OK, I created a fresh install of all and set it up like yours. Tested it “on the bench” with “Playback options” set to “headphones” and using my headphones it worked great. I took it to my main setup and removed the headphones, connected my Topping D10s DAC via the USB, changed the Playback Options to “D10s” and lo and behold, the songs stop playing mid song.
So, it appears it might have something to do with “Playback Option” selection in Volumio and/or physical output on the Pi (headphone versus USB).
How is your output connected?
Thanks
Frank
