What is your Pi model?

Jrobert10 · October 17, 2023, 8:22am

I am using RasPi 4 Model B 8GB.

I had been following these directions … https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/5inch_1080x1080_LCD#Feature

When I open up volumio, I get a black and white version of volumio with no sound.

BTW, thanks for responding gvolt!!!

gvolt · October 17, 2023, 8:27am

Is that your display or do you have the 4" DSI model which was subject of the OP?

Jrobert10 · October 17, 2023, 9:10am

I have been using the 5inch model …
BTW, here is what the screen looks like …

Jrobert10 · October 17, 2023, 9:11am

And this is what my settings are in config.txt

gvolt · October 17, 2023, 9:40am

That looks OK. Volumio’s user interface is just not prepared for round displays.

To show the corners of the UI cut off from the circular shape of the display, IMHO you would have to limit the used area of the display to the largest rectangle possible in the circle. You could try out wether setting overscan options in “/boot/userconfig.txt” like

disable_overscan=1
overscan_left=158
overscan_right=158
overscan_top=158
overscan_bottom=158

achieves that.

It appears if I change gpu_mem = 64, I get the black screen version of the UI but still no sound

Jrobert10 · October 18, 2023, 10:13am

Let me play with the Live Log on the dev screen next. I’ll see if I can get some clues

Jrobert10 · October 18, 2023, 10:16am

Thanks for your help, gvolt!!! Iv’e come too far to give up now. Just want to try a couple of things … This is what I get i the LIve Log when I click the play button in one of my Spotify stations …

gvolt · October 18, 2023, 10:21am

Could you post a picture showing this UI?

Are you referring to sound from the earphone jack respectively speaker header on the display’s circuit board? If so you might have to add

hdmi_drive=2

to “/boot/userconfig.txt”.

gvolt · October 18, 2023, 10:35am

This error seems to be related to Spotify (https://community.volumio.com/t/spotify-is-not-working-not-found-device-id/58357, https://community.volumio.com/t/new-volumio-spotify-plugin-open-beta-testing/56406/618). I can’t help you with this.

Are you able to play music from other sources?

Jrobert10 · October 19, 2023, 8:51am

gvolt, THANKS FOR HANGING IN WITH ME ON THIS!!!

When I added the “hdmi_drive=2” line to config.txt, I still get no sound from the sound jack on the board - or from my speakers. Here is what I see in the LIve Log when I click on one of the Web radio stations …

Which output device is set in the “General Playback Options”?

Do you also have a DAC connected?

Jrobert10 · October 19, 2023, 11:44am

I’ve got a HIfiBerry Amp card connected …

gvolt · October 19, 2023, 11:58am

… and which output device is set in the “General Playback Options”?

Jrobert10 · October 19, 2023, 8:49pm

My whole setup got fired somehow … I have to reinstall volumio on my pi … But I will be back !!!

Jrobert10 · October 20, 2023, 8:36am

So now I am trying to get a standard rectangular screen going. I have the Hifiberry Amp 100 board with a RasPi 4 8GB. This worked before - but I forgot the settings for these … Can anyone offer assistance? (Note: I thought I had backed up the imate but it turns out the backup failed) Everything working properly in teh UI - but no sound …

gvolt · October 20, 2023, 9:05am

I suggest opening a separate thread for the sound problem to get more attention for this.

P.S.: For the selected HiFiBerry DAC+ Pro the overlay set in “/boot/config.txt” would be “hifiberry-dacplus” (I think ). You might have to change that to

dtoverlay=hifiberry-amp100

Jrobert10 · October 20, 2023, 8:09pm

Thanks, gvolt!! I made sure that I had that in config.txt … but, sadly, still no sound … working on other options

gvolt · October 20, 2023, 8:21pm

Did you try removing the DAC and just checking if you get sound at least from the Pi’s headphone jack or HDMI port?
