Volumio 3 Buster Beta for RPi

balbuze · March 8, 2021, 9:08pm

Please it is clear beta version comes with no plugin and no support for it. You can test what you want but do not ask here. Thanks.

Lintbf · March 8, 2021, 9:10pm

sorry , I have asked only about the /var/log folder size ,I want to use plugins for listening music …
thanks

Please refer to the announcement where we specifically asked testers NOT to install additional software like plugins until we release them for testing.
By joining the testprogram you have accepted to abide by the rules!

Hi,

Allo Piano 2.1 can be set to “Dual Mono” - but still doesn’t work (3.051 and 3.054)

grafik

Interesting: If i switch I2S DAC off, then click on save i get the Piano 2.1 shown in the dropdown with HDMI and headphones.
Then i choose the Piano 2.1 there - then there is sound and it is dual mono.
Only volume control is not working…

Would it be possible to include the new Allo BOSS2 HD DAC.
That would be very nice.

Many Thanks

v3.051 on RPi4 everything seems good. Just out of curiosity enabled ‘test mode’ and checked for updates, and got:

(1) I didn’t think updates were running;
(2) this appears to be (from ‘FIXES’) to be x86 specific.

Update apparently works ok, with system reported as 3.054 but exactly what have I updated?

gkkpch · March 13, 2021, 9:35pm

Yes, these were more x86-specific this time, you can’t always say.
Beta affects both platform ways.

3.054 correct a alsa problem with float format with some files such as wma, and probably other things

Lintbf · March 14, 2021, 9:37am

Hello ,

I have an an issue with DSD files on v 3.054
If I play DSD files in Volumio the files is shown as 5.6 MHZ DSD as seen below

Blockquote
volumio@volumio:~$ volumio status
{
“status”: “play”,
“position”: 0,
“title”: “Hello”,
“artist”: “Adele”,
“album”: “25”,
“albumart”: “/albumart?cacheid=53&web=Adele/25/mega&path=%2FNAS%2FSynology%2FDSD%2FAdele%20-%2025%20(2015)%20%5BDSD128%5D&metadata=false”,
“uri”: “mnt/NAS/Synology/DSD/Adele - 25 (2015) [DSD128]/01. Hello.dsf”,
“trackType”: “dsf”,

“service”: “mpd”
}

On DAC topping display I see 705.6 PCM .

DSD direct mode is set . HW mixer is set .
Thanks for your support

Lintbf · March 14, 2021, 10:20am

I have found the issue . it was stated in an anotehr thread :
:Volumio version 2.779 (Released: Jun 8 18:35:15 CEST 2020) has reversed functions names for “DSD playback mode”: “DSD direct” and “DSD over PCM (DoP)”. Personally, I don’t mind, but it can be confusing for other Volumio users.’
I have boot up with DOP enabled and now on DAC I see 5.64 DSD .
Could you please fix this in beta version .
thanks

It took a couple of tries, but it seems to have connected?

Lintbf · March 15, 2021, 6:35pm

But this one

laluciol6990 · March 15, 2021, 10:02pm

Hi
Thanks for the quick check.
It did connect, but, i think given the strength of the signal and proximity to my router (less than 1meter), it was only using the Raspberry Pi 3 board Wifi, not the TP-LINK USB dongle.
This was for troubleshooting that i put the Raspberry so close (and with ethernet cable), but i am usually using the Raspberry much farther away and need the longer range of the wifi dongle. With Raspberry wifi alone, i usually can’t connect.
You can suggest commands for me to try to troubleshoot a bit, maybe i am wrong with my assessment, but the led of the Wifi dongle doesn’t blink with Volumio 3, yet blinks with Volumio 2.

Regards

Is the RTL8192 EU supported in vanilla Raspbian image? If I recall correctly, it required special drivers that that weren’t included by default with Jessi. I wonder if that is still the case with Buster?

laluciol6990 · March 16, 2021, 5:45am

Hi

I don’t know how to check properly, but doing a search and checking various websites, it seems many are providing specific methods to install that specific driver by download & compile or some just suggest apt-get install firmware-realtek, but it is is a non-free driver.

Big question for me: is it like this now just because Volumio 3 is in Beta and would be fixed when dubbed Stable, or would it stay like this because Volumio 3 would focus on Raspbian vanilla image ?

gkkpch · March 16, 2021, 9:09am

rtl8192eu was part of the set of custom wifi packages which were taken from the MrEngman’s repo, see https://github.com/volumio/Build/blob/a3ed097bbb47a473798ffcf099aed5e16d642bbf/scripts/raspberryconfig.sh#L275

ashthespy · March 16, 2021, 12:50pm

As @Gé said, previously we were pulling in a bunch of custom WiFi drivers from MrEngman’s collection. A lot of them are now in the tree for newer kernels. But the RTL8192EU doesn’t seem to be.

firmware-realtek should already be included, so unsure why it’s not picking up this chipset?

Can you check if it’s installed?

dpkg -l firmware-realtek

We should do an evaluation of what is still required from MrEngman’s collection and fetch them. Ofc, this would be Pi specific, and won’t help other arm boards…

Could you confirm if the drivers compiled by MrEngman work for you?

sudo wget http://downloads.fars-robotics.net/wifi-drivers/install-wifi -O /usr/bin/install-wifi
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/install-wifi
sudo install-wifi

I installed version 3.051 and I still have the same problem with the wireless network: I have to reconfigure it every time the system reboots, which is in Off mode. I use Static IP.
Rasp 3 + Allo Boss

danielfelix · March 17, 2021, 9:02pm

When I installed the latest version of Buster, 3.051, in System Settings, I changed the name of it to “Volumio_3”.
I use Putty and see

volumio @ volumio3: ~ $

And when doing Sudo nano … I continually get

sudo: unable to resolve host volumio3: System error

I fixed it by renaming it to Volumio3 in

sudo nano / etc / hostname

and in

sudo nano / etc / hosts

I use Rasp 3 + Allo Boss + V 3.051
