  • Media Server
  • Spotify Plugin
  • Local Library

Thanks!

If others can provide the same info, that will be very very useful… thanks a lot

I2S ChipDip-DAC works well. If add a string for ChipDip DAC in dacs.json file. DAC’s driver and overlay are already in the Kernel.

Thanks! Since we are moving forward with the kernel, I merged your pull request.

Works!

Just tested playback with a BubbleUPNP Stream (Qobuz) and some random picked Webradios. If you want me to test with Spotify or Qobuz (local) let me know.

I2S DAC is a IQAudio DAC Pro

On a sidenote: the download was ridiculously slow (~110-150 kb/s) and took me about an hour. My internetconnection was OK (did a speedtest while downloading), so maybe you have a bottleneck in your servers?

Since the launch of Volumio 3 we saw a great spike in usage on all our servers…
So we are upgrading all of them and scaling them up…

88

Yes!

Just tested v3.229 on my PI2 with the USB-WIFI Dongle. As expected: works except for WIFI :sleepy:

89

Which dongle please?

90

DLINK DWA131 using rtl8192eu driver

I knew that the driver was not available anymore with the new kernel…still wanted to test somehow…

At some point it would be good to have a list of compatible dongles with the new kernel once it moves to stable…

91

HI! How did you recognize those 16 files, you needed to replace? Thanks, I’m going crazy over this issue

92

Hi @kozmo, are you on the latest version? It was reported that that this was now fixed in v.3.229 and later.

If I use the most recent version, or the test zip linked above, I’m getting this screen. If I use rasbian, or ubuntu server, the board boots. This is my first experience with volumio so I may be expecting something different, or missing a step. Let me know if you think of anything odd I may be doing wrong. /proc/info indicated the version was 1.5.

edit: what I’ve tried a) 3 different sd card b) 2 different PSUs powered via the amp2 1.1. c) 2 seperate usb-c power supplies powering just the pi with no amp2 connected.

Now that I think of it, the ribbon cable to the official pi touch screen is still connected, though the screen is not powered. perhaps that’s where I goofed.

I feel quite silly, and feel free to shred on an old guy, but here’s what I did…

Usually I use Balena Etcher, but this time I read in the Volumio docs to use the raspberry pi imager. I think, yeah baby, let’s get randy, and try something different…

I open imager, choose custom, and select the zip file… (Balena normally chooses the img file inside, and carries on). The pi imager extracted the zip onto the card. Both are valid results, it’s the user’s expectation which was broken :slight_smile: .
