yes, automount of usb disk will come in the next version.

@WeDloMiS: Excellent!!!

Now how do I get this into a generic version?
Should be doable, I may need your asound.conf, will get back on this.
Good find, thank you for helping with this.

WeDloMiS · February 21, 2020, 8:39am

I do maybe a mistake but I don’t create a asound.conf. The /etc/asound.conf is created for a custom hardware configuration. In my case, the system detects my hardware configuration without problem.
The modifications added is about the software with alsamixer.
By default, the state file for alsamixer is /var/lib/alsa/asound.state

My file after modifications with alsamixer :

volumio@volumio:/var/lib/alsa$ cat asound.state state.PCH { control.1 { iface MIXER name 'Headphone Playback Volume' value.0 87 value.1 87 comment { access 'read write' type INTEGER count 2 range '0 -

To integrate this, I think there are 2 ways :

1 - when this audio card is detected, add this state file
2 - use a script with “amixer” command to play my custom configuration done with “alsamixer”

The point 2 is the best solution. alsamixer is a “graphical” tool to configure easy the outputs but “amixer” can do the same thing with command lines.

In the state file, the outputs for the SPDIF are “IEC958”.

With the SPDIF, we don’t change the volume. The amplifier will be use for this. With “alsamixer” (or “amixer”), we can only mute or unmute these outputs but no change about the volume.

Here, the main interesting command is .with “scontrols” argument.

With this command, the outputs you will use are :

Simple mixer control 'IEC958',0 Simple mixer control 'IEC958 Default PCM',0 Simple mixer control 'IEC958',16

To mute or unmute these outputs, the “amixer” command is perfect. In my case, I want mute IE958c,0 and IEC958 Default PCM, and unmute the IEC958,16 output.

This operation will be execute only on the first boot. After, the configuration will not be modified.

Maybe, you can add a condition in the firststart.sh script. When you have this sound card, you execute theses lines :

amixer -c 0 set IEC958,0 mute amixer -c 0 set 'IEC958 Default PCM',0 mute amixer -c 0 set IEC958,16 unmute

WeDloMiS · February 21, 2020, 2:52pm

Just for example, a script I just wrote :

#!/bin/bash
card=`cat /proc/asound/cards`
if [[ $card =~ "HDA Intel PCH" ]]
then
   echo "Unmute / Mute SPDIF Output for the sound card"
   echo "-----------------------------"
   amixer -c 0 set IEC958,0 mute
   amixer -c 0 set 'IEC958 Default PCM',0 mute
   amixer -c 0 set IEC958,16 unmute
fi

To provide needs with others sound cards in future, you can use “case” instead of “if”.

hello!
beta 002 boot on my laptop, but stop with the following error (see picture)

WeDloMiS · February 21, 2020, 6:28pm

How have you created the usb key ? I think that your usb key is corrupted.

Try with another usb key.

balbuze · February 21, 2020, 8:04pm

you were right… Now it boot. but no kiosk started. Just the bash prompt. I can log in (volumio/volumio) but no more. I restart volumio (volumio vstart) but no UI.

WeDloMiS · February 21, 2020, 8:28pm

Post your /var/log/boot.log and /var/log/Xorg.0.log files. Just to see.

Hi,
i tested the latest version you had on this post, with the board i used there were some problems with the wifi adapter, it’s a intel 3168 and there is a known bug with the iwlwifi module in the 4.19.104 kernel, i fixed it by rebuilding the kernel including this patch https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11353871/
. Even if the wifi finally started working i had a lot more problems with the WebUI that after rebuilding the kernel for some reason wouldn’t go out of the loading loop, the backend was obviously not working. I haven’t fixed that so i will maybe post an update later, by the way this is my lspci log: https://pastebin.com/xqKT9dPA

Please tell me how to boot !.

I will try to add something to allow HDA sound card tweaking, which we can enhance when we get other requests for card- or chip-specific tweaks.
In your case, not only “HDA Intel PCH” needs to be considered, the used chip could also play a role as with the ALC892 there a re no mute issues.

gkkpch · February 24, 2020, 8:58am

Without more information, I can’t do anything.
Did your machine get an IP? Can you access the H2 with a browser from another PC/ tablet of smart phone?
Please try to ssh into the machine (if possible) and supply us with the info as requested in the opening post!

gkkpch · February 24, 2020, 9:01am

I will add the patch to my build, with your own kernel you may get a boot loop as it could cause issues with our own initramfs.
Hope to post a new version soon.

Hi,
no there is no boot loop the ramdisk works fine the web ui backend just crash, i didn’t have the time to take a look but otherwise with my kernel it works fine, i used your config to compile it so it’s almost the same except for the patch and the fact that i used the 105 and not the 104.

Absolutely ! I think you can add a script with “case” and not “if”. The custom tweaks can be added easily for differents cards. The problem is maybe the ALC256 …

WeDloMiS · February 24, 2020, 3:19pm

Maybe only a corrupted boot disk. Black screen ok but when ?

If the boot disk isn’t loaded else it’s not a system problem … Ideally, make a video when you start your odriod.

Solved issues

intel 3138 chip wireless problems
spdif port missing on “HDA Intel PCH” audio devices
muted spdif port on “HDA Intel PCH” with Realtek ALC283
my Volumio not showing any streaming services

Also added “inxi”, for the ones familiar with it, to help reporting
