First, I met m3m3nto in person during Rome’s maker faire! What a pleasure it was !
I took the freedom to upload his image on Volumio’s repo. You can download it here as well:
repo.volumio.org/m3m3nto/volumio … on.img.tgz
Hi guys,
I tried the different links provided in this thread to download an image of Volumio 1.4 with Wolfson support.
None of the links worked. Could you provide me with a link where I can download the image?
Thank you.
this link should work: repo.volumio.org/m3m3nto/volumio … on.img.tgz
They both work for me. Mind that this archive is tar.gz and not zip. So if you’re not on linux you’ll need to install 7zip or something equivalent
I wondered what you were talking about there for a moment. Then looking back through the forum I realised I had said I had used Squeezeplug with the Wolfson card back in April. That’s Squeezeplug, not Squeezebox. Squeezeplug is a distribution that supports the Wolfson card. It’s website is here squeezeplug.eu/. You can download it from there if you want to.
However, there are now links in this forum topic to images of Volumio with the Wolfson drivers (see page 11 of this topic), sp you might prefer to use that.
I don’t use Squeezeplug anymore anyway, I’m using Volumio myself.
Hi all. Just received my Wolfson board and would like to get it working with my pi. Unfortunately my pc is down. Is there a way to get it up and running just using the pi. I have Volumio 1.4 installed (done before my pc died). Currently I have a screen and keyboard on the pi with Internet access, but nothing to write image files to sd cards. Thank. Rob
Latest 1.5 doesn’t work with my wolfson card. What do I have to do? What settings?
If you mean the default version of Volumio, it won’t work with your Wolfson card, because it doesn’t have the Wolfson drivers built-in. You’ll have to hope somebody comes up with a custom version that supports the Wolfson card.
Hi guys,
I’m testing this new release (1.5), and I hope to build the image with Wolfson support asap.
Stay tuned!
Bye bye
hello all,
Michelangelo is working to integrate my modded image into the main Volumio image.
In the meantime this is a Volumio 1.5 image with Wolfson audio card support enabled:
today bearman let me figured out that I’ve missed to add the correct kernel pointer in the config.txt file:
http://volumio.org/forum/wolfson-drivers-near-ber-pulled-the-official-kernel-t2013.html
so mount the sd card and edit the file confix.txt in the boot partition:
kernel=kernel_new.img
gpu_mem=16
hdmi_drive=2
To switch between wolfson output use the script located into /home/pi/wolfson_drivers
Access to rpi via ssh then
cd /home/pi/wolfson_driversheadset output:
sudo ./Playback_to_Headset.shThanks guys for the info.
I just had my volumio up and running with the wofson audio card …
Thanks again
I’ve listening to Volumio with a Wolfson audio card… And it sounds really good !.. thanks guys.
and I’ve been using a cell phone usb charger as power supply.
Still some improvement coming as I will put a linear power supply.
Question how can I make the wolfson setup scrips to execute after the rpi start? should I put them on rc.local?
Hi brunogiovs,
after the first execution of the script the settings should be saved in the local alsarc file.
In my configuration - Rpi B, Wolfson card, Volumio 1.5 - the settings remain the same after every reboot.
Give it a try!
Bye, bye
Thanks for the response … But no luck for me.
Hi,
Big thanks to michelangelo and m3m3nto. Seriously: thanks.
After much hammering, I have some lovely sound from the lineout. I needed to force it with “sudo ./Playback_to_Lineout.sh”, but it’s working.
However, I cant get the SPDIF out even if I try things like “sudo ./SPDIF_playback.sh”. (I have a pi B)
Any ideas?
Cheers
Ob
So you have to execute:
sudo ./Playback_to_Lineout.shevery time you power up your rpi+wolfson?
ehm yes, but you are setting it maybe, not ‘forcing’; you have to do the same thing with the official Wolfson (raspbian) image.
this is really strange and I’ve no way to test the SPDIF output.
Can you post the output of the sudo ./SPDIF_playback.sh command?
Thanks for your reply.
Ok - Have I missed a trick? Do I need to install the official Wolfson image as well as your Volumio/Wolfson image? I have only loaded your image. (Did I tell you I was an idiot?)
If you mean what is printed out when I type in sudo ./SPDIF_playback.sh, then I get 200 lines of stuff. Is that what you want?
thanks in advance…
Ob
Yes.
