Re: [locustream mailing list] config for iqAudio Pi-CodecZero
by aid 06 Jan '22

06 Jan '22

Grant suggested I try some changes, and this is what I've done: In /boot/streambox.txt - changed to soundcard=0 - Added login, wifi details In /boot/config.txt - added dtoverlay=iqaudio-codec In /etc/dhcpcd.conf - added static domain_name_servers=8.8.4.4 8.8.8.8 Also verified that the streambox server comes up on a different rpi, so the config is correct, it's just not working with the rpi zero w? is there a system change that breaks wifi for my rpi zero w maybe?

There are a number of alsamixer settings to play with, so maybe the wifi noise can be eliminated there. Also I'm testing this beside a mess of synths and electricty so maybe i need to move the streambox somewhere less noisy. to bring up the box was as follows: changed in /boot/config.txt: #dtparam=audio=on dtoverlay=iqaudio-codec then, copy the IQaudIO_Codec_StereoMIC_record_and_HP_playback.state file to the streambox, ssh and sudo alsactl --file /home/locusonus/IQaudIO_Codec_StereoMIC_record_and_HP_playback.state restoresudo alsactl store will report if I can resolve the wifi noise issue. | | | | | | | | | | | iqaudio/Pi-Codec Tools for the IQaudIO Pi-Codec / CodecZero sound cards - iqaudio/Pi-Codec | | | On Wednesday, 6 May 2020, 14:12:38 BST, aid <oootini(a)yahoo.com> wrote: Hi folks, trying to set up an iqaudio Pi-CodecZero as described by Udo some days ago.

iq codeq zero with pi zero wh
by Grant Smith 30 May '21

30 May '21

hi all a quick note to confirm other people's experiences, based on udo's recipe, in case useful: for me the Pi Zero WH - the version with pre soldered header and wifi - and the IQAudio codec zero https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/iqaudio-codec-zero work perfectly out of the box with the latest disk image from Stef @LS Dev This is the one called: unstable version 4.0-dev http://locusonus.org/streambox/ For me it is in fact stable with dns and wifi issues resolved and the sound is remarkable from this card with the PUI capsules: https://eu.mouser.com/datasheet/2/334/AOM-5024L-HD-R-1219369.pdf Sounds clean and good running with a mains adaptor or a battery best wishes grant

Streambox/Pi turning off overnight?
by Mike Bullock 22 May '21

22 May '21

Hi everyone, This past week, i’ve woken up to discover my streambox is not responding. To make it respond i’ve been unplugging and re-plugging the ethernet cable from my router; the box starts responding again instantly, almost like it was running the whole time but not talking to my router. So I suspect it’s a simple fix - any thoughts? Maybe just re-install the Pi? Thanks! Mike -- -- Mike Bullock tapping on a screen in my hand

stream drop outs
by Taylor Nuttall 15 May '21

15 May '21

Hi all, That was a great weekend. It was a real pleasure to hear so many streams. Congratulations to all those involved. My main issue was the streaming dropouts. I noticed this particularly on my own stream which had been running fine both before the event and when I checked again just after. But was dropping our during the period that it was streamed live for the event. It's also streaming perfectly normally now, but I have noticed these dropouts in the past. They seem to be cyclical where the stream plays for around a minute, then drops out for about 20 seconds and then plays another minute or so before dropping off for 20 seconds again. I've not been able to resolve if there is a local issue with the streambox, with the local network or broadband connection or whether it is at the server end of the chain. Any thoughts? Is there anything that can be done to mitigate this?

Focusrite 2i2 question - mono headphone output - why ?
by Jem Finer 14 May '21

14 May '21

Hello, Congratulations to all for making Reveil 2021 happen. I was thrilled to finally have a pretty good quality stream box I could leave in woodland. My one disappointment was that having hooked up a recorder to the headphone output of the 2i2 I found I had nothing but 13 hours of static. Great if you like that kind of thing but I was hoping for a bit of birdsong. I found out two things subsequently: 1. That I'd knocked a switch and turned monitoring off . . . hence no sound. 2. That the output is mono. I’ve been trying to figure out why because I’d like to record in stereo. I tested the 2i2 with my computer and the headphone jack outputs in stereo, so no faults there. Tested all cables etc, no faults there either. I’ve looked in the settings and configuration for the streambox and can see nothing to change that will flip the headphone output to stereo. The steam itself is stereo, no problems there. Has anyone experienced this, or know how to fix it ? Thanks, Jem

One night only

Lest it’s of interest . . . I’ve hidden my streambox in the woods on Hampstead Heath for the night. http://locus.creacast.com:9001/london_wildmic All the best, Jem

Class compliant device on RPi 4 Streambox not working (Sonosax)
by Raphael Raccuia 07 May '21

07 May '21

Hi, I'm installing a RPi 4 with latest Streambox distribution (3.1 stable from locusonus website). All installed successfully, I can access with streambox.local or SSH, but my soundcard is not recognized. It's a Sonosax M2D2 preamp, self-powered, class compliant, which works OOTB on all my Linux systems. I don't see it in "list audio devices": 0 [ALSA ]: bcm2835_alsa - bcm2835 ALSA bcm2835 ALSA Thank you for your help... rph
