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.

Notes on off-grid with IQ Audio Codec Zero
by Grant Smith 11 Aug '21

11 Aug '21

Hello all I've been running a test stream off grid in my backyard (http://locus.creacast.com:9001/stream_demo.mp3) for a few days. This is along the lines of the temporary streams discussed here already. It adds a small solar power unit. In case useful, I made some notes: https://paper.dropbox.com/doc/Streambox-Off-grid-with-IQ-Audio-Code-Zero-an… Thanks bw grant

Occasional stream dropouts?
by Zach Poff 24 Jul '21

24 Jul '21

Hi all. I'm still trying to investigate occasional stream dropouts. My streambox... https://locus.creacast.com:9443/wave_farm_pond_station_new_york.mp3 ... is connected via ethernet to a reliable network. Some days everything is fine, but other days I'll get many dropouts (stream URL is 404) usually for less than 5 minutes each time. Nothing has changed in my hardware or software, and it ran quite reliably for several years until around the time of REVEIL this year. I can live with this but I wonder why it started happening so suddenly. Has it been happening to anybody else? (I test using uptimerobot [1], which is configured to do parse http://locus.creacast.com:9001/status.xsl every 5 minutes to find my stream name. If it doesn't find it then I get an email.) Thanks -Zach Poff Links: ------ [1] https://uptimerobot.com/

some streams sunds mono ...

Hi all, I have the impression some streams sounds mono maybe It’s in purpose, or defined by the mic’s used, maybe something is wrong ? Only to inform: Cologne – aporee ( just a crazy sounds was passing by … great ! ) Amsterdam – Patapoe Skryje - Radio skryje jasper ridge – birdcast thiers - vallée denby - dale ( this this has also some sub-low that moves the image to the right side ) with highpass at 20hz > Kyoto – cyberforesthydro sounds only left w.
