Indeed there is a bug in the initial value of the audioin SQL parameter. This coupled with the startup logic would cause the issue.
93|audioin|None --should be--
93|audioin|Local
To fix do the following
Code:
sqlite3 /var/local/www/db/moode-sqlite3.db "update cfg_system set value='Local' where param='audioin'"
Or alternatively:
- Menu, Configure, SOURCE-SEL
- SET Audio source to "Local (MPD)"
Then confirm the SQL param has been updated
Code:
sqlite3 /var/local/www/db/moode-sqlite3.db "select * from cfg_system where param='audioin'"
should print
93|audioin|Local
Then REBOOT and verify that ALSA volume has been set appropriately
Code:
/var/www/command/util.sh get-alsavol Master

That has solved it. Many thanks, Tim.
I can no longer use the parametric eq
"Failed to open "ALSA parametric eq" (alsa); Failed to open ALSA device "eqfa4p": No such file or directory"
Hello,
First of all thanks Tim for the amazing work on MoodeAudio! Very satisfied user here!
I have a very small issue. One of my Moode setups is fairly crude - 1st-gen Raspberry Pi (the one with only 256mb of RAM), no DAC, just the Pi's regular audio output... Not in audiophile territory for sure, but it's in a peripheral room and it works for me - and it puts my first "historical" Pi to good use. I use zram to make the tiny RAM more usable, and a low-priority swapfile as a last-resort measure to avoid fatal OOMs...
Now with Moode 4.4, SQ was surprisingly good for such a shamelessly basic setup - MoodeAudio was doing an *amazing* job of making the best of that crappy output.
I'm testing MoodeAudio 5 RC0 and it's not really working anymore - SQ went down the drain, lots of creaking/cracking/clipping - not really listenable. A shame since the UI improvements are fantastic!
I switched back to 4.4 and I'm perfectly happy with it of course... I guess I might have to stick with it for this one setup - the hardware is probably a notch below what Moode 5 would need. Unless someone has ideas to optimize the Pi's analog output? Some arcane ALSA settings maybe?
I might also try a cheap USB DAC and see how it goes...
Anyway just wanted to report a setup where 4.4 works great and 5 doesn't - I don't expect it to be supported as it is really "archaic"

Did you set ALSA auto-format=No in the MPD Config panel? If so, try reenabling it. See Tim's response to Blixa in

Sorry, I don't have a ready explanation for the small issue, but I'm willing to bet that any cheap USB DAC would sound better than the first-gen RPi's onboard audio, even in your r4.4 setup.

Could be the new mpd version, try the old one (0.20).

Thanks! I wasn't expecting a miracle... :
I'm probably up against hardware limits here in terms of both processor and RAM usage... I remember it took me some time with 4.4 to figure out stable overclock and zram settings.
That Moode 4.4 would work at all on such a low-end "legacy" setup -- let alone work so flawlessly and with such SQ! -- is a testimony to the amazing work that went into optimizing MoodeAudio!! Kudos and many thanks for providing us with such a robust and light-weight software!
Will get a basic DAC and keep fiddling around with the setup and Moode 5 -- will report the results back, might be of interest to people who still have a 1st-gen Pi lying around!

I'm amazed you got it running at all. I long ago gave away my 1st-gen RPis to a local high school club.
I assume you have minimized the amount of RAM set aside for the GPU.
And don't forget to try @
TookaFace's suggestion. You can choose which MPD version to use in the Audio config panel.

Kent
