RE: 9.0.8 UI slow when running Camilla - Snoil - 09-17-2024
That of course is a good question (* especially for troubleshooting).
UI responsiveness is very livable in both cases but definitely a bit more snappy without camilla. Enjoyable even. So UI is a non issue.
Volume control is actually equally as sluggish without camilla running.
Didnt think of trying that out because without equalization I would forgo any volume control and instead walk to the amp/speakers for "purity" reasons. I havent actually ever critically compared moode's SW Vol. cont. to Vol. off, thats just what I preferred for the brief time when dsp wasnt yet a thing for me. so this is not a critisim of the SW Volume.
I really only care about SQ but with my less 'tech-savvy' friend's setup usability is important to me too. How the volume control behaves bothers me. Dunno why really. I guess because 'it feels kind of broken'.
it goes like so:
64 - 6.76 sec
65 - 2.53 sec
66 - 5.40 sec
67 - 3.80 sec
68 - 7.21 sec and so on...
dont worry I didnt measure it...nah, I actually did

Thats very abnormal. What client are you using?
RE: 9.0.8 UI slow when running Camilla - Snoil - 09-17-2024
sorry I dont know what you mean by client in this context . Am I using a client?
1 windows laptop, 2 google pixel phones and a samsung tablet - is that it?
RE: 9.0.8 UI slow when running Camilla - Tim Curtis - 09-17-2024
Yes, the device you are using to display the WebUI.
Generally speaking WebUI performance depends on end-to-end throughput between client and server (Pi), and diagnosing a performance issue involves isolating the bottleneck for example slow or poor quality network connection, slow boot media, slow client, slow software component, etc
Given good end-to-end throuput, typical volume control responsiveness should be < .5sec with or without CamillaDSP volume.

oh.
I just tried a desktop pc that's wired to router - same result.

I sure get that and gratefully follow any advise I'm given.
Can I change volume through a terminal "omitting" the UI or sth.? would that make sense in order to see if it's UI related?
RE: 9.0.8 UI slow when running Camilla - Tim Curtis - 09-17-2024
Try the vol.sh command
Code:
pi@trx:~ $ /var/www/util/vol.sh --help
Usage: vol.sh [OPTION] [VOLUME]
Change the volume and update the knob.
With no OPTION or VOLUME, print the current volume.
With just VOLUME, set current volume to VOLUME.
-up VOLUME value between 1 and 100
-dn VOLUME value between 1 and 100
-mute mute or unmute the volume
-restore set volume to current knob level
--version print the program version
--help print this help textRE: 9.0.8 UI slow when running Camilla - Snoil - 09-18-2024
Good morning,
changing the volume via vol.sh takes several seconds as well.
are there any other settings (mdp, alsa, audio output, volume options) that could cause this?
It couldn't be because the dac board is externally powered, could it?
RE: 9.0.8 UI slow when running Camilla - Snoil - 09-19-2024
Hello,
when I use the Volume slider inside Camilla's GUI Volume changes instantly. The Volume Knob (moode gui) won't be Updated accordingly at all in this Case.
What does the Volume Knob (with Volume Type Camilla) inside the moode GUI do differenty? How are they "connected"?
RE: 9.0.8 UI slow when running Camilla - Tim Curtis - 09-19-2024
The volume is proxied to CamillaDSP via the mpd2cdspvolume daemon.
Code:
pi@moode:~ $ systemctl status mpd2cdspvolume
