CamillaDSP - MPD unable to play flat.yml - gingerbeer - 04-20-2021

Hi,

Struggling to get CamillaDSP working in Moode - I'm hoping someone may be able to advise on what is going wrong.

Long term the goal is to get to a 6 output active crossover, but struggling with some of the baby steps first.

Hardware:

RPi 3B, running a fresh install of Moode 7.1
MiniDSP UDIO-8 which is basically a USBStreamer module (that then outputs up to 8 channels of AES/EBU to downstream DACs).

Working:

Fresh install of Moode 7.1 and play 2 channel audio to the USBStreamer ALSA. Local file or SOMA radio works fine.
aplay via the command line, playing of a local wav file to 2 channels
aplay via the command line, playing of a local wav file to 4, 6, 8 channels using a local wav file as a test
alsa speaker test to all or individual channels.

Not Working:

Turn CamillaDSP on and try to play 2 channel to the default output. "MPD error: failed to open audio output"
Turn CamillaDSP on and try to play 2 channel to the non-default output. "MPD error: failed to open audio output". whether I use "hw:2,0" or "USBStreamer" as the name of the output.
Tried various buffer sizes (as suggested in another thread) - no change

When I go into the Camilla GUI, it always flashes a change in the status box on the right, starting with "State: backend offline", then after a second it changes to "State:offline". This is with everything set to on, configurations set and saved and the rpi restarted.

The mpd log file has the following: (/var/log/mpd/log)

Code:

RE: CamillaDSP - MPD unable to play flat.yml - gingerbeer - 04-21-2021

I've done some more troubleshooting using bitlab's guide pt1- no progress but hopefully this helps someone more knowledgable than me!

The camillagui service wasn't running, when I did

Code:
systemctl list-unit-files

I've now made that start, using the following and confirmed it is enabled when the rpi is rebooted.

Code:
sudo systemctl enable camillagui.service

Unfortunately, Moode config for CamillaDSP still is unchanged, with the backend offline (same as before, it changes after a second or so).

I've then tried to run CamillaDSP directly, using the v0.5 beta 6 download from github. I've also checked all the dependencies and they are all there (as expected).

I've then checked the capabilities under alsa for my device (USBStreamer).Max sample rate is 192000

Code:
alsacap

However, the camilladsp config file has a max sample rate of 384000, so i've commented those out of the config file.

RE: CamillaDSP - MPD unable to play flat.yml - the_bertrum - 04-21-2021

I won't pretend to understand Camilla well at all, but I would make two observations.

You should not need to mess about with starting bits on the command line. I'd try doing a fresh installation and see if that helps.
There is a bug with simple configurations like the flat.yml that is addressed in the next patch release.

Thanks for the good news on #2! Any details or link to a github issue for this one, as I've got a bit of spare time, so happy to see if i can manually progress before 7.2 is released.

In terms of not #1 needing the command line, I agree and it was only after the GUI didn't want to behave that I flashed a new image, tried the GUI again and then started tinkering via command line. GUI certainly looks great in terms of graphics and functionality (aside from the minor issue of no sound for the moment!) Smile

RE: CamillaDSP - MPD unable to play flat.yml - bitlab - 04-21-2021

@gingerbeer

First things first:
1. No need to run:

Code:
sudo systemctl enable camillagui.service

On the moOde camilladsp config page at the bottom there is a section called Pipeline Editor. It status is off flip the toggle switch to turn it on.

2. Also no need to comment out the 384 in the alsa_cdsp config.

3. CamillaDSP 5 beta 6 doesn't have fixes that would fixes the indicated problems. The changes with with preinstalled version are mostly related to using an alsa a capture devide (which isn't the case when use moOde out of the box).

4. The offline states in the camillagui is normal when no music is playing. moOde uses the alsa_cdsp device to automatic start camilladsp when music plays and stop camilladsp when the music plays. So if you don't have sound for any reason camilladsp will also be offline. The camillagui will start in that case its own copy only for edit purpose (not for playback).

5. Because the configuration how moode deals with audio devices selection is changed in moode 7.2, I would not recommand to just 'pull' in the git repo. Just a little more patience until 7.2 is released. Which indeed fixes some camilladsp configuration issues (see change log on 7.2 thread), but probably not your current issue.

Now lets see if we can find a reason of the issues, but lets first go back to the beginning:

turnof camilladsp.
select headphone or hdmi as playdevice from the moode interface, hooking up to a headphone/speaker whatever you have available.
verify if you have sound by using the default supplied test file.

if succesfull:

at moode camilladsp config page make sure the default device option in
select the flat configuration
press save
play again the test file
if the first try isn't successfull select annother default available config press save and after that switch back to flat and press save.
play again the test file

Let us know what the results are?

Hi @bitlab

Thank you for the very detailed response above.

I started with a freshly flashed image of Moode 7.1 and I was able to get CamillaDSP working for both flat.yml and quick_convolution.yml, for both the HDMI and the headphone jack output. I noticed that when I change the device under the MPD settings GUI, then I would need to change-and-change-back the file in the CamillaDSP GUI, so that it would get the right hardware output device. But great news being that there is sound coming through when Camilla is enabled, and it sounds different.

But then when I do exactly the same for the USBStreamer under the MPD settings GUI (and toggle/save the Camilla profiles) it goes back to "mpd playback error". It does appear to be pointing to the right spot in hw:2,0 and all the settings look otherwise the same as for when it goes to the headphone jack (hw:1,0).

So it would suggest the MiniDSP USBStreamer module is the culprit. In terms of Alsa everything else looks same as before (aplay -l; aplay -L etc.)

If you have any further test suggestions they would be greatly appreciated.

cat /var/log/mpd/log

Quote:I noticed that when I change the device under the MPD settings GUI, then I would need to change-and-change-back the file in the CamillaDSP GUI, so that it would get the right hardware output device.

Yes that is normal after changing device the camilladsp config needs to be updated. WIth version 7.2 the general handling of output devicesis improved and doesn't require that step anymore.

I think that maybe the cause is in message below:

Code:
Apr 20 00:57:11.737 ERRO Playback error: ALSA function 'snd_pcm_hw_params_set_channels' failed with error 'EINVAL: Invalid argument', module: camilladsp

Which suggest that the set number of channels isn't correct (prob 2 in this case).
Alsacap shows indeed that this device only supports 8 channels:

Code:
8 channels, sampling rate 44100..192000 Hz

And not like the HDMI which acccept 1 to 8 channels:

Code:
 1..8 channels, sampling rate 8000..192000 Hz

Lets see what happens if we force CamillaDSP to use 8 channel output:
Because the regular setup of moOde with camilladsp covers only 2 channel devices, we need to disable the Default Device patch:

At the moOde camilladsp config scree toggle the Default Device option to OFF.

Create a new config to expriment with:

At the moOde camilladsp config screen select the flat config from the Pipeline configuration section
Press the copy button just below it and set the name to flat8ch:

Open the pipeline editor (=camillagui):

At the moOde camilladsp config screen go to the pipeline editor section
Set the Status to On
Set the Expert Mode to On
Press the open button

Within the camillagui change the playback device (bottom option at the devices tab):

Set the channels to 8
Check if the hardware device is correct

This will not be enough you need to change the mixer to map the input against the outputs:

In camillagui select the mixer tab
In the default present mixer set the number of outputs to 8
Map the inputs against the outputs (even if you don't need those, for example left to 4 and right to 4 channels)
Use the green plus at the bottom to add more output mappings.
When done press the Applto to CDSP (at the left side).

Try some music and let us know.

That worked perfectly - thank you for the amount of time and detailed instructions you've given.

8 channels of "flat" sounds pretty good already; next step room correction.

Hi bitlab, looking for your help as well. Got the reference from gingerbeer, i am having similar issues and have tried to follow most of the recommendations but still cant seem to make moOde / Camilladsp to work.

my current step up - rasp pi, flashed the current moOde version (7.1) , creative xi fi 5.1 sound card. The intent is to create a 6 channel crossover + parametric eq etc

My past efforts to use camilladsp have been mixed...but they have been on another SBC (Rock64) with my creative sound card. I was able to make it work but with pulse and never using alsa.

This is what i did and still getting error message
- flashed the latest moOde 7.1
- set the MPD to Pi HDMI, the Mpd restarted
- went to audio settings, copied flat and renamed ....and when i click on check...it says its not a valid yml file
- went to the pipeline editor...made some changes
. . . . .went to capture device section, changed sample format to S16LE and get an error message that "500 Internal Server Error Server got itself in trouble"
can post logs record, playback details...

would greatly appreciate your help and guidance. Best
