9.0.8 UI slow when running Camilla - Snoil - 09-15-2024

Good morning,
I setup 9.0.8 on a Pi-4B 1.1 4GB at a friend's house and after configuring/running Camilladsp moode's UI became a bit slower and changing Volume through Camilla is very very sluggish (although e.g.'DSP load' never exeeds 8%).
I wonder why because with my own PI-3B (older moode + Camilla versions) that doesnt happen at all.

Could smb please have a look at my settings and if they can be improved? If yes, what log(s) or settings are relevant?

Thank you in advance.

The startup log will give us all your settings information so that's the place to start.

I have a Pi3a running Camilla volume control and have no issues with the UI or volume response, so there's hope Smile

RE: 9.0.8 UI slow when running Camilla - Tim Curtis - 09-15-2024

I have a couple Camilla configs, one on a 3B+ and another on a 5 and no issues with WebUI perf.

There are a couple odd things in the log.

1. The time stamps change part way into moode startup. Thats doesn't seem normal, at least none of my startup logs show this .

Code:
20240913 224256 worker: --
20240913 224256 worker: -- Audio configuration
20240913 224256 worker: --
20240913 224256 worker: Audio device:  2:Allo Boss DAC
20240914 135229 worker: ALSA card:     has not been reassigned
20240914 135229 worker: MPD config:    update not needed

2. A static network config with an IPv6 DNS address

Code:
20240913 224254 worker: Wireless: method  static
20240913 224254 worker: Wireless: address 192.168.2.53
20240913 224254 worker: Wireless: netmask 255.255.255.0
20240913 224254 worker: Wireless: gateway 192.168.2.1
20240913 224254 worker: Wireless: pri DNS fe80::bad5:26ff:fe5b:cf30%wlan0
20240913 224254 worker: Wireless: domain  none found

Typically the DNS address should be the same as the Gateway (Router LAN address) address because most Routers act as a proxy DNS for LAN hosts.

RE: 9.0.8 UI slow when running Camilla - Snoil - 09-15-2024

thank you. 
Time stamps are in order since a reboot and DNS Servers have been configured to be the same as the gateway from the start. I have a vague Idea where that ipv6 adress came from. that should be fixed after rebooting the router as well.
Any other ideas?
where in camilla's Filter chain does it's Volume control Take place?

RE: 9.0.8 UI slow when running Camilla - Tim Curtis - 09-15-2024

Thats would be a good question for the main Camilla Thread in the diyAudio Forum.

Post your camilla config and I'll test it on my end to see if it causes any performance issues.
Its located in /usr/share/camilladsp/configs/NAME_OF_CONFIG.yml

RE: 9.0.8 UI slow when running Camilla - Snoil - 09-16-2024

Good morning,

really? That's amazing-

thanks again.

RE: 9.0.8 UI slow when running Camilla - Tim Curtis - 09-16-2024

Testing this morning with camilla resampler enabled in your config and I'm not experiencing any perf issues. WebUI and volume changes are fast.

RE: 9.0.8 UI slow when running Camilla - Snoil - 09-16-2024

well ok, thank you very much. So it remains a mystery for now.
I haven't tried that before (sry) but volume type 'software' is equally slow and both so even when playback is paused.
I'm ready to leave it as it is.
still curious though - in 'System Info' these possibly related 2 items I dont understand

Code:
Hardware mixer    = Yes

Saved MPD vol    = -1
what hardware mixer? them 2 channels on the dac ?
Where/why is that value of -1 saved and what does it do?

Anyway, as long as this is not a more common issue we should leave it.
Thanks again for your time and input.

All the best,
Lucas

RE: 9.0.8 UI slow when running Camilla - Tim Curtis - 09-16-2024

Saved MPD vol is only used when switching inputs on Hifiberry DAC+ ADC or Audiophonics ES9038 DAC.

Your audio device must have an on-chip hardware volume controller.
What make and model is it?
