moOde 6.4.0 bug reports

[Tim Curtis]

Using a public DNS as primary will cause issues when clients try to resolve hosts on the LAN. it's not a configuration that I can support.

[Tim Curtis]

Hi Tim,

Thnx for the update, everything works fine except the maximum volume setting, it keeps putting it to 100% unfortunately. Double-checked it in alsamixer, still says 100.

Let me know if I can be of any help!

You can confirm the setting by the command below

Code:

pi@rp3:~ $ sqlite3 /var/local/www/db/moode-sqlite3.db "select * from cfg_system where id='34'"
34|alsavolume_max|80

Here's the help text for the feature

Code:

Establishes ALSA volume level that is used to set 0dB when MPD volume control is set to Software or Disabled, or when any of the Audio Renderers are active.

Whats your config?

- MPD volume = Software or Disabled?
- Renderer active?

pi@thequeensb:~ $ sqlite3 /var/local/www/db/moode-sqlite3.db "select * from cfg_system where id='34'"
34|alsavolume_max|87

It goes to 100 when using the Spotify Renderer / Librespot.

- MPD = Hardware (Hifiberry AMP).

Thnx!

Hi,

What is the output from the command below?

Code:

sqlite3 /var/local/www/db/moode-sqlite3.db "select value from cfg_system where param='alsavolume_max' or param='alsavolume' or param='amixname' or param='mpdmixer' or param='rsmafterspot' or param='inpactive'"

Using a public DNS as primary will cause issues when clients try to resolve hosts on the LAN. it's not a configuration that I can support.

Anyway it was just a quick alternative configuration, I normally use dhcp and, cosmetic problem apart, the configuration is ok with the dns address equal to the router address.

Then what about the initial problem about moodeutl line 83 warning?

I think that was cos of the broken update

As explained the problem still occurs after a fresh install, as you can see in the system information report I sent

[Tim Curtis]

Yes, the issue where ALSA volume is blank with that particular USB DAC.

Post the output from the cmd below so I can see what ALSA reports about the DAC's controls and mixer name.

Code:

amixer -c 1

And also (to be complete):

pi@thequeensb:~ $ amixer
Simple mixer control 'Master',0

Playback channels: Mono
Capture channels: Mono
Limits: 0 - 248
Mono: 248 [100%]

Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right
Limits: 0 - 248
Front Left: 173 [70%]
Front Right: 173 [70%]

I put the Channels on 70% manually (to reduce the distortion).

[Tim Curtis]

moOde looks like it's working ok wrt setting alsavolume_max field.

IRC from years pat the HifiBerry AMP has a strange hardware volume controller thats not based on a dB scale and this causes issues but I see in the amixer output there are 2 simple mixers, Master and Channels. moOde is picking the first one in the list.

Does the Channels mixer behave like a master volume that adjust both channels simultaneously?

Something like

amixer sset Channels 70%

I have been running for a couple of days with Roon 1.7 driving MoOde 6.4 on the USB-SIG.  Today I have had two instances of audio stuttering then stopping or just stopping.

One time it was during a local album playback from my NAS. The other time it was switching from local music to a Tidal Track.   

Roon is running on an Intel NUC i7 running Roon ROCK .

Here is the system log a bit later on it the day. 

If there are other logs you want please let me know.

I don't see anything suspicious in the log. This type of issue that only occurs infrequently along with the particular configuration u are using where there are multiple computers, players and renderers can be very difficult to troubleshoot. The logs rarely provide a clue to underlying cause of infrequent audio glitches.

Is it Roon/ROCK, the NUC, the network, the NAS, the file, the Music Service stream, the SIG, moOde, Squeezelite etc. ??
