Pi with the HifiBerry HD DAC.  Everything worked perfectly under M7 using Tim’s overlay fix.  But using same overlay and config in v8 gives me an ALSA error:

Failed to open "ALSA Default" (alsa); Failed to open ALSA device "_audioout": No such file or directory

Which log should I be looking into for clues?

I don’t know if this is relevant or not, but I swear v7 did not call the HD DAC an I2S dac, but v8 seems to automatically select that when I select the proper overlay. 

Thanks,
Mike

Version 8.0.0 or 8.0.1 ?

Anyone tried Bluetooth functionality. Running 8.01 on RPI3B+ and getting following screen after scan. Same behaviour from terminal. Not the same behaviour that I had with 7.6.1 which worked as expected.

Works here with the version 8.0.1, but need one change in config.txt

Disable the onboard EEPROM by adding

force_eeprom_read=0

to your boot/config.txt file.

Hi all,

I am having problems generating my library. It takes quite some minutes for the busy indicator to stop but there is still no music in the library. The thumbnail generation process seems to be working because I can see what it is doing using the View Status button. That also means it is not the NAS, which I also confirmed by going to the mount point on the pi.

If I use the update library command, I can see empty album folders appearing in the folder view but with no files in them.

Looking in the MPD log, I see file not found messages but the file is there in the mount folder. I can post logs this evening.

This may have been occurring before I updated to moode 8.0.1. It was my reason for updating but I didn't check it so extensively before the update.


The test sound file works.

Could you please advise how to troubleshoot this and which logs I should post?

Best wishes
Sean

I can confirm.

@Tim Curtis

The information returned by bluetoothctl scan on seem to have changed between buster and bullseye. Sigh.

I find that the device name appears in the list correctly if the device in question has a previous pairing that was initiated from the other device.  Also, repeating the scan over and over will sometimes show device name on my system (where the other devices happens to be other moOde bluetooth radios).

I get this which seems pretty normal. IIRC sometimes the scan has to be run multiple times before names start appearing in the list.

   

I also ran bluetoothctl in SSH feeding it the commands from moOde bt.sh script and got similar results.

I did notice in the bt.sh script the SCAN() function which uses expect is looking for the wrong responses from the "scan on" and "scan off" commands. It won't affect the scan results but I'll fix it for upcoming 8.0.2 bug fix release.

Pi with the HifiBerry HD DAC.  Everything worked perfectly under M7 using Tim’s overlay fix.  But using same overlay and config in v8 gives me an ALSA error:

Failed to open "ALSA Default" (alsa); Failed to open ALSA device "_audioout": No such file or directory

Which log should I be looking into for clues?

I don’t know if this is relevant or not, but I swear v7 did not call the HD DAC an I2S dac, but v8 seems to automatically select that when I select the proper overlay. 

Thanks,
Mike

Version 8.0.0 or 8.0.1 ?

Works here with the version 8.0.1, but need one change in config.txt

Disable the onboard EEPROM by adding

force_eeprom_read=0

to your boot/config.txt file.

See the last comments:
https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/4898

Confirmed, Thanks Janne!  Nice work.

FYI, put this line at the end of the config file in the [all] segment. Didn’t work originally when i put in another section.

The commit to kernel 5.15.25 makes no mention of needing this command in confix.txt. 
https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/pull/4904

Is there a post in the Hifiberry Forum that can be referenced?

Also @Marrahm, you posted about the "DAC HD" (not the 2) giving an ALSA error. Is this a separate issue or were you actually referring to the "DAC 2 HD"?
