[SOLVED] Problem playing High Rez File

[TheOldPresbyope]

The very last track before sending back the unit to my reseller, could be related to the Asix driver.

Founded in  Infos.txt file  in DietPi folder from Allo !!

=======================================================
      USBridge Signature unit comes with OS are with updated drivers.
      dietpi-update asks user to revert APT kernel <cancel> or <ok> , cancel these step.
****************************************************
"Would you like to revert to the APT kernel now, ensuring stability and
                                                                                                                 
                                                             <Ok>                       <Cancel>
*****************************************************

      if opted for <ok> , then follow below steps.
      1) update ASIX driver :  works  4.19.50-v7+ kernel onwards

       ssh or terminal login using OS credentials

      cd /usr/src

      sudo wget http://3.230.113.73:9011/Allocom/USBridgeSig/install.sh

     sh install.sh
===========================================================


When I run    the following I get a different response from what expected

pi@moode:~ $ modinfo ax88179_178a | grep version
srcversion:     939AC35FBA15593ACF0DEC3
vermagic:       4.19.83-v8+ SMP preempt mod_unload modversions aarch64
pi@moode:~ $


to be continued ........

Looks to me like different driver versions are downloaded for the 32-bit kernel and the 64-bit kernel.

From one of my moOde 6.4.0 players running the 32-bit kernel

Code:

pi@moode:~ $ uname -r
4.19.83-v7+
pi@moode:~ $ modinfo ax88179_178a
filename:       /lib/modules/4.19.83-v7+/kernel/drivers/net/usb/ax88179_178a.ko
version:        v0.1.4
license:        GPL
description:    ASIX AX88179_178A based USB 2.0/3.0 Gigabit Ethernet Devices
author:         ASIX SW
srcversion:     0DA7C4E6A1D359AEEF7588C

while from one of my moOde 6.4.0 players running the 64-bit kernel

Code:

pi@moode4b:~ $ uname -r
4.19.83-v8+
pi@moode4b:~ $ modinfo ax88179_178a
filename:       /lib/modules/4.19.83-v8+/kernel/drivers/net/usb/ax88179_178a.ko
license:        GPL
description:    ASIX AX88179/178A based USB 3.0/2.0 Gigabit Ethernet Devices
srcversion:     939AC35FBA15593ACF0DEC3

Further, the Allo install.sh script will download their "updated" driver for kernel 4.19.83-v7+ but not for kernel 4.19.83-v8+.

I ran strings on their "updated" driver and found these descriptors:

Code:

version=v0.1.4
license=GPL
description=ASIX AX88179_178A based USB 2.0/3.0 Gigabit Ethernet Devices
author=ASIX SW
parm=bGETH:Green ethernet configuration
parmtype=bGETH:int
parm=bEEE:EEE advertisement configuration
parmtype=bEEE:int
srcversion=0DA7C4E6A1D359AEEF7588C

which agree with the modinfo output for moOde's 32-bit driver (above).

Does your problem (which I guess is still "scratchy" playback?) still occur when you run with the 32-bit kernel?
