Not sure whether this topic has been addressed before, a quick search didn’t return any relevant posts; new forum member and first post so apologies if the topic has already been addressed elsewhere.
Trying, but failing to get Moode Audio working with a Wolfson/Cirrus wm5102 audio card, I know it’s obsolete but I have one, and am pleased with the sound quality; there is even built in Linux kernel support these days.
I am currently attempting to re-purpose an existing Pi & Sound Card I’ve had knocking about for a few years by adding a touch screen. After trying a few alternatives decided that Moode Audio appeared the best for a stand-alone system. On the plus side it was easy to get it to access the NAS where my music collection is stored and I liked the user interface, which whilst maybe a bit quirky, looked pleasant, was fairly easy to use and appeared to render my library contents correctly, so +++.
It’s just that I’m just failing to get sound of the system; rather strange since as I understand the system, MPD is responsible for sound rendering.
As far as I could see the Cirrus card was not listed/supported as an I2S audio device within the Moode Audio GUI.
Is the Cirrus card supported under a different name?
Or is there some way to support the settings to /boot/config.txt (dtoverlay) & /etc/mpd.conf (Audio_Output declaration) that are required to make the card available and work with MPD respectively retained over restarts?
I had the Cirrus card working with the current and preceding versions of Raspbian using the music player daemon (MPD); and Cantata and other MPD based players, even managed to download and rebuild the latest version of MPD to work with Rasbian. Was therefore a bit disappointed that Moode Audio, which as far as I understand things layers on top of MPD, doesn't appear to allow my setup.
P.S. did notice in another thread that only cards where the manufacturer provides a card and an interface person contact can be supported, clearly that ain’t going to happen for my legacy/obselete cards.
