My search-fu isn't turning up anything so here'goes:
I finally made the jump from 3.8.4 (the last one I paid for) to 4.3. Yes I'm slow.
One of the things I really wanted was the parametric EQ. The old version had EQ that worked, but the options were limited and being able to tame a couple of the speaker/room oddities would be awesome. Well, not as awesome as being able to import FIR filter files, but a step in the right direction (and I digress)
RPI 3B, Allo Boss DAC 1.0 'slave Disabled'
I've tried two different installs on two different uSD cards.
Only changes from 'stock boot' is setting the Allo Boss DAC and turning off BT
The problem is that even if I turn on the parametric eq, Configure, 'Apply' and 'set'
and restart MPD and or reboot the box I get no change as a result of the PEQ
settings changes. I check results with pink noise and a calibrated mic/spectrum
analyzer app. Even -12db 'holes' in the 1000hz center Q=1 that should be clearly
audible produce no audible or visible (analyzer) change.
Tried roughly a dozen different PEQ settings along the way here. The settings
survive reboot. As far as I can tell the 'regular' EQ isn't working either.
The non-eq'd sound comes out just fine, except the lack of EQ
From System Information: no errors
ALSA card number (0)
...
Audio dev (Allo Boss DAC)
ALSA mixer name (digital)
MPD volume control (software)
...
MPD output 3 ALSA parametric eq (on)
The only clue I can find is that the PEQ config screen 'i' information dot says:
"APPLY: updates the curve table only
PLAY: updates the curve config. EQ must be turned on in Audio config to enable Play"
which implies there should be a 'Play' button just below the 'Settings [APPLY]' button, and I don't see one.
Regardless the MPD section of the boot log shows it's on...
I'm EQonfused ...in my first post on the new forum.
