Official moOde 6.7.1 support thread

[Kikaha]

Hi,

Post all bug reports for moOde 6.7.1 or moOde 6.7.0 -> 6.7.1 in-place update in this thread. Please paste log output, scripts, etc in code boxes for readability.

-Tim

Hi,

just made an update from 4.2 (running for > 2 yrs without any problems) to current 6.7.1. Configs:

1) Raspi 3B with HifiBerry DAC+ --> installed on an external SSD (128 GB Intenso USB 3) --> no probs at all, runs fine, great SQ
2) Raspi 3B with 7" official display connected via HDMI to Marantz AVR --> same install --> sound only via headphone jack, no sound via HDMI

This is what moodeutl -l says:

As far as I can see, nothing suspicious. Audio output should work via HDMI as it worked with 4.2 for years. Nevertheless: Output is only via headphone jack.

Tim: In a previous post I found the following statement from you:

If you are using HDMI audio out then unplug it because IIRC the Pi does not support simultaneous HDMI and 3.5mm RCA output.

In my case, HDMI does not work regardless RCA plugged and vice versa: RCA out always works. In the MPD config page ""Audio Output" I can only select "Pi Headphone Jack" - which I did due to lacking further options, e.g. "HDMI". Is this the problem?

For further info, this is my /boot/config.txt:

Code:

pi@moode-WZ:/boot $ cat config.txt
disable_splash=1
disable_overscan=1
hdmi_drive=2
hdmi_blanking=1
hdmi_force_edid_audio=1
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
hdmi_group=1
hdmi_mode=16
dtparam=i2c_arm=on
dtparam=i2s=on
dtparam=audio=on
lcd_rotate=2
dtoverlay=disable-wifi
#dtoverlay=disable-bt
hdmi_ignore_cec_init=1
hdmi_ignore_cec=1

Any further ideas?

Thanks a lot in advance and kind greetz from Germany

Very odd.

This log entry indicates there is no HDMI port, only Headphone
20201216 160740 worker: Device raw: (0:Headphones|1:empty|2:empty|3:empty

This log entry indicates the HDMI port is on
20201216 160743 worker: HDMI port on

If Linux is able to recognize and configure HDMI port(s) it will show up in the device list printed by the command below.

Code:

aplay -l

Maybe something that was added to config.txt is causing an issue?

Looks like that there is no HDMI port at all. Just doing apt update and upgrade and will reboot afterwards - I will report then.

Do not think that the additional lines in config.txt cause issues - at least the cec inactivation worked as intended. Perhaps some sort of kernel regression?

[Tim Curtis]

Doubtful cos if there were a kernel issue it would affect everyone that uses 6.7.1 and HDMI.

Best to start with stock image from moodeaudio.org and confirm HDMI port shows up.

Jorg,
try to disable HDMI and then enable it again in the system config page, clicking on SET both time...

Hm. Looks like I bricked my raspi. Apt update and apt ugrade finished, but no boot... I will set up the entire system again.

2) Raspi 3B with 7" official display connected via HDMI to Marantz AVR --> same install --> sound only via headphone jack, no sound via HDMI

Possibly an unexpected conflict somewhere because of the local display?

I just looked at my only Official Display-equipped moOde player. It's running the testing version of moOde r7.0.0 but it has the same behavior as reported by the OP. Here's snippets of moodeutl -l and aplay -l outputs

Confirming, the Pi HDMI does not appear in the Output Device pulldown list in MPD Config.

Turning off the HDMI port, rebooting, turning the HDMI port back on, and rebooting did not change the situation.

OTOH, I'm running moOde r6.7.1 on another Pi-3B+ with an actual HDMI device attached (a 3.5in LCD display). Same snippets:

and of course the PI HDMI output device shows up in MPD Config.

I see only one difference in the /boot/config.txt files.

- hdmi_group=0 in the player not offering the Pi HDMI device
- hdmi_group=1 in the player which does

However, on yet another RPi3A+ player running the testing version of moode-r7.0.0 with no local display, the Pi HDMI output device is offered in MPD Config. In its /boot/config.txt file, hdmi_group=0 so this seems a red herring, which by all rights it should be.

I guess I have it. Seems to be an issue with the power. Since the Official 7" Display is mounted to the Raspi, I have two USB plugs for power. It is recommended to use the display`s power plug and I obviously used the other one directly on the Raspi. With the said strange effects. When using the recommended power plug the system will not boot at all: The wellknown "colorful" screen appears. Seenms that the new SSD draws too much current in combination with the touch display.

Will try again with powered USB hub or stronger power adapter. Both I currently do not have at hand, but will come back later.

Kent: Perhaps it is worthwhile to check which power plugs you use on your raspis w/o Official 7" Display...

Thanks for your thoughts and ideas - eventually these pushed me in the right direction 

[TheOldPresbyope]

@Kikaha 

Ah, additional components. In addition to the SSD perhaps the HDMI connection is drawing current too but I have no knowledge of the electronic circuitry involved in an HDMI connection.

Certainly adequate power is needed but in my case I have a 3A supply feeding both the RPi and the Official Display through their individual power inputs using a USB power-splitter cable. I see no problems that I can associate with poor power. For example, the display shows the traditional 4 strawberry icons, one for each CPI, and no lightning bolt icon warning of an undervoltage condition. There are no power-associated warnings in the dmesg output.

I don't think we've ruled out the possibility that there is an unresolved configuration issue here.

...und Schöne Feiertage!

Kent

I got same results with my Pi-Touch rig on 671 and upcoming 700. It looks like the attached Pi Touch results in the HDMI port being disabled. It might be different on a Pi-4 that has 2 HDMI ports ?
