On a sidenote, do any of the Alix and/or usb-powered Dac users use optimized power-supplies replacing wall-wart/usb-power (regulated or battery power)? I've upgraded from cheap PSU and usb powered WaveIO to self powered Alix and Wave and the difference in S.Q. is very noticeable, highly recommended...

Dynobot Great tip! Can you either repost directions to decrease the other priorities to or point me to a post? I have put in a bunch of your tweaks. all good, thanks Want to make sure I have not missed these the Nice -1 on MPD removed a nagging concern I had with the sound of an ALIX board running ...

empcd was the missing link :idea: thank you. I will tinkle a bit with the configs to see if something can be done. I've not listed the ir receiver but it's already connected, i've to try to dump some ir codes to see if it's working correctly, then, if the only other config to be done it's in the emp...

Hi Idolse and all, i've tried hard to make lirc working with mpd but i've not found all the needed infos or either i'm to dumb to understand how to send the commands to mpd...(maybe it's too simple and i overlooked it :roll: ) I've created (or better i think so) the lircd.conf file for my samsung re...

Hi all, i've got a question for Idolse: did you think that is possible to feed some basic commands (such track skip, stop, play and eventually read some informations) to mpd via a rs-232 serial port? For my dac i'm building an mcu to control some function and to have ir remote control and since the ...

try

mpd --version

from the command line.

Don't ask me why but today i've tried reinstalling all and now it's working again :roll: Only difference from last effort was that after every mod at config (first auto wizard, changing mpd version, unmuting waveio in alsa and doing usbnrpack mod) i've rebooted and waited a little before continuing ...

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by this statement: if i try to run the wizard, it cannot recognise the server folder Specific descriptions of exactly what you're seeing help immensely. Can you ping your fileserver from the command line? I wasn't clear, when i run the wizard, the first step asks ...

@bonalux - based on those errors something happened between mpdPup and your fileserver - maybe your fileserver IP changed, or you changed your password? Try re-running the wizard and re-configuring the network share. Hi Idolse, my mpd server on Alix board stopped working suddenly, if i try to run t...

Thanks for your reply, nas and mpd IP are static, verified them and are ok. Also folders in my nas are visible and ok from other s PC.

@Idolse: sorry to bother you again, but last evening suddenly mpd stopped working and i was unable to recover the problem, even rebooting didn't solved it. I've tried also to reinstall all on the CF card from scratch and reconfigure it with the wizard, but it seems that for some reason, even if it's...

Always very prompt reply, thank you. I was asking because with the previous pc i've never faced this problem, typing alsamixer was enough to launch the mixer and then unmute all. Regarding the fix, it's really not a problem because it's a one time thing to do and then it works fine and it's only rel...

Hi Idolse and all, i need some help again I've installed mpdpup on the Alix board, all went well and configured the wizard with no problem, but when trying to unmute my waveio, the unmute command seems to not working and if i try to open alsamixer i'll get the message "cannot open mixer: No suc...

Almost all WaveIo users have the same problem as you (included me), but is easily solved with the procedure previously posted by Idolse Type the followingat the command line: nano /etc/init.d/unmute Then paste the following into the editor: #!/bin/sh unmute_audio(){ CARDS=`aplay -l | grep card | cut...

Once again you were right It says "mpd (MPD: Music Player Daemon) 0.17.2" so all it's ok.

Thank you very much, have a nice day.

Sorry Idolse, i was not triyng to speed you up, i was only thinking something went wrong in the forum/server and i was unable to read new messages. I'm not in a hurry and actually, with the mute problem solved i'm very happy! (with version 0.9.3a it's still present but it's solved with the previous ...

It's been a week with no updates, the forum isn't working? Just a test...

Glad to hear that worked! Now if I could only find a way to do it programmatically. nrpacks is part of the wizard already - it gets set when you choose to use the 'recommended' settings instead of Linux defaults. If you go into the tweaks section or choose the advanced wizard you can specify what n...

AAAAAAHHH!!! Thanks for your support Idolse, the last command did the trick, tried three times and always worked, the WaveIo is now consistently unmuted at startup!! Tried also the "usbnrpacks" hack and there is a great improvement in sound opening and clarity, before the system didn't exc...

Tried several times using your script but no luck, any time after reboot have to unmute the waveio....frustrating. There is any way to check if the script is working as expected or not? Another strange thing that happens, is that after sturtup, there is a very strong whistle coming from the speakers...
