No more sound after installing v. 4.1 in recalbox

[Substring]

Looking at dragu's screenshot, there are 3 kernel modules that are loaded along with the hifiberry.

What also happened with 4.0.x -> 4.1 is a kernel b*mp from 4.1 to 4.4. That's the only lead I have for now + quite some changes regarding audio volumes (because of that DARN x86 version)

Hi, i progress

I reinstall from 0 recalbox 4.1.
I modify config.txt by adding dtoverlay=hifiberry-dacplus and comment (#)dtparam=audio=on.
No sound with emulastation but sound is come back under kodi.
Any idea?

thanks a lot

[monsieurlefou]

I don't understand.

After trying change audio settings in the audio recalbox menu to auto, to hifiberry, to auto (hacking the audio setting...), the sound is appears wihout i can understand what was the matter.....

Strange, something wrong but i cannot identify the problem.

Excuse my poor english...

@monsieurlefou that sounds really strange
do you have the soundcard available in the sound settings in ES? For me it does not show up

[Dragu]

@monsieurlefou

You want to say that you modified recalbox.conf

# ------------ C - Audio ------------ #
## Set the audio device (auto, hdmi, jack)
audio.device=auto
## Set system volume (0..100)
audio.volume=0
## Enable or disable system sounds in ES (0,1)
audio.bgmusic=0

into

# ------------ C - Audio ------------ #
 
## Set the audio device (auto, hdmi, jack, hifiberry)
 
audio.device=hifiberry
## Set system volume (0..100)
 
audio.volume=0
## Enable or disable system sounds in ES (0,1)
 
audio.bgmusic=0

?

[monsieurlefou]

Yes i have hifiberry dacplus soundcard in the sound settings in ES.

After reboot sound starts only after manipulate joystick to navigate in menu (controler xin mo). If i don't touch controler no music (??)

I'm not sure (sorry) but I remember that i have already the card in the sound settings BEFORE modify the file config.txt (it surprises me) but sounds doesn't work.

On my another pi3 with same recalbox without sound card sound start on splash screen on boot (?)

X-files???

@dragu
i don't modify recalbox.conf.
I just hack settings audio via the recalbox audio menu settings.

[monsieurlefou]

@dragu

My audio setting in recalbox.conf file:

------------ C - Audio ------------

Set the audio device (auto, hdmi, jack)

audio.device=[0:0] snd_rpi_hifiber - snd_rpi_hifiberry_dacplus + HiFiBerry DAC+ HiFi pcm512x-hifi-0

Set system volume (0..100)

audio.volume=0

Enable or disable system sounds in ES (0,1)

audio.bgmusic=1

Hi

Just to know if you have any news on fixing the issue?
Bye

[Substring]

The soud device selection in ES does more than just editing the recalbox.conf. It also sets some parameters for ALSA.

[benj008]

@substring ok j espere que vous trouverez un moyen pour retablir le son sur cette version 4.1
Pourriez vous me tenir informé en tous cas ?
Merci pour votre ecoute et bon courage

[Substring]

@benj008 oui

[Substring]

To everyone : just a few words regarding what you'd believe to be strange but may not be:

• the splash video is played through omxplayer which doesn't care about soundcards. Just jack and hdmi
• changing a sound device in ES woumd not change where the music is output until a reboot, wheras emulators would work straight away after. That is a lumitation of alsa not being able of dynamically changing the output device of an already running process
• we know about that bug in ES where music would start after player input

@monsieurlefou as your dac works, can you make a support archive ? http://recalbox/help

[Dragu]

@Substring
I dont understand what he made, as he didnt modified recalbox.conf, but has other values inside as we have ?
@monsieurlefou said in No more sound after installing v. 4.1 in recalbox:

@dragu
i don't modify recalbox.conf.
I just hack settings audio via the recalbox audio menu settings.

[Dragu]

@Substring
I was just testing with 4.1 stable now and the communicated value of audio.device=
Nothing changed, always no sound. The same in Kodi, no found device.
So I have some doubt...

Perhaps possibility to provide momentary download of march 4.1us, so that the few concerned
could use their machine before they have convulsions I have just PI3 version. benj008 has PI2.

[Substring]

@dragu we don't have such old builds. What i should do is check all sound commits between march and april and see what i can do. No time for that, i'm on holidays, won't be very active for a week

[Dragu]

@Substring
I wish you first nice (and merited) holidays. I hope not in silicon valley
So if benj008 spend the money for a PI3 (that anywhere he will not regret) and if he contacts me, I can help him.

[benj008]

@dragu hi in this case do you think a pi3 will be a good idea?
To tell the truth i thought about it at the very begining;-)
Anyway i m ok with this if you think it can help bringing the sound back. I precise i m far for professional in such areas sorry. But happily accept you help.

[Dragu]

@benj008
If you send me a mail on "amarx"@"tango.lu", I will send you back a link short time after where you can download the 4.1 march version, just not to be without gaming.

[benj008]

@dragu ok i ll do that on monday thanks.
And what about the pi3?
