No more sound after installing v. 4.1 in recalbox

[Dragu]

@Substring

No, it has no effect. In ES the sound level is put back to 0% after leaving the sound menu.
But in my beloved version from march, this is the same, anyway as the volume for this card is not regulable and always at max.
I see the problem from the driver side, the hifiberry driver is not loaded. If you have the tools to run a compare between versions. If you compare build 11603320 with the stable release, somewhere shoud be the answer, I think.

@substring same for me the 409 line looks line the one you propose already and even with the # changes, no sound again.
But my ES seems to save volume after reboot or leavong dound menu unlike dragu..

@dragu said in No more sound after installing v. 4.1 in recalbox:

11603320

ok that's the runner ID.

Have you followed https://support.hifiberry.com/hc/en-us/articles/205377651-Configuring-Linux-4-x-or-higher ? looks like it's not "compatible" with our default config.txt

[Dragu]

@Substring
Yes, the modifications in the config.txt are made this way. Would also be interesting if aplay was in the package.

[Substring]

@dragu aplay is not on the pi, but aplay is not useful in that case.

Try this :

cat > ~/.asoundrc << EOF
pcm.!default  {
 type hw card 0
}
ctl.!default {
 type hw card 0
}
EOF

reboot, report

[Dragu]

@Substring
No change.
But I have no directory /proc/asound/ as lackyluuk has.

[lackyluuk]

@Dragu Don't know if it's relevant for this, but have you created a asound.conf file?

I also noticed that if I remove the internal sound card, it is added back after every reboot into /boot/config.txt

[Dragu]

@lackyluuk
@Substring

Yes, /etc/asound.conf I created, is there that I made the modifications from
before, (cat >..) I expect it was the right place, or should this block be in /boot/config.txt ?

[Substring]

@dragu WTF ? no /proc/asound ??? i guess lackyluuk hasn't removed the dtparm=audio=on from the config.txt. But still ... I'll look at changes since March

[lackyluuk]

If I remove dtparam=audio=on in the config.txt it is automatically re-added after a reboot. Only commenting it out helps. But then I cannot access amixer, alsamixer etc anymore. And no soundcard at all is loaded

[Dragu]

@substring
Take your time, I am not playing fulltime, have a rescue from march and also some other cats to whip...

[Substring]

@Dragu if you still have your march image, can you check lsmod if a specific module is loaded ? I'll check the differences on audio between april and march (and there are many)

[benj008]

It had become a bit complicated for me... I leave it to you professionals
Ok with Dragu i'm not in a hurry so take time
Could you just let me know if you find something that work it out?

Thank you

[Dragu]

@Substring
If you tell me how to make screenshot, there is a lot. there are 6 snd_soc modules loaded snd_soc_hifiberry_dacplus and snd_soc_hifiberry_dac snd_soc_pcm512x_ic2 snd_soc_bcm2835_i2s snd_soc_pcm512x snd_soc_core

thats it for the march version.

In the 4.1 Stable in my configuration not one snd_soc is loaded.

[lackyluuk]

@dragu just use raspi2png and the screenshots are saved in your shared folder

[Dragu]

@lackyluuk
thanks.

[monsieurlefou]

@dragu I have also a problem with hifiberry dacplus. It worked very well with recalbox 4.0.2 but since the maj 4.1 no sound anymore....

But i have this:
boot$ cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [sndrpihifiberry]: snd_rpi_hifiber - snd_rpi_hifiberry_dacplus
snd_rpi_hifiberry_dacplus

Strange?

Thanks for your help!

[lackyluuk]

@monsieurlefou What Raspberry do you use?
how does your etc/modules.conflook like? Do you have any other modules loaded than the internal sound card (bcm2835)? Or did you remove the internal one?

It seems that your card is loaded.

[monsieurlefou]

Hi and thanks for your help!

My PI is a PI3
My etc/modules.conf looks alike:

snd_bcm2835
uinput
usbhid

I don't remove anything

[lackyluuk]

@monsieurlefou It's the same as for me. According to Hifiberry it does not matter if the soundcard is not in modules.conf when the dtoverlay=hifiberry_dacplus is set and the dtparam=audio=on is removed from config.txt. But I don't know exactly how it works in recalbox
