No more sound after installing v. 4.1 in recalbox

[Substring]

@dragu I guess I spend about 4 to 6h a day on support for 4.1 since Friday, and it's becoming exhausting ... So many people who just can't read or report false bugs ... Have to find the truth in all forum topics

But the hifiberry IS a real regression bug that sadly I can't test at home

Now can you make that line 409 look like :

for param in `amixer controls | cut -d ',' -f 1` ; do recallog "Setting volume for $param" ; amixer -q cset ${param} 100% ; done

reboot, and report ?

[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
