InnoMaker Raspberry Pi HiFi DAC HAT PCM5122

Building Zynthian
1

I was introduced to Zynthian through Floyd Steinberg’s channel, and thought I would give it a try on a basic Raspberry Pi 4 kit.

This is the kit I used: (Not the official Zynthian kit, but this did work quite well.)

I absolutely loved it! I had some minor latency using the RBPi headphone jack, so I decided to do some upgrades. I ordered the Zynthian Basic kit v2, and tried out the Innomaker DAC hat.

Specific link here:

Here’s what happened:
Not only was I getting a number of xRun warnings, the speed of setBfree and OBXd was doubled.
So when using the rotary feature of setBfree, the sound was not that lush authentic B3 sound that I was achieving though headphone jack.

Are there some settings with this specific soundcard that I can try to alleviate this?
Or should I purchase a HifiBerry DAC+ that is supported by Zynthian?

Has anyone else experienced this “speed doubling”?

I tried out a Pi3 to see if that would help the speed, and there is no noticeable performance difference.

You’ve set the the soundcard to be the HiFiBerry DAC+ but you’ve stated you have the InnoMaker card. Looking at Amazon it says

We don’t have a preset for InnoMaker so if you could provide the settings by opening a bug Here we would be very grateful.

Hi @AutoBass! Welcome to Zynthianland, the home of the free but not necessarily easy :smiley:.

Your config shows a Pi 3A. You said you tried a Pi 3 to see if that helped but is likely to give substantially worse behaviour. Go back to your Pi4.

You are using an old image. You should ensure you are fully updated but it might prove advantageous to flash a new stable image (and then update).

As @Baggypants says, you have selected an audio configuration that is incompatible with your sound card. You can try each audio configuration preset to see if any work. It is a bit laborious, requiring a reboot between each change but you have the hardware so can do this test that none of us can. It is possible you have chosen to purchase hardware that is not compatible with Zynthian but more likely that it needs some configuration to make it work. Report back on your success.

your DAC is “alloboss DAC” compatible :

Driver is there (at least on the latest zynthian install):

root@zynthian:~# ls /boot/overlays/|grep allo
allo-boss2-dac-audio.dtbo
allo-boss-dac-pcm512x-audio.dtbo
allo-digione.dtbo
allo-katana-dac-audio.dtbo
allo-piano-dac-pcm512x-audio.dtbo
allo-piano-dac-plus-pcm512x-audio.dtbo

So, under webconf->hardware->audio, choose custom, check “advanced view” and add in “Driver config” section:

dtoverlay=allo-boss-dac-pcm512x-audio

keep other settings as is(eg: “-P 70 -t 2000 -s -d alsa -d hw:0 -r 44100 -p 256 -n 2 -X raw” in jackd options).

reboot.

If you get after reboot the IP error message, please provide output of dmesg, lsmod, aplay -l commands

If working, please report too, so that we can update le list in the webconf tool :wink:

HifiBerry cards use 22 & 24 MHz oscillators so it’s normal you get the “double speed” issue :wink:

Regards,

In seventy odd years of professional audio we are still playing stuff at the wrong speed !! :smiley:

There’s the answer! I did not see that description on the Amazon link, but that would explain the behavior.

I have filed a bug report on Git-Hub with the link you provided.
(My user name there is billiam-wrenchall).
Should you require any additional information, please let me know, and I can add that here or in the bug report.

Because there was no listing for the Innomaker, I just tried a few different drivers to see what would be functional.

HifiBerry DAC+ and HifiBerry DAC+ ADC “Kind of” work, but as you said, it’s the wrong driver.

Thank you so much for your help!!!

Glad to see it’s heading in the right direction!

Course this does render up a small matter of a :face_with_monocle:

If this seems confused just press on the mononcle’d icon for an explanation!

Hi @Riban!

Oh, most definitely not easy, haha!
I did try a number of the soundcard drivers listed (and yes, it was absolutely laborious to select/reboot/try-again multiple times)
I’ll flash the sd card to the latest image, and return to the Pi4, and report back what I find.

@le51 provided some good insight on compatibility. I’ll give that a try as well.

Hi @wyleu !

I’m more than happy to share some photos, content, and sound clips soon in another thread!

In particular, Zynthian was the most compatible for my Arduino driven MIDI controller.

More on that in a bit :wink:

Hi @le51 !

Excellent suggestion! I’m going back to my Pi4, and I’ll flash the latest Zynthian image to the SD.
I’m using a Sandisk extreme 64G, and that should provide adequate storage space and speed.
I can add that to the bug report if needed.

I’ll follow the instruction you listed here for the alloboss driver, and report back with the results.

Thank you so much for your insight!

And sadly, the Zynthian does not properly boot.

It just flashes back and forth between the splash screen and another screen error:

systemd[1]: /etc/systemd/system/backlight.service:6: Failed to add dependency on splash-screen, ignoring: Unknown error -22

Raspian GNU/Linux 10 zynthian tty1

zynthian login:

The webconf is still accessible, and I can also use PuTTy.

Could you check if jackd is running OK?

# journalctl -u jack2

Thanks!

You must use the soundcard name, not its index to ensure it works when Linux enumerates cards differently. Change Jackd Options to

-P 70 -t 2000 -s -d alsa -d BossDAC -r 44100 -p 256 -n 2 -X raw

Gave it a try, and unfortunately the same result.

Here’s the output from journalctl -u jack2, using dtoverlay=allo-boss-dac-pcm512x-audio in the custom device webconf:
