Issue enabling HifiBerry

Building Zynthian
1

Hello Everyone,

I am a proud owner of a new Zynthian.
I put the v4 kit together as instructed but when I enable to HifiBerry ADC DAC + Pro, the Zynthian boots in the error screen.
When switched to the internal headphones, the device starts and is operable.

I am using the standard settings for the hifiberry as per Zynthian.

This is the log I have been able to retrieve:

Hi, welcome

Your Hifiberry dac is recognized by the system, and it looks like even jackd sound server is running. So your problem shouldn’t be related to the hardware, but

=> well, I’ve checked, while replying,the source code on Github and it looks like /zynthian/zynthian-ui/jackpeak/build.sh doesn’t exist anymore …

do you use https://os.zynthian.org/zynthianos-last-stable.zip as image (timestamped at 2020-09-06 01:39) or any of the later one ?
Have you done any software update ?

Hello,

Thanks for your reply!
I have used the latest zynthianos stable release.
This was labeled 2020-09-05-zynthianos-buster-lite-armhf-1.0.0.
I have not updated or did anything except reading the logs.
It is also quite peculiar that the card is recognized in alsamixer.

Is there a way to install Zynthian on top of raspbian if I get that working with the sound card?
Thanks!

I have reflashed the image several times now and have used different cards…
Will be trying hifiberry OS to see whether it is the hardware but seeing as it is all new, I doubt it.
I have noticed that the hifiberry DAC ADC Pro is hardware revision 1.0.1…
Could this have anything to do with it?

Thanks!
Stay weird :slight_smile:

I’m quiet sure that this is jackpeak related as on the post about sfizzz integration linked above.
I’ve just noticied that @jofemodo has moved this in zynlibs folder.
So from a shh access can you try to run as root:
/zynthian/zynthian-ui/zynlibs/jackpeak/build.sh

6

Thanks for the reply!
Strange… My jackpeak install is in /zynthian/zynthian-ui/jackpeak.

root@zynthian:/zynthian/zynthian-ui# ls
doc img README.md zynautoconnect zyngine zynthian_emu.sh
fonts jackpeak software zyncoder zyngui zynthian_gui.py
icons LICENSE.txt sys-scripts zynconf zynseq zynthian.sh

There does not appear to be a zynlibs folder…
Are you using the same version as I am?

I initiated the build but it did not change anything:
root@zynthian:/zynthian/zynthian-ui/jackpeak# ./build.sh
/zynthian/zynthian-ui/jackpeak /zynthian/zynthian-ui/jackpeak
/zynthian/zynthian-ui/jackpeak/build /zynthian/zynthian-ui/jackpeak /zynthian/zy nthian-ui/jackpeak

No, I’m not at home and close to my zynthian’s at all but I follow what’s happens around here :wink:

See here on github, there is now a zynthian zynlibs directory
https://github.com/zynthian/zynthian-ui/tree/master/zynlibs/jackpeak

the commit is 2 month old

do you still have

when you start zynthian in debug mode from the webconf utility ?

The only time the lights on the card come on is if I select DAC ADC pro in the audio menu.
So I presume this is at least correct as the sound card gets detected.

error is still there even if you have rebuilt the client.

From the webconf, you can try to update the system and see what happens …

I just did and now it says:

Then I executed the build command for the new version of jack.

I went looking for the directory you supplied.
I found the directory but there are one folder and one file in there

root@zynthian:/zynthian/zynthian-ui/jackpeak# ls
build pycache

in build folder:
root@zynthian:/zynthian/zynthian-ui/jackpeak/build# ls
CMakeCache.txt CMakeFiles cmake_install.cmake libjackpeak.so Makefile

Thanks!

I have now found that when I kill the Zynthian service and stop jackd that I am able to issue the following command:
root@zynthian:/media/usb# aplay Groovy.wav
Playing WAVE ‘Groovy.wav’ : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Mono

I have disabled the onboard soundcard in /boot/config.txt

I am still not getting ANY sound output despite:
root@zynthian:/media/usb# aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: sndrpihifiberry [snd_rpi_hifiberry_dacplusadcpro], device 0: HiFiBerry DAC+ADC Pro HiFi multicodec-0 [HiFiBerry DAC+ADC Pro HiFi multicodec-0]
Subdevices: 0/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

Maybe have a look with alsamixer command if sound output is not disabled.

And double check the wiring

Also, you Can use

  • systemctl start (or stop or status) jack2 to control jack sound server service
  • systemctl start/stop/status zynthian to control zynthian service

Note that jackd should be running before you start zynthian

But all these annoyances shouldn’t happend with the kit. I can’t understand why zynthian ui won’t start

14

I am beginning to think the hifiberry might be a DOA :frowning:
It is definitely being recognized as the lights are on so I do not think it is a driver issue.
I will get to the bottom of how alsa and jack2 work but unfortunately this will take some time I think…

In the mean time if anybody thinks of a reason, please do not hesitate to reply or contact me :slight_smile:

No sound output could be a bad wiring problem, some settings in alsamixer that have to be adjusted or a broken soundcard.

From the webconf, could you try to disable the cpu meter and restart zynthian service
