Issues with first run (no sound, no webconfig...)

speaker-test seems instructive :
speaker-test 1.0.28

Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy
root@zynthian:~#
root@zynthian:~# Playback device is default
-bash: Playback: command not found
root@zynthian:~# Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels
-bash: Stream: command not found
root@zynthian:~# Using 16 octaves of pink noise
-bash: Using: command not found
root@zynthian:~# Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy
-bash: Playback: command not found

And now try alsamixer and pump up the volume

maximum already reached i think :

must precise that i tried some commands from this topic after my first amixer : http://blog.scphillips.com/posts/2013/01/sound-configuration-on-raspberry-pi-with-alsa/

surely Explain the volume up (but i thought didn’t have found correct parameters, it seems that indeed yes) i’m 100% now with amixer on L and R.

BUT ! … no sound… same message with speaker-test :
Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy
root@zynthian:~#

Same result with audio test from zynthian : nothing !

Have you tried 44.1k?
Why is it at 48?
Maybe a screenshot of the webconf-audio page and a photo of the wiring could help us

i’ll do this, for now i have mount volumio and => sound !!! cards fully working so.

Remount zynthian => still non sound

I’ll dig more in a couple of minutes

what’s the command to modify stream parameters ? can’t find it :-/

audio page :

wiring (don’t really know which part is important) :

erf… suppose it was THIS wiring :wink:

for what it worth : another zynthian mounted on a brand new sd card, update included.

= Exactly same result.

Makes no sense.

a nightmare…

may have missed it, but which software synth are you testing with in the menu? And what MIDI channel is it set to?

I think, the AudioTest in the main menu doesn’t even work.

Could you stop the Zynthian service, run it via SSH and start the audio test?
And post the log messages here?

i’m sure it’s stupid question but my brain is melting… : how do i stop zynthian service ?!

got it (i think), i’ll try. not sur of the command line for running audio test (not “speaker-test” i guess)

systemctl stop zynthian

And then in the /zynthian/zynthian-sys/sbin
./zynthian.sh

No command line…via zynthian-ui

This is the point where I tried a different sound module… hardware…but maybe somebody else has seen this before?
