Problems with Brutefir-plugin #39

Closed BenHoeeck closed 7 years ago

BenHoeeck commented 7 years ago

Hi, i use Volumio2 (Vers. 2.129) on a RPi 3 Modell B V1.2 connected to a Roland UA1G DAC via USB and have following problems with Brutefir for Volumio 0.2.6:

  1. It tries to install twice, which seems to be a common problem with plugins, so i do not really care.
  2. Unlike other plugins, it is not shown in the plugin section unless the RPi is rebootet. Ok with me as well.
  3. It does not really save any of the settings in the plugin, to be correctly, there is no "popup" saying that the settings were saved, like it is, when i save setting in other menus. It did save the name of the filter, which i started to try it with: anothertest.wav, but it did not always save the output (USB: UA1G) and most of all, the plugin is always inactive and the advanced settings are off, when i return in the plugin section.
  4. Most important: There is no sound. I have chosen loopback in the Playback menu and Loopback as input/UA1G DAC as output in the plugin, but it is quiet. I tried several settings in the UI in the last days, using the second newest versions of volumio and brutefir plugin, but at one point, it seems, that there were so many things screwed, that i was not even able to save the playback options as UA1G to listen to music without brutefir, so that i formatted the sdcard and reinstalled everything in the newest versioin, but it still does not work. I do not know, what to do, so it would be nice, if i can get some help here. Thanks and best regards, Ben

Hello Balbuze. I don't know what I have done but Brutefir is active now. The sound however is very soft and "broken" (hikups). It almost looks as if the raspberry PI 2 I've got is not fast enough to do the processing needed.

hi, the sound is 10db lower. It is set by attenuation in advanced settings. You can change the value, but the equalizer allows -/+ 10db wide range per band. So if you set attenuation to 5, and set the equalizer to 10, you'll 5db out ! consequence lot off distorsion clipping. For the hikups, it is strange as if I remember, on a RP2, cpu load was about 20%. I'm going to retry. And if everything works as expected, I will publish soon a new version.....
