SimpleEqualizer does not work with V2.799

Help and Support

Hello balbuze,

I’ve tried this allready.
When i did a reset and set the Dac and other settings i have sound. When i install after that the plugin the sound is gone. Reboot doesn’t help. There is no sound at all, no radio, no tidal not even the startup sound. When i put back “the original Dac” settings the sound is still gone. When i remove the plugin i still have no sound. I have to do a reset to have sound again without Equalizer.
There is a second Equalizer, it has the same problem.

Greetings,
Patrick

when you disable or remove the plugin, you may have to set the dac and mixer to be able to play something.
can you send your log using when plugin is enable: https://volumio.github.io/docs/User_Manual/Sending_logs_for_troubleshooting.html

and if possible the content of /etc/asound.conf and /data/configuration/audio_interface/alsa_controller/config.json
thanks

Thank you for willing to help!

Hope this would not be standard procedure after any Volumio update.

We as Volumio can have control of Volumio itself and check everything is fine for each update.
With plugins this becomes next to impossible to test everything and this is demanded to plugins authors…

We’re working to incorporate a standard way to edit audio out for plugins, so those problems won’t happen again.

Here is my log report after Simple EQ plugin is made NOT Active.

Have you removed the plugin, reboot, configure output and volume mixer and reinstall the plugin?
I see an error with lib_asound that appears when Volumio is updated. It brakes something with this lib. The only is to reinstall the plugin.
Let me know
Edit: you may have to do

sudo apt remove libasound2-plugin-equal

Before reinstalling the plugin.

19

Followed your instructions including the sudo apt remove command. Still no sound.

http://logs.volumio.org/volumio/rVp2H1w.html

20

Have you reinstalled the plugin after that? I see

ALSA lib conf.c:3523:(snd_config_hooks_call) Cannot open shared library libasound_module_conf_pulse.so

As if it was not installed.
If this the case, what return

sudo apt install libasound2-plugin-equal

What it working before with your hw?

21

Plugin NOT Active, sound is played thru HAT, and this is the output:

volumio@ampit3:~$ sudo apt install libasound2-plugin-equal
[sudo] password for volumio:

Make EQ plugin Active and you get NO sound and this is the output:

volumio@ampit3:~$ sudo apt install libasound2-plugin-equal

libasound2-plugin-equal is already the newest version.

The same.

Yes the HW HAT did work. I emailed Gordon at IQAudio when this problem started and he believes it is SW issue. Iquadio DigiAMP and Volumio 2.657

Got the following reply from Gordon.

"Hi Chris, mmmm - sounds like Volumio have made a change.

All our boards use the same base Linux drivers. The DigiAMP and old amp+ also need to be unmuted at startup but all can use the same device tree settings.

Don’t think you have a hardware issue."

22

ouch…
please try

sudo apt-get install libasound2-plugins

edit : I reinstalled the plugin on a RPI4, no external DAC, and it just works… Hard to understand… Can you select headphone as output to test please?

23

I am also still trying… but it doesn’t work. When I do not touch the EQ it’s ok, but when I install it the problems are back.

An other question, where can I download the version before V2.799 ?

Greetings,
Patrick

24

a previous version for RPI : volumio 2.779
For the non working version, is it a fresh install or an update?

25

Hi,

Thank you! I am going to try it soon.

Greetings,
Patrick

26

For the non working versions, I tried both (upgrade and fresh install) . Both ways no sound with EQ.
I hope the problems will be solved soon, till then I run the old version.
