SimpleEqualizer does not work with V2.799

Help and Support

I upgraded to V 2.799 and had to disable SimpleEqualizer to have sound.

I2s dac hw number changed. Chances are that enabling and saving conf will solve your issue

Ok, now working fines.

Hello,

I have the same problem. After the new update (799) i have no sound.
I did a complete reset, and it worked. But when i install SimpleEqualizer the sound is gone and i have to redo everything.
I need the Equalizer, please help.

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.

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.

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?
