I'm happily running mpd on my raspi
but I thought adding an equalizer in te loop would be just great.
It's supposed to be system-wide, so all conf files are in /etc.
I followed mainly this :
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ad ... _equalizer
and also
http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=17386
http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=330833
But encoutered several issues, and in the end it doesn't work (to make it short
)I installed the package alsaequal from aur, by simply adding 'armv6h' in the arch array, it installed without complaining.
Here's my /etc/asoundrc : not set to use 'equal' by default as it fails.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
ctl.equal {
type equal;
}
pcm.plugequal {
type equal;
slave.pcm "plug:dmix";
}
pcm.equal {
# Or if you want the equalizer to be your
# default soundcard uncomment the following
# line and comment the above line.
#pcm.!default {
type plug;
slave.pcm plugequal;
hint {
show on
description "Default ALSA Output (currently : equalizer plugin)"
}
}
')
Here's what I have :
- alsamixer -D equal works (user and root)
- 'aplay -D plugequal' : no way to have sound, be it from root user or any user.
Here's the weird error I get :
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
Playing WAVE 'foobar.wav' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 11025 Hz, Mono
aplay: set_params:1233: Sample format non available
Available formats:
- FLOAT_LE
')
Note that the same file plays nice with 'sysdefault' (i.e. : with no parameter given to aplay, or with an empty asoudrc)
And finally, with this in mpd.conf :
The 'best' results I obtained was the errors below, but now, not even that :
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'alsa_output: Failed to open "ALSA Sound Device" [alsa]: Failed to open ALSA device "plug:plugequal": Operation not permitted
')
But I can't even get close to that.
Now, mpd just... seems to hang. aving played with mpd.conf options... I can't figure out what happens. systemctl stop doesn't kill the process, I kill-9 it then restart it.
Finally here's my dmesg output, with only some garbage coming from a firmware update bug (from what I've read)
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[Sun Sep 7 16:10:44 2014] bcm2835_audio_set_ctls:559 Controls set for stream 0

')
Any clue is welcome !
thanks a lot,
