Re: 24/96 Squeezeplay and External USB DAC
Just had a thought why my wilberforce/triode squeezeplay Joggler failed the MDAC bit perfect test. I think the SqueezeplayOS limits the max volume to 70% if this limit is still in place, it would cause a bit perfect failure. I'm not in a position to test this at present, but does it should plausible?

Re: 24/96 Squeezeplay and External USB DAC
The Wilberforce applet is based on Triodes EDO which is designed to enable the Squeezebox Touch to use its USB system for digital out, rather than SPDIF. On the SBT it actually disables analogue and SPDIF outputs, so I suspect it does the same on the Joggler.

Re: 24/96 Squeezeplay and External USB DAC
Decided to do some final testing as my Joggler is about to get redeployed into the new bathroom! Connected to the Audiolab MDAC the Joggler SqueezeplayOS EDO doesn't pass the bit perfect test 8-( The "real" SBT does, so we've got 99.9% there. It still sounds fine in my very revealing syste...

Re: 24/96 Squeezeplay and External USB DAC
Do you use squeezeplayOS from a USB stick or have you installed in internally? If you run from a stick then Win32Discimage that you used to flash your stick in the first place can also take a backup of your stick as it is now including EDO. I'm not sure if EDO would write any changes or config from...

Re: 24/96 Squeezeplay and External USB DAC
Now I've got this working, other SBT fans want one... how easy would it be to build a USB stick that installs squeezeplayOS and the EDO in one hit?

Re: 24/96 Squeezeplay and External USB DAC
Bingo!!! now playing Natalie Merchant in full 24bit/96kHz glory!!! Many many thanks. Will do some listening tests, but I'm sure it will sound identical to my "real" SBT, and the big screen looks good on the rack. Happy!!!

Re: 24/96 Squeezeplay and External USB DAC
Careful with the reinstalls - dont want to burn out the flash :D Out of interest did you try switching back to Intel MID (internal card)? If so, did that work? - Slightly confusingly you select this in the Digital Out bit of audio settings (even if you want analog) Another thing to check is that ji...

Re: 24/96 Squeezeplay and External USB DAC
Tried the logging to a different point, still getting cyclic reboot...
I'll try the reinstall of the latest version tomorrow, and look to see if the jive_alsa has moved.

Re: 24/96 Squeezeplay and External USB DAC
I didn't go to bed...
Tried a reinstall of squeezeplayOS, and then just the edit of the squeezeplay.sh and got cyclic boot. So, I'll try the alternative log location,
but maybe tomorrow as I'm dozing off at the keyboard now!

Re: 24/96 Squeezeplay and External USB DAC
reinstalled a clean squeezeplayOS, but no edits to squeezeplay.sh this time it behaved rather more like my real SBT, and offered me the external USB DAC as a choice on boot. It then said rebooting, but hasn't rebooted after maybe 5 mins. I will now power cycle... MDAC says ready... no sound. I'll no...

Re: 24/96 Squeezeplay and External USB DAC
I'm running the internal version... makes it easier to install the USB DAC - not got a handy USB boot distro atm. The reinstall is quite speedy.

Re: 24/96 Squeezeplay and External USB DAC
Oh dear... now I have broken it! I edited as above - but maybe fatal laziness was copying it over to windows and editing with notepad++ reloaded it and went for reboot. Its now cycling at 02 logo with some screen corruption stripes at the bottom.. then it goes blank, and re-appears. I think I need t...

Re: 24/96 Squeezeplay and External USB DAC
All installed and the MDAC is recognised and lots of information about the DAC available... In Advanced it shows the MDAC as the output, but the DAC says "ready", but no sound, and the track doesn't play... have I done something wrong?

24/96 Squeezeplay and External USB DAC
I've made a quick port of triode's applet... It lacks the cpu power saving tweaks, but it should allow you to select a usb sound card / dac. Mad props to triode - license is BSD.

Re: 24/96 Squeezeplay and External USB DAC
Ah, not got as far as I thought... 44.1kHz files now showing as 48kHz - and changes to the desktopJive.lua disappear on reboot, and make no apparent difference anyway, so I suspect desktopJive.lua is written from somewhere else on boot... So, in reality, I've got nowhere 8-( beats mowing the lawn I ...

Re: 24/96 Squeezeplay and External USB DAC
just before your post (honest!) I applied a brain cell, and did a sudo chmod, which seemed to work! I've now got 16bit 96kHz showing on my DAC, which is a bit suspicious as the file I'm playing is 24bit 48kHz, so I suspect my edit of the asound.conf line rate 44100 to rate 96000 is just setting a fi...
