LMS/Squeezelite on OPi Zero with daughter board - Problems

[Sciamano]

Hello,
I've just received the official expansion board for the OPi Zero, so I immediately tried it with the LMS/squeezelite combo.
There are a few problems:

1) installation errors out with an error 100, but it will not specify which package caused it. apt-get -f install won't solve. After apt-get update and another try at installation it seemed to have worked
2) I can't seem to be able to make the lineout of the expansion board work. What should I change in dietpi in order to have squeezelite output to the expansion board's lineout?

Thanks

Had to order a replacement board due to failure , i need to update this image anyway, so i'll run some tests to find out whats needed for this:

That's unfortunate. Did the board just suddenly die?
Maybe it's just my fault, with me unable to set the board up correctly, but I don't think it should be any different than setting up the OPi PC's sound card.

Did the board just suddenly die?

Yep, completely dead, even on serial/uart, nothing.

OPi lacks build quality if i'am honest. In all the time of doing DietPi, my OPi PC HDMI out is dead, OPi Zero board is completely dead. Every other board, fine

I'll get the image made tomorrow and run some tests, could be an issue our end, so no worries

I have the impression that behind Xunlong Shenzen etc. etc. there is only one person.
I have two OPi PC's and one Zero. So far so good, but the good part is that they are very inexpensive.

I'm curious to understand what's wrong but take your time. There's no hurry.

Yep, cheap as chips, give RPi a run for their money lol

Ok new image is live:

I've tested sound through expansion board, works fine:

Code: Select all

apt-get install alsa-utils
speaker-test -c2

or

dietpi-config > audio options > soundcard > default

In regards to the apt errors you received, unable to replicate, however, was this a specific software title in dietpi-software, and, which?

Great, I will try it on monday (I have left the Zero at work...) and let you know.

Error 100 was given immediately after the zero had downloaded the deb for LMS.
I had previously selected both LMS and squeezelite for installation.
After the error, nothing got installed. I then gave apt-get update and after that the installation completed without errors.

Tried with the new image, leaving everything default except by choosing "default 3,5mm Analogue" in config -> Audio.
speaker-test will produce no audio at all.

I guess I have a faulty expansion board.

EDIT: No I have not... I've tried with Armbian, and I can get audio from the board.
What's wrong with my DietPi configuration, then?

Strange,

Ok, new install of OPi Zero:

Code: Select all

apt-get install alsa-utils
speaker-test -c2

Sound works on expansion board.

Install of LMS/Squeezelite:

Code: Select all

dietpi-software install 35 36

Test playback via LMS, working fine.

Cant seem to replicate the issue, works fine for me.

Whats the output of:

Code: Select all

aplay -l
cat /etc/asound.conf

Shouldn't make a difference, but which Zero interface board version do you have? Mine is v1.1

That's exactly what I have done. Not working.
Did the same with Armbian: working. :shock:

I will check ASAP and let you know.
