Wolfson and MPD  working

I'm trying to get my wolfson card going-but I'm terribly struck...

What i did:

- install 2014-01-07-wheezy-raspbianW.zip

- expandet the FS

- updated

- sudo apt-get install lxmusic xmms2 xmms2-plugin-all volumeicon-alsa mpg123 mplayer 

startx, and the musicplayer:

there is no sound, altough i tried all output sound-systems..

at the bash

i get errors when i try to play some music directly...

Any hint how to get it working?

You remembered to run the appropriate use case script (Playback_to...) first?

"-updated"

Updated what? It's possible you have updated the kernel, and now have an official Foundation kernel without the Wolfson drivers.

The command

cat /proc/version

should return "Linux version 3.10.25_Wolfson+ (ragnar@kernel)..."

If it doesn't, try

sudo cp /boot/kernel_wolfson.img /boot/kernel.img

and reboot.

of course i replaced the kernel after the update...

cat /proc/version

Linux version 3.10.25_Wolfson+ (ragnar@kernel) (gcc version 4.7.1 20120402 (prerelease) (crosstool-NG 1.15.2) ) #1 PREEMPT Fri Feb 21 00:03:14 CET 2014

yes I did....

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ /home/pi/use_case_scripts/Playback_to_All.sh

numid=151,iface=MIXER,name='HPOUT2 Digital Switch'

  ; type=BOOLEAN,access=rw------,values=2

  ; Item #2 'Tone Generator 2'

  ; Item #3 'Haptics'

  ; Item #4 'AEC'

  ; Item #5 'Mic Mute Mixer'

  ; Item #6 'Noise Generator'

I always get an error:

mpd

Failed to bind to '[::]:6600': Failed to create socket: Address family not supported by protocol

"Failed to bind to '[::]:6600'"

It looks like mpd is trying to use IPv6.

Could you post your mpd.conf file?

sorry took a few days to get back to life...

To make sure, that I made no mistake i started from beginning...

- install (2014-01-07-wheezy-raspbianW.zip)

- update

# sudo apt-get update

# sudo apt-get upgrade

# sudo rpi-update

# sudo reboot

- replace kernel and check it:

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ cat /proc/version

Linux version 3.10.25_Wolfson+ (ragnar@kernel) (gcc version 4.7.1 20120402 (prerelease) (crosstool-NG 1.15.2) ) #1 PREEMPT Fri Feb 21 00:03:14 CET 2014

- install Music-progr's:

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo apt-get install lxmusic xmms2 xmms2-plugin-all volumeicon-alsa mpg123 mplayer

- use use-case-script

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo /home/pi/use_case_scripts/Playback_to_All.sh

which gives me an output (I removed the lines with the ";" in front  to make the list shorter ;-)

when i start mplayer with a music file I get:

So, I think there is a configuration problem of mplayer or alsa....

Any hint?

"Device or resource busy"

Something else is using the sound card.

Try this to find out what:

fuser -uv /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p

"sudo /home/pi/use_case_scripts/Playback_to_All.sh"

Don't use sudo to run the use case scripts.

OK, so the xmms2 daemon is running. Probably some other player has started it. E.g. LXMusic is an xmms2 client.

Do you have any other player programs running? Close them.

If not, kill it. kill 2342

OK, the fisrt step is done...

(here the pi strucks until I press ^C twice)

As I mentioned aboce, I startet new - so I didn't install mpd / mpc: ist that a problem? should I?

I have the exact same output as you from mplayer. Except mine plays the file...

The two lines you have bolded can be ignored, they are from when mplayer tries to find an infra-red remote control receiver.

What is the output from aplay -l and aplay -L ?

What happens if you try to play a wav file with aplay -vv file.wav?

EDIT: No don't install mpd/mpc yet. That will only complicate matters.

I don't have them installed.
