Hi,
Using your sparky sbc with cheapo and the vanaplayer image. Testing with headphones. Is there anything else in particular you need to know?
Thanks.
-
Another thing I noticed is that Linux doesn't see any audio device... nor via gpio or the Sparky onboard dac. Missing drivers in the vanaplayer image?

Dear Team,
Which player you are using is it M2P or volumio?and from where you downloaded image?
And which SD card you are using is it allo SD CARD?

Hi,
It is M2P. Imagen downloaded from:
https://github.com/sparkysbc/sparky_linux_images/blob/master/README.md
I wrote the imagen on an sd card following instructions. Image boots, but no sound device seen. Yet another thing noticed is that when I run Kofi from M2P web front end, and go to settings-audio output, my mouse freezes. This only happens on this menu option... any other entry does not affect the mouse.
Thanks again.

Hi Admin,
I am using 141016.
I haven't tried RCA or SPDIF... in any case, no audio device seen in Linux config settings.
Thanks.

In case it helps, the at the boot log, I get something like pcm512x can't be registered...

Dear Team,
We will check in our lab and update you the status.

Dear Team,
Piano 2.0 (171016) or piano2.1(141016) will not included cheapo driver so cheapo will not work with this image .You can Download Diet pi from below link it will support CHEAPO
http://www.dietpi.com/#noAction
And flash image to SD CARD and boot the sparky board with image
After booting you can install squeezebox server and squeelite player
Then you can access the sqeezebox server through browser by entering the ip :9000
Note:Please connect properly connect 3 pin to sparky which are present in CHEAPO board

Hi,
Thanks!... Can you tell me whether the S/PDIF output will work with Dietpi?... This is fed through the GPIO according to the documentation.
thanks,

Also, installed DietPi... and after browsing through their forums, the Sparky is in beta phase, with no support for GPU features yet... this means Kodi, and graphical desktop environments can't be installed.
Can you guys tell me what's the plan for full support of DietPi for your board?
Thanks!
