Hiss/noise Kali/Piano2.1 playing files > 44,1/16
« on: April 08, 2018, 11:20:11 AM »
hi there,
I would upgrade my set from RPI2/Kali/Mamboberry to RPI2/Kali/Piano2.1.
Unfortunately only my "normal" 44.1/16 music files play in this configuration (dual mono and dual stereo).
All other formats (like 88,2/24 and 96/24) sounds like a hard continuous hiss. no music, only hiss.
I cleaned the 40 pin connectors, reconnected the parts en reflashed the software.
Latest version of Volumio. power via IFI 5 v power suply.
Piano2.1 without Kali plays great all formats and back to Mamboberry/Kali also no problems with formats >44.1/16
Reinstalled everything, tried all settings in Volumio, but nothing helps?
Please can you give me the golden key?
I look forward to the moment that I can use my Kali/Piano combo!!
regards, Jos

Hi,

   On New kernal 4.14.2x or above S24_LE (24 bit) not supported by KALI , to work need to enable resample 32 bit on volumio.

   Go to playback option you will get Audio Resembling option in bottom.

Thank you for the quick response! It works, but Kali and Piano are still able to do that without software resampling?
Your colleague Michelangelo gives the advice in the Volumio: So I don't suggest to enable resampling with Piano:

It feels like a kind of trick to get playing hi-res samples with kali/piano

Does it help when I use an old version of the volumio image? From before the new kernel?

Hi,

   Yes it will work in old volumio versions up to 2.378.
