Thanks for this (good) information... so, last question :
Which RT Kernel for USBridge ?

 

I've tested only your proposition (201012 Test). link above

unfortunately with RT kernels on the usb bridge there are clicks, depending on the dac....

however you can find them in the list in selectkernel, those are the last ones

No clicks or scraches with kernel version 4.19.106-GentooPlayer-RT-MIN-NOGRAPH-rt44 + ...
but, dropouts every 10/15 sec with DSD 128 (12 MB on Ethernet).


The future RT version with patches will be the right one 😉

if you want you can test these two kernels TEST:

 

mount /boot
cd /tmp
wget https://github.com/antonellocaroli/kernel-test/releases/download/GP-Rpi3-Kernel-TEST-RT/GP-Rpi3-Kernel-TEST-RT.tar.xz


tar xf GP-Rpi3-Kernel-TEST-RT.tar.xz --xattrs --numeric-owner --no-same-owner -C /

 

you will find two more RT kernels in selectkernel

Thanks Flippo — I’ve really been enjoying the sound I’m getting through GP (default kernel). 
 

Whilst GP believes my DAC supports DSD, MPD doesn’t (as far as I can gather — I think my DAC plays DSD natively with LMS or with a Mac over DOP). 

My DAC isn’t shown on a list that are known to be supported by MPD. 
I have tried using the non-RT kernels, without effect. 


Is there a workaround? 🤔🙏🤞

 

 

DAC: Audio GD R-27 (discrete R2R, natively supports up to DSD512)

USB: Singxer F-1 (XMOS 208) - natively supports up to DSD512

Grazie @stefano_mbp, I should have mentioned that. I appreciate the suggestion. 
Yes, I tried both the native and DOP option, but both gave me the same sampling rate (352kHz). 
 

I am not wanting to engage upsampling, but also tried the various DSD options with SOX and SRC.

where do you see the sampling frequency? you should see it in systeminfo...

if you use dop clearly you will see a PCM frequency...
you should set it to native and check in systeminfo.

example, same DSD64 file:

 

mpd native

Appreciate that Flippo — does that mean that the system info will display what MPD is outputting? I thought it must only show that the DAC is recognised to be able to play DSD). 
 

The screenshot above is from the system info and Rigelian. Rigelian displays all DSD tracks as having lower sampling rates (like DSD64 shown as outputting at 352kHz and I think DSD256 was at 1,408kHz). This would make sense if using DOP, but had it set to ‘native’. So I figured MPD wasn’t supporting my DAC. It sounds good, but it would be reassuring to know I wasn’t downsampling.

I wouldn't trust what you see on Regelian...

You may well be right. The developer (Berrie) seemed confident the output frequency was accurate, suggesting the problem was that MPD didn’t support DSD for my DAC. 
 

I would be curious if anyone using Rigelian notices similar outputs on DSD files.

you still haven't really told me what happens when you impose
MPD BitPerfect > DSD > native
and send in play a dsd

what does system info say?

if in AUDIO CARD you see something like DSD_.....
mpd is playing natively and Regelian gives you some information that I don't know what it means

Apologies — I am slow! 
 I hadn’t realised system info displayed output ... thinking it only showed what GP believed the DAC was capable of... 

 

All good: whilst playing a given track, system info accurately displays original sampling rates for 44.1 or 96kHz (that I tested), as well as displaying “DSD_U32_BE” for DSD. 

 

Case closed. My bad.

you will find two more RT kernels in selectkernel

Late return .. but I crashed my nuc while trying to reconfigure the connection with the Allo.
For the 2 kernels tests, nothing postive.
For the 1st: white noise with 5 seconds of music after one minute, then white noise.
For the 2nd: crash at boot ..

I got everything back and stay on with the non-rt test kernel.


Another question: how to issue ethtool command on startup.
I would take this advice on this website.

https://linoxide.com/linux-how-to/ethtool-command-with-examples/

  

# vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
ONBOOT=yes
ETHTOOL_OPTS="speed 100 duplex full autoneg off"

Is it the good configuration file on GentooPlayer.. ? and what is the editor (not vi) ?

Hi all,

I am curious about RT priority for my USB PCI-E card (Startech PCI-E - ASM 3142 chip based). I would like to ensure it is indeed using RT priority and that the onboard USB ports are not getting RT priority. As well as ensuring I am not sharing the IRQ with other devices unnecessarily.

 

Based on the information below, the DAC is connected and appears to be using IRQ 16, so naturally I believe the PCI-E card must be using IRQ 16:

 

image.thumb.png.a8181e8649276db1880f1e035a3a40fe.png

 

I have updated RT priority config as follows:

 

image.png.b3b7ec1296dc09eaf140c25a60f6380c.png

 

Also, should I have included USB3 instead of i801_smb, given the fact that the Yggdrasil appears to be using USB3 per below?

 

image.thumb.png.d95da5c6c25d1fd2e563d4cee214e584.png

 

A bit confused,

Thanks

I don't understand.

This command works in terminal : 

ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off speed 100 duplex full wol d

 

But not in /etc/conf.d/net

I tried this :

  

ethtool_change_eth0="speed 100 duplex full autoneg off wol d"

or this :

  

ethtool_change_eth0="ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off wol d"

 

like it said here : http://www.marcheimann.de/wiki/doku.php?id=linux:allgemein:ethtool

After reboot :

Option1:

 

Disable hotspot

rc-update del gpireteonline default

 

cd /etc/init.d

ln -s net.lo net.eth0

 

edit file /etc/conf.d/net

add line

ethtool_change_eth0="speed 100 duplex full autoneg off wol d"

 

/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start

rc-update add net.eth0 default

 

----------------------------------------------------
option2:

create file in /etc/local.d
nano /etc/local.d/ethtool.start

 

and in it you write:

 

#!/bin/sh

ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off speed 100 duplex full wol d

 

close and save

 

chmod +x /etc/local.d/ethtool.start

 

reboot
