So my Parts Express (band-aid until I decide) regulated ps showed up. It has settings for, among others, 7.5V, 9V and 12V. Do I care which one for the Alix, as they are all within spec?http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=120-536
Can you actually hear a difference using another powersupply?
Well, the Antelope Zodiac Plus Linux-capable DAC is here tomorrow. As i posted back on March 6th, Antelope has a Linux how-to on their website and they list this for MPD servers:You will need to change the following section in your ‘/etc/mpd.conf’:audio_output {type "alsa"name "Zodiac Gold"device "plughw:1,0"auto_resample "no"user_mmap "yes"period_time 0buffer_size 0period_size 0mixer_device "default"mixer_control "PCM"mixer_index "0"}Question: Do I really need to have device as "plughw:1,0" if my Yoyage MPD is up to date (i.e shouldn't I just do "hw:1,0" ) ? Are there any other lines above that are in that same out-of-date category or not relevant for Voyage? I want the Antelope to handle all sample rates and auto switch. I do not upsample, I listen to native sample rates. Thx
EDIT: I changed to hw:0,0 since that's what aplay showed (weird in that i was using Antelope's own user manual guidelines for 1,0) but still nothing
I don't know that file or command, Nick. I simply do "shutdown -r now" in Putty after every change. Is that equivalent?
No need to reboot. As root user type: /etc/init.d/mpd restart
I typed what you said, and got this response:Stopping Music Player Daemon: mpd.Starting Music Player Daemon: mpdline 188: '"' expected (editor note:that's single quote-double quote-single quote)no message buffer overrunsfailed! (editor note: in red letters)
UPDATE: I inserted back in the user_mmap and mixer lines. MPD restarts fine. As soon as i try to include period_time 0 (now with one space between time and 0) the restart throws up again and says "expecting quotes", yet the MPD config wikis never show these lines with quotes. So still wondering what they do, when implemented correctly. I will re-listen tonight with the new mixer and user_mmap lines added.
