Moode Audio Player for Raspberry Pi

[TimCurtis]

Be WARNED:

Any ~preN package in our repo is strictly a work in progress and not stable code. You might experience breakage for example full volume, volume not working, audio output not working, features not working, etc.

Always have a down stream volume control and keep it at a low level!

There is a thread in our Forum dedicated to upcoming 9 series. Please report any issues with the ~preN code in that thread.

Thx
-Tim

Hello
I'm building my Moode Audio Player using this hardware:

• Raspberry Pi CM4 compute module 2GB
• CM4 IO Board
• HifiBerry DAC+
• Waveshare 7.9" DSI LCD/Touch screen
• Waveshare PCIe to USB 3.2 Extension board.

So far I was able to start the Moode image and configure all to work as expected.
The only left problem is the touch screen not working correct. The scale of the pointer in Y direction does not match the screen resolution. X works perfect, in Y direction the pointer reaches the bottom of screen faster than touch position.
I invested several hours to find a solution without success. Even the tool xinput_calibrate could not help.
See video in link below to show what's happen.

Who can help?

Hi Felix,
I think that it is better if you open a thread in the moOde forum, where there are a lot of people could help you.
Best regards,
Francesco

Thanks Francesco, i did already

I posted a new Video for those using a Protodac with a FifoQ7 by Ian on my Gabster Chanel where I talk about my way of connecting them together without the use of the GPIO but using external 5V and UFL connectors for I2s signal. It may be helpful for anyone using this Dac combination. Feel free to share.

Hi,

moOde 9.0.0 is available in the Media Player OS section of the Raspberry Pi Imager or as a direct download at https://moodeaudio.org. Visit the Forum for more information https://moodeaudio.org/forum/showthread.php?tid=6484&pid=54308#pid54308

@TimCurtis Will moOde 8 continue to receive security updates or should everyone move to 9?

 

[TimCurtis]

There is no bandwidth in our project to do any back-ports or updates to moode 8 Bullseye but you can always selectively apply RaspiOS Bullseye security updates and hope for the best.

Hi! Tim,

I downloaded the moOde 9 image file from the official website and started it in Pi 5;

But I cannot enter the various settings of config.

For example, audio cannot enter the setting USB DAC...

Is the system still unstable?

 

[fdealexa]

Hi Lerictpe168,
For security season, from a while, the system has to be "prepared" to run. It is recomended to prepared the microSD with the raspberry tool : raspberry pi imager".
More details information are reported in the Setup guide.
Best regards,
Francesco

Hi!fdealexa,

Thank you for your explanation and information,

Didn’t expect that porting moOde to Pi 5 would be so troublesome? !

Then I’ll use Pi 5 to play HQPe → DSD256 or HQPlayer NAA

The sound sounds better than bi-perfect!

Hi,

moOde 9.0.1 is available in the Media Player OS section of the Raspberry Pi Imager or as a direct download at https://moodeaudio.org. Visit the Forum for more information https://moodeaudio.org/forum/showthread.php?tid=6530&pid=54711#pid54711

Hi, @TimCurtis

any plan to support Hifiberry DAC8x?
I am interested in 8-way Camilla-DSPed for an active-X-over speaker system.
Thanks

 

[TimCurtis]

What do you mean by "support hifiberry dac 8x"?

 

[carstenan]

I mean: (moOde ver 9, hardware I2S support for Hifiberry "DAC8x", which is a 8-channels I2S DAC hat).
In the "Named I2S device", I can not find the corresponding option.

 

[TimCurtis]

The challenge is that there's almost no info at hifiberry on the device for example: dac chip model, bit depth/sample rate support, hardware volume support, alsa configs, and most importantly usage examples. Maybe there is something in their support Forum?

You can always use the "DT overlay" option in moode Audio Config to at least get the driver for the board loaded.

Suddenly, when I connect to Bluetooth headphone, the web homepage stuck in "Bluetooth Active / Bluetooth Control / Audio Info". I'm not able to do any further control (e.g. play audio, etc.).

When I disconnect bluetooth headphone as renderer, everything is fine.

I am using moOde 9.0.1. However, it once works, any idea how to fix this? Thx!~

 

[TimCurtis]

In Bluetooth Control screen, Options, choose "Bluetooth speaker" instead of "Local audio"
