Hi Miero,
is the I2C connection a hardware problem? So, did I solder the jumpers/resistors on the Cronus wrong? http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/atta...452944-bbb-botic-cape-play-problem-cronus.jpg

Whenever I try to use mpc, all I get is:
Code:
root@botic:~# mpc status
error: Timeout

Hi Miero.
Here the link to the other pictures: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/twisted-pear/274476-bbb-botic-cape-play-problem-2.html#post4491110
Which IC?
Many thanks for your help, I appreciate it very much!
Do I have to wire Hermes' 4-pin ISO-I2C to Buffalo's I2C? Is this not connected directly with the board connectors? Ah, I wish I could look it up in the documentation...

Murdoc: you need to have 4 wire cable from ISO_I2C socket on Hermes-BBB to the I2C socket on the B3. And you have to also remove IC from B3 (see the missing socket).
Only then I2C control of DAC from BBB will work.
But I suggest to wait for botic6. It will work better than botic5 with helper script.

I get:
Code:
speaker-test 1.0.27.2
Playback device is hw:0,0
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz)
Buffer size range from 128 to 32768
Period size range from 8 to 2048
Using max buffer size 32768
Periods = 4
was set period_size = 2048
was set buffer_size = 32768
0 - Front Left
1 - Front Right
Time per period = 5.296016
0 - Front Left
1 - Front Rightand it continues. The DACs lock but I hear nothing from the headphones (which I checked in case there was a fault).
Oddly, I'm now seeing:
Code:
ERROR: Failed to open audio output

So all of your BBB, Hermes-BBB, Cronus and input part of DAC are alive and probably well!
Are you using some form I2C control of DAC or does it have standard firmware/configuration?
Well that's some relief anyway
I have reconnected Volumite (which used to work but now it doesn't).
Code:
root@botic:~# aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Botic [Botic], device 0: external dac-hifi-0 []
Subdevices: 0/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
Code:
root@botic:~# cat /sys/module/snd_soc_botic/parameters/serconfig
MMMM
That is strange, during playback of speaker-test there should be ~1.6V between GND and DCK/D1 and ~0.4V between GND and D2.
Try to stop mpd first by executing:
systemctl stop mpd
These are clock signals. The values you see with a multi-meter will vary depending on the meter you use.

They're hooked up to IVY III balanced outputs, which has always worked nicely.

Show us the result of 'ps -A'
This is every process your software is running. If I try to run speaker-test while squeezelite is also running, I get 'device or resource busy'. ...though MPD is usually not a problem when it runs unneeded. ...still, perhaps there will be a clue, like a duplication, etc.
