Problem/solution with CM6206 hardware volume control.
I am currently using a cheap CM6206 (LX?) based USB 5.1 sound card. (I envisage setting up an active crossover using it.) It's possible I will look inside to confirm the chip but at the moment it's new and I'm clumsy so I don't want to break it.
MoOde connects to the "PCM" mixer control. This seems to be the TOSLINK digital output.
Connecting mpd to the "Speaker" mixer control works fine.
NOTE: I had to turn off "logarithmic curve" in the "customise" screen. (my previous I2S DAC required the logarithmic curve).
These things are stupid cheap on eBay. I got one for less than £7, delivered, from within the UK.
Also, I'd seen an article online about running 96K output through these things (claimed spec is 48K). Certainly, mpd managed to run 96000:16 through it.

CONVOLVING
Hi, maybe this is interesting:
ConvoFS is a small Linux virtual file system sitting in between a music repository (either on the local disk or mounted from a NAS share) and a media server like Minimserver/Logitech Media Server (LMS). ConvoFS intercepts any access to FLAC media files and – using brutefir – transparently offers read-only convolved versions.
Tested environment: ConvoFS should work with audio renderers like Linn, Auralic, Lumin and JPLAY. I use AudioLense for measuring room acoustics and generating filters. ConvoFS also works with Acourate and REW generated filters, but definitely not with Dirac.
Technical digression: For the technically minded and audiophiles, it may be worth mentioning that ConvoFS presents any FLAC file as uncompressed (verbatim format ) 24 bit FLAC regardless of the compression level / resolution of the source file. The source file is naturally not touched.
License: ConvoFS is open source (GPL). Please refer to the ConvoFS distribution / web interface for details.
Development status: Barring installer errors that may have survived testing on a clean server, ConvoFS is production ready and stable. I use it on a permanent basis.
Hardware/software requirements: ConvoFS is developed and tested with Ubuntu Linux 14.04 LTS. The installer will refuse to run if it detects a non-debian basedsystem. Given sufficient Linux skills you should, however, be able install it on other Linux flavors. There’s one known user running it on a Raspberry Pi2 running Debian 7.8.
Enough babbling, I want it: you can download the newest version HERE:

Might be your wifi is stressed. If you can put your NASPi on Ethernet straight off your router, that will show you whether it is Pi performance or wifi.
When you have two wifi devices sharing data, it has to transit wifi four times: player to router, router to NAS, NAS to router, router to player. Wifi has to work sequentially, one device at a time, including all the other devices on your wireless network.
Lots of routers aren't capable of handling the traffic, especially the cheap-*** units usually provided by your ISP.
If you are having wifi issues, a decent second hand router doesn't cost much on eBay (or similar). 802.11n is fast enough for most situations, but 802.11ac or better is always going to offer more performance going forward.
If you think the NAS is starving the player of content, bang the buffer size (in mpd config panel) up to 8192 or 16384.
Pi3 is faster, with a decent wifi adapter, which is always good - the answer is always 'MOAR POWER', whatever the question
You don't say how your NAS is attached. If it's via wifi, try hard wiring to Ethernet and see if your problem still exists. If it does, try connecting the Pi to Ethernet. If either of those makes your problem go away, it could be your wifi is underpowered/oversubscribed.
My son's setup was working fine when he was on the air base, but when he moved to an apartment in downtown Calgary, it all went to **** with no change to the Moode config. I teleremoted in and saw his building was completely inundated with competing wifi SSIDs. Moved him to the least populous channels and his problem went away.
Not a problem for us in rural NZ... I can only see one other network, the one I set up for my neighbour
concerning the problem I have with MINIDLNA (Moode 2.6) not seeing the files on the USB stick (in contrast to Moode, which plays the files just fine)
I SSH´ed to the log file:
several warning and error messages, could this be the cause?
Thanks,
Jan

Tim,
The instructions from Jean-Francois for installing sc2mpd were :-
Create and edit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/upmpdcli.list and add the following lines:
deb http://www.lesbonscomptes.com/upmpdcli/downloads/debian/ unstable main
deb-src http://www.lesbonscomptes.com/upmpdcli/downloads/debian/ unstable main
Then:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sc2mpd
Thanks for all your work on Moode. I particularly appreciated being able to set up my Pi3 over the wireless connection.
Paul
Dear Moode users!
I'm still looking for sy who solved text displaying on 2x40 LCD screen.
I have LCD display with serial interface , I know the ports to use, but I need
the script to display the vol. level, and title, name of radio station.
Is there anybody here, who use this solution?
John

Hi Zoot
Thank you, blessed to be in quiet place ! I am soon gonna visit you in NZ, heard it is beautiful
The NAS is connected via ethernet to the router, and the router via ethernet to the RPI.
I did increase the buffer size to 16k and % buffer before playing to 30% but no result. The USB current x2 is set to on (the WaveIO board is USB powered), the USB UAC2 as well. I tried to insert a powered USB Hub... No success, I am lost

Hi!
Can u have any idea to solve this problem in MPD?

Hi,
Confirmed after preliminary tests. The change from sync to async yielded almost 5MB/sec Wifi --> Eth
Will do more stress testing to make sure all is good and if so, this change will be in 2.5
Your efforts to find a fix are much appreciated!

After installed v2.6, copying files from win 10 machine to an external USB drive connected to Raspberry Pi 2 is extremely slow again. What can I do to increase the copying speed? I cannot find /etc/usbmount/usbmount.conf any more.
Hi,
Moode 2.6 uses udisks-glue USB auto-mounter. The config file is:
/etc/udisks-glue.conf

Hi,
Attached are some screen shots of a new in-place software updater that will be included in Moode 2.7. The updater can also be bootstrap loaded into Moode 2.6 using a bit of SSH.
This initial version provides a mechanism for updating Moode that can quickly deliver bug fixes and code updates thus eliminating the need to install new image. Future enhancements to the updater can provide migration of settings, sql and complex OS changes.
