Thanks for the link. I am trying to get DRC-FIR to work at the driver level and one of the things I am currently working on is automating the phase adjustment of each driver so they align in unison over the XO regions as an entire system. I am attempting to modify DRC-FIR to use the individual driver XO FIRs as the correction solution's "target models" and then output the composite of the individual XOs with their respective solution for so they can be directly dropped into CamillaDSP. Vanilla DRC-FIR works at the full-range speaker level, thus can't uniquely address individual drivers in the XO regions. Any "correction" it applies is applied to both drivers even if one driver is correct and the other isn't. DRC-FIR appears to assume analog/passive XOs, not addressing digital XOs.
From the thread you posted:
"... The aim is therefore to first optimize the phase behavior of each driver in the frequency range intended for it. ..."
This is exactly what I am trying to automate now.

"... In general, one can first postulate that a 1:1 reproduction of a natural sound event via a loudspeaker requires that amplitudes are reproduced unchanged and that phases do not rotate, which lead to time errors during reproduction. Unfortunately, the reality is different. It's still amazing what the brain forgives. I'm often humbled by how well we can listen to music, despite all the inaccuracies and negative influences, and how rarely anyone runs away screaming. Of course, the exceptions are those who hear with non-aligned silver crystals in the DC line of the power supply. ..."
Yes! He has a decent sense of humour. Sand this one is humourfully aimed at the partially quite weird subjectivists posting theirs exciting findings into aktives-hoeren.de.
New preview release, v1.0.0-rc2!
Get it from here: https://github.com/HEnquist/camilladsp/releases/tag/v1.0.0-rc2
Changes since rc1 are bugfixes in the Alsa backend, and improvements in CoreAudio backend.
For some reason the cross-compilation job for aarch64 failed, so for now there is no prebuilt binary for aarch64. There has probably been some change in cargo or the cross tool. I'll try to get that running as soon as possible.

Are you using the gui? If yes it's better to wait, there are some changes that cause trouble in the gui (there will be updated versions of everything for v1.0.0). If no, sure just go ahead.
Hello and sorry if it has been already discussed. Has someone managed to build a sort of standalone raspberry pi/camilladsp dsp processor with a usb card (preferably cheap) doing spdif in and out simultaneously?
I have a sound blaster x-fi HD that has toslink in and out, but alsa does not seem to recognise the optical in (it does show mic, line and phonograph in but not spdif/optical).
I have looked at the hifiberry digi+ i/o but seems that everyone who tried to do simultaneously in and out didn't manage...
Any recommendations for a cheap usb card proven to work? (Optical in necessary. As it is to use with my tv, it will be constantly at 48khz)
Thanks!

Ad X-Fi HD USB: what alsa device did you use? IMO the SPDIF devices are hw:XXX,1 (device ID 1).
RC2 is running fine on my CM4 USB Gadget, no drops so far. Load and latency also fine. In the eventing I will test also the Windows source. Thanks Henrik and Pavel.
I wasn't able to get any sound no matter what device i tried. Also spdif/optical didn't show up in alsamixer, while the other inputs did.
I am very newbie, could perfectly doing something wrong.
Were you able to use the x-fi hd toslink in?
Thanks for your help
MRamone:
I do not have this device, but people generally report it works at basic samplerates.
Please post output of commands 'aplay -l', 'arecord -l' and 'amixer -c YOUR_CARD_ID contents'

Basic sample rate is not an issue, i will only use it for the tv. Will post those outputs asap, thanks

MRamone: Thanks. IMO either hw:HD,1 or hw:HD,2 could be the SPDIF output (aplay -v -D plughw:HD,1 some.wav), and hw:HD,1 could be SPDIF input (arecord -v -D plughw:HD,1 outputting to the terminal).
working!
seems that toslink input is device hw:HD,1 and toslink output is device hw:HD,1 (being respectivelly HD,0 line in and HD,0 heaphones out). I finally have my "standalone toslink in > dsp > toslink out", will be very useful in my set up, thanks a lot!

I have some problems getting camilladsp with the alsa-cdsp plugin to run smoothly.
here are my configs...

camilladsp.config.template:
https://pastebin.com/it4EgnZ7
and the camilladsp logfile:
https://pastebin.com/JL4sbjh3
and finally the console output from aplay -D camilla 1.wav (16 bit, 44.1kHz file):
I only played a few seconds, the XRUNs occurr right away. Don't think it should be a hardware problem, at least the machine is plenty fast with a AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX and 32GB of RAM, it's the same behaviour on the internal soundcard of the laptop as well. Also tried with rate adjust enabled and Async resampler, all the same.
camilladsp version is the latest 1.0.0-rc2...
