Hi
Would that board bebable to decode 5.1 surround sound from spdif and use the 8 analog output with active crossover for loudspeaker?

Hello!
I think you can if you use the Homecinema7.1 plugin.

Hello,
After many years I've finally built my freeDSP aurora with its case and unfortunetely it seems something is wrong.
It's a pre-assembled PCB I've purchased during the kickstarter in 2019.
So when I turn on the power, the wifi appears and I can connect to it, I've got an IP (192.168.5.2) and I'm able to ping 192.168.5.1. nmap is also telling me that http port (80) is open. But for some reason when trying to go on http://192.168.5.1 I've got no answer from the board, the browser is continously loading. I've tried with Safari & Firefox, also curl and nc… same result. I've tried unplugging all addons and kept only wifi antenna and PSU plugged in, with no success. I've checked the PSU voltage, it is supplying 11,99V to the board.
Also, I don't know if it's something to worry about but it seems that components on the board get quickly warm (30 to 50°C).
I've running out of ideas to solve this… Any idea someone?
Quentin

I have encountered the same issue, you need to opload new(er) firmware. Contact DSPverden please.
Glad to see the problem has already been encountered and solved, thanks !
As neither can I can access webota through port 9999, I suppose I have to do it with the USB process.

So it worked, I was able to flash the firmware, upload a plugin and configure wifi, then I turned it off.
Before rebooting, I wired back all components : addon B, volume potentiometer, fan & temperature, rotary encoder, IR receiver and power led.
Turning it back on, I heared a pop (not that loud and no smoke), not sure what it was nor if it was really coming from the board or not… The fan was spinning, the power led (on X106) was not lit up (never saw it on) and I didn't see the board on my network.
Now I hear a whistling when turning the board on, and I'm not able to flash it (esptool says incorrect header).
So it seems that something really went wrong, I've trippled check the wiring and I cannot figure out what was it. There is one cable I'm not sure of how to plug correctly : from board A of addonB to X102 ; I've plugged it without thinking too much in a way that seems natural but after checking I cannot see in the documentation if it should be on this way or the other.
I didn't see any burnt capacitor / resistance.
I'm not sure what to do next…I'm in despair that I screwed it up after so much work on it 🙁

I have this issue right now as well, but it was already on 2.1.3 and upgrading to 2.2.2 didn't help things any. I'm using USB connection from my PC and have all 8 channels set for either USB 1 or USB 2, and none of the analog outputs seem to have any output on them whatsoever.I had a similar problem, but upgrading the firmware to 2.1.3 and reloading the programs resolved the problem.
Did you folks get that firmware issue resolved? I am considering building a couple Aurora PCBAs but I'm concerned about the firmware for the XMOS and ESP32.
@pmenduik
Im giving up on the project, I build 3x Aurora and Ive got so many problems....
Im always having shorts, weird behaviour etc.
I got the ESP 32 running, but the XMOS with the USB Connection will just not run.
Its not necessary firmware related.
But im finally over it, trying to get it to work for over half a year.
Maybe its
just me....

@Nicde Wow 3 boards, you are persistent.
I am surprised that you're having trouble with the XMOS USB interface. There are a lot of boards using it.
After finding almost no new discussions about Aurora, I am now thinking running CamillaDSP on a RPI4 and design a PCB with a ESS9039PRO DAC. That will provide a reliable ethernet connection and a local PiCorePlayer. I will likely put a ES9822PRO ADC on the board for an aux input.

I have given up on my Aurora as well. It might be that I would eventually be able to make it work, but there is too much troubleshooting needed that is beyond my comfort level.
It's a shame that project activity just stopped. I was hoping Aurora would have been a good replacement for the DIY miniDSP boards. It seems like they have adopted the philosophy of "have it our way"
I've finally fixed my ESP32 (unsoldered, bought a new one and soldered the new one). I'm bad at soldering, it was a mess… Components are very close all together, I've burn/melt plastic connectors aside from the chip… I've should have used kapton film.
Anyway, ESP32 is working and I've managed to flash it (2.2.2), I'm using the 8ch plugin, but it seems I've got no ouput on the XLR out (Addon B).

I've checked again my soldering and fixed it. I'm glad it works, I'd almost lost hope !
I've still some things to fix, like the rotary encoder not working for some reason, but it's making progress !

Mine form the Kickstarter stills works great. USB audio via ASIO on Win10 sometimes stopps working, but i guess thats on Windoof.
Using it with Voicemeeter Banana via USB to quickly switch between main speakers with FIR room eq (adjustable gain) and headphones (fixed gain, using poti on hpa). Best setup I have ever used!
Also analog in on another preset to relay l+r from my Denon AVR when watching movies.
