Today I tried adding a Phoenix USB Solo microphone to my new diskless MD but it has not been detected. Further, the installation is also not working on my hybrid/core, though it has previously under 14.04. I think the problem is as follows:
root@moon82:/usr/pluto/bin# cat SoundCards_Setup_PhoenixUSB.sh
#!/bin/sh
##
## Setup Script for the Phoenix Solo USB microphone && Duet USB speaker/microphone.
##
## TODO: Store volume values in Device's DD
##
## MDs AudioSettings parameter isn't used at all. This is a
## completely separate device from the main sound in an MD.
CARDID=$(aplay -l | grep Phnx | awk '{ print $2 }' | cut -d':' -f1)
amixer -c "$CARDID" sset "PCM",0 50 >/dev/null
amixer -c "$CARDID" sset "Speaker",0 44 >/dev/null
amixer -c "$CARDID" sset "Mic",0 50 >/dev/null
root@moon82:/usr/pluto/bin#
The script looks for a soundcard with "Phnx" in the description that is returned by aplay. However, the card returns "AK4571" as shown below.
root@moon82:/usr/pluto/bin# aplay -l

Should I just modify the script to trigger on "AK4571?" Have I found a bug? How could the value returned by the card have changed? I thought that this was in the firmware of the usb device. This mic has worked for me previously.
Comments welcome.

If you're not running 1404 what version are you running? I assume you're trying to use it for an md phone? Lmce HAL detects mine fine but I'm not using it for md phone atm. It looks like the naming has changed. Please give me some more details about your installing. Thanks.

I am running 1404. This mic has worked previously but I am unsure if that was since my last install, which was in August or September. Below is an excerpt from Home -> Advanced -> Software Versions in webadmin.
lmce-core = 2.0.0.47.201602071815+c31bc44f
lmce-core-locator = 2.0.0.47.0~lmce2~trusty1
lmce-diskless-tools = 2.0.0.47.201611272017+a7c10426
lmce-game-db = 2.0.0.47.16010131782
lmce-hybrid = 2.0.0.47.15121531757
lmce-install-scripts = 2.0.0.47.201602141633+a332f49a
lmce-launch-manager = 2.0.0.47.201602240724+a84db86f
I would like to use the mic with the orbiter phone eventually but my immediate goal is to just enable intercom between my MDs.

Thinking about it, I followed the directions for diskless MD install a few weeks ago, using:
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
Could something have changed with the updates?
-
Have you already tried modifying the script?
-Thom
-
Not yet. But I would be happy to do that if it is advised. I was unsure if there might also be a dependency on the string returned by soundcard/USB detection downstream somewhere.
CDM

try it.
-Thom

No luck. The modified script is below. I modified it on the diskless workstation and then tried reloading, rebooting and re-inserting the microphone in the USB port.

Okay, I'll get one of my microphones back out and diagnose/debug.
Thanks for what you've done, so far. :)

Thom,
The thanks go to you, in this case and for all of your contributions.

I have registered the issue in github. Ticket number is 2744.

If the device was responding as 'AK4571' then the below script should be working. Please post the output of 'aplay -l' and 'aplay -L'. Shouldn't be any need to wait for a dev to test here.

Phenigma,
Requested outputs are below. I tried running the script again manually, without an error in the shell or any messages from LMCE on the orbiter. The device is also absent from the devices tree in web admin for the MD that it is connected to.
Should I try modifying the file on the core/hybrid? Would that make a difference on the MD? Would it be worthwhile trying to install on the core/hybrid?

k, your script should be working. What is the output of the following:
aplay -l | grep AK4571 | awk '{ print $2 }' | cut -d':' -f1
The next question is: are you sure that this is the issue? There are other things involved in the setup of the Phoenix. This script does not do the 'detection' portion of adding the hardware, it simply configures it after it has been detected.
J.

Phenigma,
I affirm that this may not be the issue, though the fact that the device is now listed as AK4571 would break the original configuration script. Perhaps the name change has affected something else. I would be happy to follow up on any clues that you can provide.
The output of the command that you suggested is below:

So that's returning the correct value, that script should be working with your change. We need to see if lsusb output matches the ids in the database, again this is working here for me but i have a duet which will have a different USB id's. What is the output of 'lsusb -l'?

lsusb did not like the -l option. Here is default output as well as what -t returns. I have a usbuirt and a thumb drive plugged in in addition to the phoenix.

Usb id is correct,please check that it's not been added to the ignore list. Advanced configuration unknown devices in webadmin. Make sure that the HAL device is not disabled and that it is running. Then watch the dcerouter log and the HAL log while pluging in and out the solo. It should show immediately in the logs and give a pop up on orbiters.

And check if you have a solo device in your device tree on that md

I have also just tried unboxing a brand new solo mic and plugging it into my system, in order to try a previously unseen device. Same result.
The tail of dcerouter.log shows activity related to plugging in the device, but it still has not registered and there are no notifications on the orbiters. This is shown below:

A screenshot of my advanced->configuration->unknown devices page is attached. I cannot correlate it with the device information in lsusb. Perhaps you can help.
Also, I checked the HAL devices for both the core/hybrid and diskless MD and the disabled box is unchecked for both.
Finally there are no solo mics in my devices trees for either the hybrid or MD.

Ok, so the device detection is working, something is deciding not to add the device. For some reason.

We may need to wipe the pnpqueue table in the database, if the device is in there it may not recreate it, iirc
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
-
OK. Please suggest the right sql commands. Will this trigger detection for all of my currently installed devices?
CDM
-
I'm still pondering. It will trigger detection of anything not in unknown devices, but existing devices will just be detected and then be happy. It's been a while since I touched all that code so I'm trying to recall anything else that may affect this part of the process. Everything up to creating the device is working... The only reason it didn't create devices is if they're already dealt with, which pnpqueue table tracks...

Launch mysql from the command line and 'delete from PnpQueue' should do it, the table name needs to match.

If removal of the records is the thing that helps,
TRUNCATE from PnpQueue
might be the better option.
-
Still no luck with the microphone, though it did ask about some other devices that I had previously told it to ignore. I extrapolated your recommendations somewhat in terms of the exact sql command, but I think I did what you suggested. A transcript is below:

It should be pretty quick to pop up, it also goes away quickly. Big Q is did it show in your device tree.

There is no reference to the microphone in the devices tree. See screenshot attached.

My bad. I uploaded the wrong screenshot by mistake. See attached.

Could you open the branch under Onscreen Orbiter, please.

See the screenshot. The mic is still plugged in and I have reloaded since.

Microphones are now working!! Darkwizard pointed me to the sound card selection for the orbiter phones in webadmin. The Solo mics appeared in the drop down. I selected them manually and did a quick reload.
As for the ticket, the script in /usr/pluto/bin definetly needs to be changed in order to work correctly. Not sure if there is anything else needed for PnP.
Nonetheless, I am good for now. Thanks again to Darkwizard.
