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:

Code Select

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.

Code Select

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.

Code Select

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:

Code Select

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade


Could something have changed with the updates?

Have you already tried modifying the script?

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.

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.

amixer -c "$CARDID" sset "PCM",0 50 >/dev/null
amixer -c "$CARDID" sset "Speaker",0 44 >/dev/null

Okay, I'll get one of my microphones back out and diagnose/debug.

Thanks for what you've done, so far. :)

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:

Code Select

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.

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:
