Hello hello
I m setting up the ultra++ with my pi zero streaming software.
When I try to install I get some errors (see below)
Do you think this is because I’m running Arch?
In that case, is there a workaround?
Thank you!
Grant

Please reboot your raspberry pi to apply all settings
Enjoy!

Again I don’t know if this will work, but you can give it a try.
Run this:
Code: Select all pacman -Sy dkms git libasound2-pluginspacman -Sy autoconf automake clang make libtool fftw alsa-lib llvm-libs glibc gcc i2c-tools
Then comment out the lines 21, 22 and 23 from install.sh, it should look like this:
Code: Select all ...# apt update# apt-get -y install raspberrypi-kernel-headers raspberrypi-kernel # apt-get -y install dkms git i2c-tools libasound2-plugins...
Then run install.sh again.

This addresses my issue.
I tried that but didn’t quite get there.
I got this:
cd WM8960-Audio-HAT
[locusonus@streambox WM8960-Audio-HAT]$ sudo ./install.sh
[sudo] password for locusonus:
Error! The module/version combo: wm8960-soundcard-1.0
is not located in the DKMS tree.
DKMS: add completed.
Error! echo

You can use the --kernelsourcedir option to tell DKMS where it’s located.

I there are suggestions about what I should try, that would be very helpful
Thanks

Hi Grant,
-Everything that works on the RPI4 is also working on the Zero
-Never tried Arch with the ULTRA++
but the source you are mentionning is saying it recently supported:
You have to insert this entry in /boot/config.txt:
dtoverlay=wm8960-soundcard
and snd-soc-wm8960 will be loaded by udev
You will find other info in /boot/overlays/README
A workaround is to do not install the drivers of the WM8960 and just send the I2C initilization commands when you boot the system, this is what we are doing for Volumio, this will also be applicable to Arch:
Hi
Thanks
It seems the drivers are indeed installed now with an update.
Good news for sure.
So I am thinking driver installation is no longer necessary for many users…
My ongoing issue is to enable plug in power on the mic input.
This is my main interest in the card, and I have silence in both channels (with interference in the L).
Any advice on enabling macbias would be a big help
Thanks
Grant
I followed robertfoster’s comment on AUR (en) - seeed-voicecard-dkms-git as mentioned by Grant above added the dtoverlay in the config.txt on an Arch linux. Sounds like the system recognized the sound card as aplay listed it below.
I got following message when I tried to use aplay to open a wav file. I didn’t hear anything from the speaker although I didn’t try a headphone. I think it’s an error.
