Care to share? What commands, what firmware (link?)?   

The firmware for Allo's Piano 2.1, 2.1-mode can be found at:

https://github.com/allocom/piano-firmware

My settings for the Piano 2.1 are as follows (the Dual-Mono-mode does not require the above firmware):

bash:


# Added simple test to detect if the Piano 2.1 is used

if grep -q PianoDACPlus /proc/asound/cards; then

  amixer sset "Subwoofer" 207

  amixer sset "Master" 207

  amixer sset "Digital" 207

  amixer sset "Dual Mode" "Dual-Mono"

fi

The above are also the default settings as mentioned in the Allo Piano 2.1 documentation:
https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/share/..._link_copy

Somehow those default settings are not used in LibreELEC (I think wrongly set by the default start script as mentioned by HiassofT). When using Raspbian there is no need to run the above commands at all to get the default settings.

People that have the Piano 2.1 should add the following to their config.txt:

dtoverlay=allo-piano-dac-plus-pcm512x-audio

People that have the Piano 2.1 + Kali Reclocker should add the following to their config.txt:

dtoverlay=allo-piano-dac-plus-pcm512x-audio,glb_mclk

Note: With the recent Linux kernels the Kali Reclocker sometimes outputs noise. This is solved by forcing the output to 16 or 32bit:
https://volumio.org/forum/kali-reclocker...t9828.html

Note 2: The Kali Reclocker adds a delay to the sound that is different depending on the played audio/video. I found a solution (just as a reference for people that find this post):

Please tell us which card you are using and which mixer control should be adjusted.

Post the output of

Code:

aplay -l
amixer

I noticed that the script to initialize the audio card mixers sets a lot of controls to 100% instead of 0dB - which can result in clipping if the maximum value is greater than 0dB.

Apparently it thinks that a game rom is a video and tries to play it. Garbear's his settings below fixed it:


Games play well, but there is still stutter that is solved by pausing the game and then resuming.

Another question. Is there a way to disable the startup animation? I only want to see the LibreELEC boot logo.

This is a known issue with LE9 at this time - we're very close to a solution, hopefully in a few more days it will appear in a test build.

ok Thanks you for your reponse
i stop to search au solution

I have some strange lines in kernel log.

Anything to worry about?

Could you create an issue here: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues
as this is a kernel issue rather than kodi/LE issue.

Include link to your kernel log, and describe if you have anything unusual in network setup (e.g. VPN).

Did you find anything in the logs that I posted that would cause the freeze when it drops to about 60mb of free memory. I tried to use plugins like embycon to play the movies and tvshows with nothing in the kodi database and it does not run out of memory. The free memory hovers around 150mb and 250mb after 9 days.

Hi Milhouse,

sorry, there is a little bug in #824:

In system / audio is no  adjustment  for ALSA: snd_rpi_hifiberry_digi, S/PDIF.
It appears only ALSA: snd_rpi_hifiberry_digi, Analog

I'm back to #818 and sound works in DD and DTS (multichannel).

Tank You for Your Work

Harald
