External DAC

[james.irwin]

Hi Lukasz, 
what wifi module where you using? The longsleep repo has a few drivers for them and I enabled whatever was there. While building Volumio, firmware is being added for realtek and others. I'm not claiming all available dongles will work (they don't), need to check which ones I used.
As for the hickups, it is known to happen with some platforms while volumio is still indexing the library.
Your still have that issue?
Glad the connectors have been turned horizontally on the production model.

Hi Ge,

I tried thee wifi dongles in total: one old belkin and two no-brand dongles with a realtek chips. I will look further into this too. 

Regarding the hitching, I will need to play some music today and see - I heard two 2-3sec dropouts during ~2hrs of listening yesterday evening.



Hi,
Thanks to all involved for getting this going!

I have a wifi issue also, not sure if others also have the same problem. I am running a 2GB pine64 board with an externally powered usb port with a dragonfly black USB DAC. Wifi is PINE64 WIFI 802.11BGN/BLUETOOTH 4.0 MODULE. The wifi worked fine running a debian image, but doesn't running a volumio image (volumio-2.063-2017-02-06-pine64.img).  Volumio boots OK, sets up hotspot OK, one can connect to the hotspot using browser interface on a phone/tablet OK and can play music. However, if trying to change to local wifi network the wifi connectivity fails. DMSEG output below. The error message that jumps out is OnDeAuth(wlan0) reason=15.......

best wishes,
James
