New VS image with 1.3 working well

[Dennis Conklin]

Status:  installed the new VS image on 3 pi s, including 2 with recommended hardware and 1 with a Focusrite Scarlett 2i4.   All are working well and I didn't have to edit any files for the 2i4, like I had to do with the old version.

Good job, guys,  we don't say that enough!

Might be obvious, but FYI, once you put the new image on, you need to go to jacktrip.local just like when you first setup the device - the web interface will ask to update the device, which you will allow.

Hi. Just to confirm, 2 Pis have a HiFIBerry "tophat" board and one Pi does not? The "plain" Pi is using a Focusrite with a USB connection?

A fellow Jacktrip musician has a standard VS device and would like to use their multiple input audio interface box (there are two musicians at home). I have the picture this is not possible if a HiFIBerry interface board is present?

You CAN use an audio interface with a stock Virtual Studio device, but you have to take the analog output from the audio interface and feed it into the HiFiBerry audio input. You cannot use the USB interface of the audio interface, BUT you will need to plug the USB interface in, so that the audio interface gets power. You will also need to plug your headphones into the HiFiBerry output, rather than the audio interface.

Alternatively, buy another Raspberry Pi (without the HiFiBerry) and use it instead of the stock Virtual Studio device (which you can sell/give to another user). It will also work to disconnect the HiFiBerry from the Raspberry Pi, but this requires taking the Virtual Studio device apart.

We purposely set up the software to use the HiFiBerry if it detects it, because the HiFiBerry interface actually has a little less latency than an audio interface that has to use the USB interface. So you get the best audio and lowest latency if you use the HiFiBerry card to do the analog to digital conversion.
