Music / Sound (rack version)

[sunnyboy010101]

I guess I'm using the GUI to talk to my rack PiDP-1, but when I try <ctrl>-F1 I see nothing.Is there supposed to be feedback from this keystroke?

I do see the USB music dongle as default sound choice when I click the speaker icon on the VNC display, but get no sound out of the rack speakers. I am using headless HDMI so the only sound should be the rack speakers.

Is there a simple Raspbien test to check if speakers are working? I figure if they aren't working in linux, then they won't be working when I load up the music tapes for the PiDP-1, so best to debug the sound/speakers under linux first.

Thanks,

Open a website with a Musikstream, e.g. a online radiostation or a YouTube site, i tested my audio with a radiostation but i make no music at this time with the pidp1.

 I had to do something to get it working properly, I think it was a boot file config change. Google 'pi 5 no sound with usb dongle' and you'll get a number of hits with suggestions.

The amp and speakers in the rack are pretty feeble, not all that loud. I ended up replacing the super cheap amp with another super cheap amp that had a bit more gain.

Thanks all for the suggestions. Once my new power supply arrives and I figure out how I want to mount the rack, I'll do some playing to get the music to work.

I'm really short of places to put the new rack version. The console could sit nicely on a table, but the rack needs mounting. It can't just be stuck on a wall like a picture - I need to access the switches. So I'm trying to make something work with my 19" tall synth rack but it's challenging as there's no space there either.
