In Topic: sound settings alsa settings pre defined cards external amlifier

As expected a clone box.
But nevertheless it won’t work. You cannot add an external soundcard. WanWizard already told you 2 times.
And as it’s a clone you won’t get any support from VU. And even if it would be a genuine box it is quite old and don’t expect any new features to be added to it.

 

I did not ask support of unknown vu.

"Clone"" is a term for a housewife.

Also explained above: open pli is clone of enigma2 according to your appreciations.

I use open pli 4 for 3 years and ask a question to engineers here.

In total: useless answer of an engineers: you stated clear foolish regarding impossibility to set up external card (DAC) in open pli 4 (enigma2).

I will not purchace product with open pli.

The primary config in my OPEN PLI 4 device

etc/asound.config 

pcm.!default {

    type plug
    slave.pcm "hw:0"
}
ctl.mixer0 {
    type hw
    card 0
}

2. The hardware doesn't use ALSA, it simply doesn't work.

 

If you knew what box it is?

With alsa it is the case that it is usually built via config.
However, no values ​​are set.
This is possible but already.
If one were to pretend values ​​there, then one would have the possibility, as I understand it, of adapting them afterwards.

 

 

1. I want to get
- video signal from the receiver (Enigma2 / ) to the monitor, not TV, via HDMI cable,
and
sound signal from the receiver (Enigma2) via the amplifier or via DAC  connector

This is normal. The audio you can take from s/pdif (RCA or TosLink, if your STB have it). Note however, if you connect the spdif signal to a DAC (not a AVR, Home Cinema Receiver). The dac most likely only can handle PCM stereo sound format. For example if you watch a channel that sends out the audio in AC3 format. The DAC will not give you sound, or you might get ugly noise. In OpenPLi it is a setting called downmix (or similar), This change the sound format to normal stereo pcm (it also downmix multichannel to 2ch). This setting is available both on a global level and a per TV-channel level. Also a setting which says that one have higher priority, over the other setting. One of these settings you can simple see by pressing the Audio button on the remote.

 

Gentlemen,

 

Thank you for your attempts to answer, but you did not make the general sense:

OPEN PLI is a custom made system, which use elements of enigma2 system.

Both sytems do not have the relevant published standards, which can allow the user to undertsand the essence : what is OPEN PLI at all.

I refer to version 4 of Openpli - the product which is not defined, not explained to any one in a plain engineering language.

OPEN PLI is soft without standards and without tech descripton for end user and for a manufacturer.

Do you understand ?  

 

HARDWARE:

The box of my product shows : VU SOLO PRO3.

It  related the marketing of manufacturer but, not to open pli  - your sytem.

So all explanations can be given by simple decsription, which is not relevent to standard.

 

OPEN PLI 4 after commands: opkg update && opkg upgrade

 

Goal
I want to get
- video signal from the receiver (Enigma2 / ) to the monitor, not TV, via HDMI cable,
and
- sound signal from the receiver (Enigma2) via the amplifier or via DAC  connector 
 
There is no description of enigma2 commands and configuartion files.
After DAC is connected via SPDIF in Open Pli recever, the OPEN PLI 4 does not see and can not identify DAC.
I can connect the amplifier to DAC and to speakers in addition. 
 
Commands:
opkg install alsa- utils
opkg install alsa- lib
aplay -l , response: no sound device

lshw : no such command

lspci : no pci device (or similar response)

 
I made the configuaration as follows:
 
etc/asound.config :
pcm.!spdif {
     type hw
     card 0
     device 0
}
pcm.!default {
     type plug
     slave {
           pcm "spdif"
     }
}
  
-- EOF --
 
Open PLI commands and responces:
aplay -l : no sound device
lshw : no such command
lspci : no pci device 
 
   
Questions to ENIGMA2 ENGINEERS:
Which files and which exact lines can be configured in addition in order to see the connected  DAC (external sound card) ?

The box doesn't use ALSA, video and audio is entirely processed in hardware. All audio and all video is active on all outputs, at all times.

 

You say you want to look for another box. Most don't provide analogue out anymore. Why don't you use the digital out to connect to your amplifier? That is what it is there for? 

Clear. Done.

 

Due to over emotions of the users, I repeat the primary problem:-

 

Problem description:

1. I want to get

- video signal from the receiver (Enigma2 / ) to the monitor, not TV, via HDMI cable,

and

sound signal from the receiver (Enigma2) via the amplifier or via DAC  connector 

 

2. There is no description of enigma2 commands and of "guides" for the separtrate configuration of ALSA given by Open PlI engineers.

OPEN PLI is enigma2 based system. So I can use ALSA for my configuration also: opkg install alsa-util  is it correct?

After DAC is connected via SPDIF in Open Pli, the OPEN PLI 4 does not see or can not identify DAC:

 

configuaration: etc/asound.config :
pcm.!spdif {
     type hw
     card 0
     device 0
}
pcm.!default {
     type plug
     slave {
           pcm "spdif"
     }
}
  

Open PLI commands and responces:

aplay -l : no sound device

lshw : no such command

lspci : no pci device (or similar response)

   

Questions to ENIGMA2 ENGINEERS:

1. Which command gives the possibility to see my connected DAC (external sound card/amplifire)?

2. Which files and which exact lines can be configured in addition in order to see the connected external amplifier / DAC (external sound card) ? -- 

 

Thanks, engineers.

Irrelevant. The above topic is related to the exact desription of the configuration, addressed to the engneers and is not intended to a user with lack of knowledge, or to a blind user.
