So i had a little time to test another mix on STTNG today (before i blew a coil! - damn it!). And it was much much better on 1.22 than i was used to. When using the Ultimate Mix by Pinballshark, i often ended up with no music during the game modes on previous versions. But with 1.22 i have the correct music in all modes! Yay! This means that for STTNG at least, it seems really really usable now!

Now i just need a 1.23 (or higher) with working sound to test if the latest improvement regarding the multiball music have also been fixed. And if it has i will move on to testing on IJ.

Seems like there is awesome progress these days. Perhaps mostly on Williams DCS machines, but i am confident steve45 will be able to fix the other systems as well.

I can confirm that 1.23 downloaded via MEGA has sound!

And it seems that the bug with multiball music is fixed also, but i will have to do more testing when getting home from work.

I confirm that 1.23 from mega provides sounds again.

logfiles are in my shared folder :

I would say that it's nearly perfect on my IJ, but there is still one annoying glitch ; when multiple hits are done on bumpers, a lot of sounds are played and cutting the previous one
What's your advice Steve , shall i put a suppress_repeated = 1 in the ini ?

EDIT : i got some spare time to give a try with suppress_repeated. did not change anything.

Looks really cool. The possibilities are endless

A nice feature would be if you could browse and select the different sound sets on the SD card.

Nice idea Steve,
How do we set up the wifi?

steve45 Steve, can you double check the way the descrambling is done. Indeed, when you compare the sounds played at bumper hit, and the endprodukte video, that's not the same.
Endprodukte :

I went about it as follows:

- connect to RaspberryPi via SSH
- login as user "pi" password "raspberry"
- type "sudo -s" to gain root access
- type "dietpi-config"
- choose "Network Options: Adapters" to set SSID and WiFi password. Also make sure WiFi adapter is enabled
- choose "Save all changes and restart networking"

No typo. Raspisound is now using DietPi distro.
Thanks for keeping an eye out though.

Thanks you 2
If I update from 1.12 I'm not on dietpi, so both are right
I'd prefer to put wifi ssid and key directly in a config file, to avoid wiring but that's ok

Is there any chance you can open up the soundset and identify the wrong sound by name/id, and also what sound name/id should have been played instead?

That is often the best way for steve45 for correct mapping errors. Also if you find the specific ID, i believe you could try correcting the line in the config file and try it out right away?

It's an ongoing effort but I lack time as usual.
I'll give a try anyway..

??????????

OK, I won't have any time to do this trial

thanks steve, any technical improvement or just the Webui (with reducing the interest of this part). Shall we expect changes in sound/music handling in some vendor ?

God damn Steve!! This is awesome

I especially like how you can actually adjust volumes on the fly while playing live, or playing back a recorded game. This makes it MUCH easier to finetune a soundsets volumes.

And not having to pull out the SD card or USB stick to add / remove soundsets is so nice! Is it possible to replace single samples "on-the-fly" in a soundset as well?

There is amazing potential here. Perhaps at some point when playing live or playing back a recording you could have som sort of "live log view" showing exactly which sample is being triggered. That way if you had a sound that wasn't correct (like a pop bumber sound on IJ?) you could see the sample number / sample path being triggered and so on. I think this could help taking Raspisound to new levels and hitting as close to 100% emulation as possible across the different systems / vendors.

But i am really psyched about this update!! Awesome work Steve

Awesome news about the samples!! But yes, priority should definitely be system support and accuracy.

steve45 Just out of curiosity, but is there any reason the image needs a 16gb SD card? It seems like a lot of space for a small operating system.

Any chance an image could be made that would fit on an 8GB card instead? Perhaps for those that are going to use an USB key for the sound files anyway? I have a couple of them laying around, so it would be perfect for me

I fully understand how that list is always expanding, and everything needs to be prioritized.

And yes the cards are cheap. But as stands today, it seems that to be sure the 16GB image will fit, you have to use 32GB cards. And if you want to buy 32GB cards of a decent quality, they aren't exactly free either

I'll see what options i have, as i really want to try out 1.24

i have an error writing to actual 1.24 full image, anyone else?
will redownload and try again..
agree that shrinking the img a bit would help as i only have one 16GB sd handling it, my other 16GB seem too small ? (windisk32 imager)

I will be trying a 32GB sd card that a friend of mine owns later today, as it didn't fit on the 16gb i was already using for raspisound.

Anyhow, the problem should be eliminated when Steve finds the time to create a smaller image

Keep up the good (and very appreciated) work Steve!

Ré-downloading fixed my burning issue.
I've got all files, put my wifi and put the SD card back in my pi3. Sadly, nothing happens.
No device on my lan
No sound coming out from the pi.

Will try to debug

ok, plugging on my ethernet helped to get an access.
I've also found the ssh credentials, which are not written anywhere..
for your sake : pi / raspberry

then you can do :

sudo systemctl enable pinsound

it will fix the autoboot issue and you should be able to move forward !

port for the webUI : 31008

EDIT : i had to plug my ethernet, and run by ssh the dietpi-config to enable the wifi

Great reactivity steve!

Yes, thank you Steve!

However, for me there is still no luck. It is probably my own missing skills causing problems...

But if i write the small image to a 8 or 16gb card the Pi boots (and everything looks ok on the attached monitor), but there is no sound at all. Not even the raspisound announcements.

Hooking an ethernet cable in, and trying to connect to dietpi:31008 doesn't do anything

And unlike when i wrote the 16GB image to a 16gb sd card that it said was too small, i no longer have any windows partition where i can acces the config files to setup wifi. But this could be by design?

So if anyone else have success using the small image, please let me know. Tried writing the 16gb image again to 2 different 16gb sd cards, but both was too small to fit the image according to Win32 Disk Imager, so i was really hoping the small 4gb image would work for me

Phantasize, did you try to plug the pi to your lan by ethernet and check your router if you see a dietpi device

Yes, and nothing showed up

Did you config dietpi and dietpi-wifi in boot partition?

Like i wrote, when writing the small image to a 16gb card, none of the partitions were readable from windows afterwards, so i could not configure those files. It boots in the Pi, but no lan / ethernet network seems to work as calling dietpi:31008 from Chrome doesn't work and i don't see any device in my Router called DietPi (which is the default name).

So i am kinda stuck right now, as the small image written to a 16gb card does not work, and both my 16gb cards are too small for the 16gb image. And unfortunately i do not have access to a 32gb sd card right now to test the full image on.

OK, if you don't see partitions, then it won't work for sure..
Shrinking the larger img should be feasible ut I have no time to do so..

Allright, time for a update. I had a friend of mine successfully shrink the fat32 partition of the full 1.24 image a little, so it now writes to my 16gb card without any errors.

The good thing is that i have the two correct partitions, it boots correctly, and i have sound and access to the WebUI via LAN!

I do however have some minor issues:

1. I only have sound when using the Pi's default output. I have not been able to output sound through my USB sound card, which i was using on the previous versions. I have the use-usb.txt file on the new USB card that holds the sounds like this USBDRIVE/data/use-usb.txt - Perhaps that is the wrong place for it, or it simply isn't needed anymore?

2. Concerning problem 1 above: When i started testing i was able to access the WebUI's config page. But even if i used that page to set the sound device to USB, nothing changed (not even after a restart of the Pi)

3: For some reason i am no longer able to access the Config page via the WebUI. It is empty, and a red error is shown in the bottom of the page saying something like "A problem occured". The other pages of the UI seems to work as they should.

4: I am unable to use wifi, but i am pretty sure that is me not knowing how to configure it correctly via the dietpi and dietpi-wifi files. I'll keep trying

Oh and if you read this Steve, i had a question about adjusting the gain, ducking and individual sound volumes via the UI. Are those changes stored on the fly, or are they not stored at all? Because i don't see any way of saving the changes.

As always your work is extremely appreciated!

From what I understand, those files are only used during first run (after the image has been written to your SD card). Since you have already started your Pi, any changes to those files will be ignored by the system.

Try the WiFi setup instructions posted here:
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/rebuilding-sound-for-de-jurassic-park-using-a-pi/page/11#post-4788048

And the best option is that you can now switch soundset live, directly from the webui.

So cool!!!

Steve45
I know it may sound less fun, but accuracy of the sound playing seem (at least to me) the first goal to reach.
For 5.1, I don't know but at least a good 2.1 with the bass separated might be great

I agree
