Randomly missing audio (HDMI) - VCHI service conn error - challenge - 01-09-2022
Hello, I get a few seconds of missing audio while playing.
It happens sometimes one time per hour, sometimes multiple, sometimes never...
Moode 7.6.1 - RPi4 - CamillaDSP on (6ch in use) - HDMI out - Suptronics x6000 7.1 board (hdmi input not HAT, self powered)
Sound stops for like 10 seconds then it resumes. WebUI slow/unaccessible when it happens.
Not sure if it happens between songs or randomly.
I am not using it daily. And don't remember if it happened in past. Today I updated from 7.4.x to 7.6.1 and I realized about it.
Not asking for a solution but what could it be? kernel bug?
I checked the logs and this shows up when it happens.
Code:
Jan 9 13:39:43 moode kernel: [ 490.337605] bcm2835_audio bcm2835_audio: failed to close VCHI service connection (status=1)

I thought HDMI multi channel output only worked starting with RaspiOS Bullseye ??

Jeez are you implying I'm running a hacked kernel?
I am asking seriously as I don't remember and I'm very surprised about it.
I though this was a vanilla image... but haven't used it for a while, so it could be.
I remember the kernel had to be hacked for the multichannel to work in past, but I thought it was added a good while ago and don't remember having to do it in the latest moode releases?? (had a brain fart, just realized the kernel doesn't change in moode updates... so it could be true!)
Let me check!
EDIT: nah it's running stock moode kernel, no mods.

@Tim Curtis hdmi multi channel with camilladsp works since camilladsp is added. Multichannel with usb is a different story.

Nah, kernel is stock from moode iso. Just checked.
As bitlab says it works (hdmi multi channel with camilladsp)
Tested up to 3-way stereo crossovers and it works fine.
Cannot provide any other debug info. Now it's playing (since 1hr ago), no issues.
I'll keep an eye on it.

does moode support multi channel output to a usb dac?
RE: Randomly missing audio (HDMI) - VCHI service conn error - Tim Curtis - 01-26-2022
IIRC multichannel USB audio requires Linux kernel 5.15.y branch. We may use this branch in upcoming moOde 8 release but no guarantee. Eventually though the 5.15.y branch will become the default in Raspberry Pi OS.

it will be great to have multichannel through usb, because for a 2.1 system (subwoofer + 2 spekaers) we need 3 channels to make room correction in right way with camilla.
thanks for nice work
