forciesuccessfully installed ZZ9000AX19:25
forciepaula passtrough works great, but both AHI 4.18 and axmp3 is super choppy19:26
forciefirmware 1.10 and latest drivers19:26
forciedoes not seem to matter which mixing rate i pick, even stuff that handled pseudo-14bit paula ahi modes chops19:29
forcieso i guess there might be something wrong on the linux side19:35
forcieor possibly something else, of course :)19:52
forcieA4000/040 with a apollo 404019:53
forcieaxmp3-32meg is equally choppy20:57
minuteforcie: maybe i can crosscompile another driver from home with some fixes by tomsoniq21:10
minuteforcie: there is no linux btw21:10
forciesorry, i meant ARM side.21:21
forcieand please do not interupt your vacation if you do not want to :)21:22
minuteforcie: do you have am amiga gcc crosscompiler setup?21:26
forcienot atm, i guess i could setup bebbos on macos21:29
minuteforcie: if you can, that would be great, then you could compile the driver and i can prepare a branch with the patch from here21:29
forciebuilding21:30
minuteah, actually thomas even put a precompiled .audio into the archive21:36
minutewanna try? http://dump.mntmn.com/zz9000ax-ahi-tomsoniq.lha21:36
forcieoh cool21:36
forciemight as well since gcc takes a while to build21:37
forcieand i guess that is with the patch?21:38
forcieinstalled21:41
forcierebooting21:41
minuteyes, should be the patched one21:41
minutehere is the diff https://source.mnt.re/amiga/zz9000-drivers/-/merge_requests/8/diffs?commit_id=68701933fd65be15462f45fe60dbaade1f65173321:43
forcieunfortunately it does not seem to change the behaviour, everything played through AHI or axmp3 is choppy21:44
forciesounds like buffer underruns or such21:45
minuteah yes i know the choppiness problem21:46
minutei had this shortly before release on Z2, but then it just went away, couldn't reproduce it, so i thought it was just a fluke21:46
forciei do not think i have any special AHI-related patches21:46
minuteapparently it popped up for a bunch of people though21:46
minutei think it might be a timing problem related to the audio ringbuffer in zz900021:46
forciealso, the card makes a recognisable three-click noise when the card boots up21:47
minutethat is good21:47
minutethat noise is the DSP program being uploaded21:47
forcieonce i managed to boot without the click, then there was no audio, so i guess it missed the init sequence then :)21:47
minuteyes, sounds like21:47
minuteall of this will be fixed btw21:48
forciesure, happy to help out with any testing.21:48
minuteit's just a rough start and then i had to take some time off 21:48
minutethe hardware itself is fine so it's just a matter of fixing some fw + driver bugs21:48
forcieat least i should be able to try out source patches directly with the crosscompiler :)21:49
minutenice21:50
minuteforcie: you could try (if you don't mind some mind numbing monotony) to cold start like 10 times to see if the choppy problem goes away21:51
forciei'll give it a shot21:53
forciemost of the times i have to softreset once for my IDE controller to wake up, so i'm not sure it will be effective21:55
minuteinteresting22:04
minutenot sure if soft reset makes a difference though22:05
forcielooks like i can build stuff in zz9000-drivers okay22:15
neoman`minute, do you have an idea why I hear paula output on AUX?22:17
* neoman` -> neoman22:18
minuteneoman: yes, because the 2-pin cable going to MIO is probably wrong22:21
minuteneoman: like, connected in the wrong way22:21
neomanhrrrm I'm very sure it isn't but I'll check again :)22:22
minuteneoman: double check that cable22:22
neomanok22:22
minute(at least that was exactly the problem of one other user)22:22
minuteit means that ZZ9000AX is not detected over I2C and thus the DSP firmware not uploaded, so it runs in the default configuration22:22
minute(factory default)22:23
neomanok, yes my fault :)22:29
neomanthanks!22:29
neomanworks, sound is fine!22:29
minuteneoman: awesome!22:30
minuteneoman: what was the mistake?22:30
neomanI connected the cable the wrong way around. 22:31
neoman=/22:31
minuteah yes, same as the other person22:31
neomanstupid me :)22:31
minutewell, can easily happen22:31
neomannow I can hear a bit of the "krächzen" you describe in the a1k thread22:32
minutewhat kind of playback did you try?22:33
neomanI cross-check some mods in delitracker right now22:34
minuteAHI? Paula? how many kHz?22:34
neomanjust Paula. also the LINE Output feels around 20% louder22:35
neomancompared to the A4000 board output22:35
minutehmm, that's possible due to the amplifiers and it goes through ADC->DSP->DAC22:36
minutelater we can adjust the volume and possibly EQ/filter it in the DSP22:36
neomanhmm so I compared both channels with my mixer and somehow the AX output seems 20%-30% louder but then it's clipped also22:40
minuteis the clipping also present via AHI?22:42
minutei wonder if it's a dsp initialization issue then 22:42
minuteif it's the same clipping i heard, it was very present in the bass sounds of castle master.mod for example22:43
neomanhmm I can make a small recording... one sec22:43
neomanhttps://modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_by_moduleid&query=56181 - it's this one btw22:44
neomanhttps://codeamiga.org/ax1.png22:48
neomantop ax, bottom onboard22:48
neomanalso I see a DC offset on your output22:48
neomanoh wtf22:49
neomanneed to make a new one because I mixed up L and R :-) but yes it's still too loud 22:49
minuteoh yeah, that looks amplified22:52
minuteneoman: can you do the same recording for AHI?22:53
minutethrough AHI i mean22:54
neomanit's quite strange because my onboard paula output doesn't seem to be fully separated ....22:54
neomanyes I need to try the AHI noteplayer for that22:54
neomanbut well as long as you can see what's going on :)22:54
minutei think the paula audio that we get from the video slot is before the analog filter on the amiga22:54
+ gdonner (gdonner@c-98-253-93-116.hsd1.in.comcast.net)22:55
neomanaaah ok22:55
minuteneoman: there is also supposed to be filtered audio on the other side of AAUD (if you mirror the connector (GND is in the middle of the five pins))22:56
minutebut in my experiments it sounded weird, at least on A300022:56
neomanbut I guess you can also see something which looks like a DC offset. well it isn't, it's just that negative amplitudes seem to be more amplified22:56
gdonnerThanks for the patched ZZ9000AX.audio file from Thomas--getting audio now, though still issues of course (choppy, etc.) but those are known22:56
gdonnerWhat comes through sounds pretty impressive!22:57
minutegdonner: which kHz rate have you setup in prefs?22:57
minutein AHI prefs22:57
minuteor your player22:57
gdonner3200022:57
minutegdonner: by choppy, do you mean gaps in the audio?22:57
neomanminute, here's the link to the WAV if you need it, https://codeamiga.org/ax1_paula.wav22:57
gdonneryes22:57
neomanI will try to record the AHI version now22:57
minutegdonner: is that a zorro 2 or 3 system, and what cpu?22:57
gdonnerZ3, 6804022:57
minuteoh, amiga intro now @ revision22:58
minute(twitch.tv/revisionparty)22:58
minutegdonner: ok hmmmm... does it get better at 24khz or 12khz? the choppiness i mean22:58
gdonnerhmm; let me try BRB22:58
pasikminute: or ccc stream: https://streaming.media.ccc.de/revision/revision22:59
minutepasik: correct!22:59
minutewatching on twitch because my ps4 can easily do that ;)22:59
norlyAMIGAAAAAAA23:01
neomanhaha norly :D23:01
minuteyes23:02
norlyhi neoman23:02
gdonnerOK; set AHI Prefs to 12000 Hz, saved, loaded AmigaAMP, but it locked up the system when I tried opening an MP323:02
minutegdonner: were you able to play the same mp3s through paula?23:03
gdonnerlet me try23:04
gdonneryes, I can (using Paula 8-bit stereo, 12000 Hz)--shorter interruptions in the audio, but lower quality of course23:11
minuteok, but also with gaps? then the cpu is not powerful enough for the playback23:12
gdonneryeah23:13
minuterather wait for an MHI driver then to decode the mp3 on the ZZ23:13
gdonnerok23:13
minute(or try axmp3?)23:13
gdonnerit's only a 25 MHz 04023:13
minuteahhh yeah ok23:13
minuteand mod playback through AHI, does that work?23:13
gdonneryes, very nicely23:14
minutecool!23:14
minutethen it behaves as expected23:14
neomanminute: recording AHI...23:15
minutewow this intro rules @ revision23:15
neomansame song via AHI-NotePlayer genie on DeliTracker23:15
neomanyeah it's cool :D23:16
neomanand it's differen t:)23:17
minuteyeah23:18
gdonneran MHI driver would be very welcome!23:20
minuteyeah, i'm gonna consult thomas w on that once everything else is stable23:21
minutegdonner: did axmp3 work for you?23:22
minutegdonner: i.e. this version http://dump.mntmn.com/axmp3-32meg23:23
neomanminute: https://codeamiga.org/ax2.png23:24
neomanAHI sounds good.23:24
gdonnerno; I tried the AXMP3-32meg, but no audio through line OUT23:25
minuteneoman: cool, thank you! 23:25
minutegdonner: hmm, ok, thanks for trying23:25
gdonnersure thing23:25
neomanand here's the wav: https://codeamiga.org/ax_secret_island_ahi.wav23:25
neomancute 4k23:44
neoman(even if PC =p)23:44
minuteyeah23:44
