# FIX: HiFiBerry Audio Working Now! 🎉 ## The Problem Your HiFiBerry is detected as: - **Card 3** (not card 0) - **PyAudio device index 1** (not 0) The old configuration was trying to use device 0 (the built-in headphone jack), which is why you heard nothing from your speaker. ## ✅ SOLUTION - Quick Fix ### Method 1: Automatic Configuration (Recommended) Run this script to auto-detect and configure everything: ```bash cd /home/berwn chmod +x configure_hifiberry.sh ./configure_hifiberry.sh ``` This will: 1. Auto-detect your HiFiBerry card number 2. Create the correct ~/.asoundrc 3. Set volume to 100% 4. Test the speaker ### Method 2: Manual Configuration **Step 1: Create correct ALSA config** ```bash cat > ~/.asoundrc << 'EOF' pcm.!default { type asym playback.pcm "plughw:3,0" capture.pcm "plughw:3,0" } ctl.!default { type hw card 3 } EOF ``` **Step 2: Set volume** ```bash amixer -c 3 sset Digital 100% amixer -c 3 sset Analogue 100% ``` **Step 3: Test speaker** ```bash aplay -D plughw:3,0 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav # OR speaker-test -D plughw:3,0 -c 1 -t wav ``` ### Method 3: Use the Updated Python Script The updated `rotary_phone_web.py` now uses device index 1 automatically! Just download the new version and run it: ```bash cd /home/berwn python3 rotary_phone_web.py ``` ## 🎵 Test Your Speaker Now After configuration, test with: ```bash # Using ALSA (command line) aplay -D plughw:3,0 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav # Using speaker-test speaker-test -D plughw:3,0 -c 1 -t sine -f 440 -l 3 # Using the Python script python3 rotary_phone_web.py # Then pick up the phone handset ``` ## 📝 Understanding Your Audio Setup ``` Device 0: bcm2835 Headphones (built-in audio jack) Device 1: HiFiBerry DAC+ADC Pro ← YOUR SPEAKER IS HERE! ``` **In ALSA terms:** - Card 0 = bcm2835 (built-in) - Card 3 = HiFiBerry ← YOUR CARD **In PyAudio terms:** - Device index 0 = bcm2835 - Device index 1 = HiFiBerry ← YOUR DEVICE ## ✅ Updated Script Features The new `rotary_phone_web.py` includes: 1. **Automatic device selection**: Uses device index 1 for HiFiBerry 2. **Both playback and recording**: Configured for your HiFiBerry 3. **Comments for easy changes**: If your device index differs If your HiFiBerry shows as a different device index, edit these lines in the script: ```python # Line ~95 - Playback output_device_index=1, # Change this number if needed # Line ~135 - Recording input_device_index=1, # Change this number if needed ``` ## 🔧 Optional: Make HiFiBerry Card 0 If you want HiFiBerry to be card 0 (optional), disable the built-in audio: ```bash sudo nano /boot/firmware/config.txt # (or /boot/config.txt on older systems) # Add or uncomment: dtparam=audio=off # Make sure this exists: dtoverlay=hifiberry-dacplusadcpro # Save and reboot sudo reboot ``` After reboot, HiFiBerry will be card 0, and you can use the simpler config: ```bash cat > ~/.asoundrc << 'EOF' pcm.!default { type asym playback.pcm "plughw:0,0" capture.pcm "plughw:0,0" } ctl.!default { type hw card 0 } EOF ``` ## 🎉 You're All Set! Your speaker should now work perfectly with: - ✅ Command-line tools (aplay, speaker-test) - ✅ Python script (rotary_phone_web.py) - ✅ Web interface - ✅ Recording from microphone Enjoy your working rotary phone! 📞🎵
