HifiBerryOS / Beocreate and stereo setup..

I had a working Beocreate setup with 2 RL6000 speakers (2 Beocreate boards + 1 raspberry pi, linked with Toslink).

I was curious about HifiberryOS, so I tried to setup the same.

However, I can't seem to use the commands Tuomas gave me, like this one:

dsptoolkit get-meta directSlaveSelectRegister ..

The only way to ssh now is with root / hifiberry, and when I use these credentials, the commands give no result? I know little about this, but I think the commands don't exist in this format?

What I want is set one speaker as master, one as slave.

Thanks for any hints :-)

  Maybe the "old" settings are still stored in the (beocreate-)eeprom? What I get (if I do nothing) is a left speaker that responds to the volume settings, and a right speaker that plays very loud (and looks uncontrollable)..

  I changed the SD card back to the beocreate.img for the time being.

  Did you install the profile on HiFiBerryOS? Otherwise the system won't allow you any register settings as it doesn't know what profile you're using.

  Yes, I installed the RL6000 profile.

  Is it a syntaxproblem, maybe?

  Nothing, an empty line.. ??

  After using root / hifiberry I get only "#"

  I don't really know what this means, I am used to something more, can't remember exactly

  I will put the HofiberryOS card back in now

  The # is the command prompt. You have to enter the command line that Tuomas gave you.

  Best regards,

  Oh, maybe I have to install the same profile in the other speakers beocreate board! That might be the problem?

  Ditto. I've installed the latest version (20191220) setup and profile (CX100 in my case) but the 'get-meta' commands don't return any values.

  I tried reinstalling DSP profile with:

  # dsptoolkit install-profile http://downloads.hifiberry.com/beocreate/profiles/beovox-cx100.xml
  DSP profile http://downloads.hifiberry.com/beocreate/profiles/beovox-cx100.xml installed

  and confirming with

  # dsptoolkit check-eeprom
  EEPROM content matches running profile, checksum 18454E5C3033E17F5A11937BF90ED7E4

  but still nothing returned from any 'dsptoolkit get-meta' commands, just a blank line…
