Restoring Factory EQ Settings with beocreate.

Hi all,

I am very new to this and I am not having any luck, I built up some speakers and I can't use them.

It would seem that I have corrupted the factory B&O speaker presets and I can not set any parameters at all, if I go to set gain I see question marks where numbers were previously, "add" filter is grey and not selectable.

I had to turn the unit off when I was adjusting some settings as the cursor disappeared, this has happened on numerous occasions.
I have a Pi4 and have reloaded HiFiBerry OS multiple times, also tried a new card but nothing has helped, I get a message along the lines of- data on the amplifier system is damaged.

 

I did manage to get to write to the beo in Sigma Studio and then had a look at it in the HiFiBerry browser and the settings were different, I tried to adjust them but the cursor disappeared again when I tried to save.

 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, I am however pretty useless with computers.

Cheers.

  If you just push a profile from SigmaStudio, HiFiBerryOS won't support any DSP controls as it does not have any information about the specific controls. This requires a DSP profile file:

  https://github.com/hifiberry/hifiberry-dsp/blob/master/doc/adaptexistingprofiles.md
  
  As you're "pretty useless with computers", I recommend not to go this route, but simply re-deploy the Beocreate DSP profile that comes with HiFiBerryOS.

  Wow, thanks for the quick reply!

  How would I go about re-deploying the DSP profile? All I want is to be able to use the "other" profile as I am setting up some two way active speakers?

  Thanks again,

  James.

  Just under "DSP profiles" in the advanced settings.

  I can't do that, I am unable to add any filters, I think turning the beocreate off when the cursor disappeared corrupted something.

  All of the B&O speaker presets aren't usable either, I can't even adjust the level for a channel,

  You should not add a filter or adjust level - this won't be possible until you have installed the correct DSP profile first.

  Would there be any reason that the cursor disappears every time I click "Save Listening Mode"?
  I am using a USB mouse and keyboard as I can't access the Beocreate remotely after it connects to my Wi-Fi, I can only access it when it shows up as beocreate setup..... I think this is user error at my end.

  I found the error code, I see this when I go in to DSP Programs- "There is a problem accessing the sound processor (damaged code on the sound system)"

  I got this before trying to get it to work with Sigma Studio.
  
  I have had a crossover and EQ working and it was quite easy to get working but it doesn't behave the same now.

  I'm an idiot, I thought that the Beocreate would show up like a hotspot or something similar but all I had to do was enter the IP Address, hahaha!
  
  So all of my issues was from a lack of reading(info is all over the place) and having the keyboard and mouse plugged in to the Pi made it do funny things making it impossible to set up my EQ and crossovers.
  Speakers sound quite nice for a rough guess at EQ settings, have some ScanSpeak Beryllium tweeters and 5" Illuminator mids in a ~9L ported enclosure.
