Schiit Urd Impressions

I reinstalled ROCK on my Roon Core. Will update in a month or so if I fail to see the issue again, will report back readily if the USB connection goes to hell.

 

How did you run Pi2AES to Urd? Pi2AES provides SPDIF output but Urd only has USB input.

I don't see how that makes it a Roon issue. What you have in common with @keemniloc is using Urd USB to Yggdrasil. Urd is Schiit's first product with USB output (developed with their own implementation of USB), and it was a difficult project that caused delays. Have you contacted Schiit about your issue?

 

Right, it mitigates against it being a Roon issue because it's never happened via AES connection to Yggdrasil, only when using USB. I haven't contacted Schiit because it only happens in my context with Roon. Roon isn't officially supported, and I can't reproduce the issue on-demand. It'd suck to pay to ship it back and forth, be without it for however long, and then have them tell me they can't reproduce. That said, I believe that's my next step as I've confirmed from two users that they also experience this but haven't been able to identify cause or solution here or elsewhere.

 

Technically pi to urd, yup! roon -> pi4 -> (pi2aes or urd) -> Yggdrasil.

 

But the PI2AES hat doesn’t have USB, so you must be using the pi4 usb port, yes? If so, the problem could be with the PI4 usb interface.

 

USB audio output has to be enabled by ropieee. Check the configuration to see if it's selected.

 

I'm using Moode Audio w/ the RoonBridge plugin and everything is enabled. USB output is working/works fine 99% of the time except for when it doesn't.
