When I check the sha-256 I get something different than the one in the original post:

openssl sha256 2024-04-04-Patchbox.img 
SHA2-256(2024-04-04-Patchbox.img)= 75bd9af1d7ad2b36ecec44fba47b80d0e3e37e3b90e488e4ecb4105e1b6ac968

Was the file updated?

EDIT: Nevermind, I just ran it on the zip file instead of the img and its fine.

Hello! New PiSound + Raspberry Pi 5 user here. It has been a year since this has been released in beta. Is this still up to date and being worked on? or have the problems listed in the original post, like supercollider crashing been handled.

86

This is the latest release of the OS. It’s ok to use it and get the software updates through APT.

The supercollider issue is still there as far as I am aware.

I’m finally getting back to Raspberry Pi things after a couple of weeks on x86_64 and ChucK. I have a small flock of Pi Zero 2 Ws that I want to run audio applications on. I’m mostly interested in configuring the Zero 2 Ws as “USB gadgets”, using ALSA for the audio drivers, and running command-line audio applications. Bluetooth audio would be nice to have, but I’ve heard enough horror stories about latency that I’d just as soon not mess with it. I don’t think I need JACK, and I’ll probably end up disabling PulseAudio and PipeWire.

Stock Raspberry PiOS “bookworm” now ships with the 6.12 kernel, which, as I understand it, has as standard equipment the “low-latency” / “real-time” patches that have been kicking around the Linux audio ecosystem for a decade or so, So is there any advantage for Patchbox over the stock PiOS on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W?

As you don’t intend to use Jack, go with regular Raspberry Pi OS. :slight_smile:

Sounds good. I think PipeWire may work for what I’m doing; it works fine with ChucK ALSA so it should work with the other things I’m planning.

Have the issues with the WiFi Hotspot “enabled” been resolved in this release, or should we disable this after 1st boot?

91

Which hotspot issue?

92

I’ve been reading in the forum about several on going OS operating issues that occur while the Hotspot feature is enabled. I was simply asking a question if those issues have been found and addressed in the BETA release.

Thanks-KC

There hasn’t been any recent reports of such issues that I am aware of, but let us know if you hit something.

Trying to install the midihub editor on my Pi4 running patchbox. This is what I get:

./MidihubEditor-arm_1.16.1.AppImage

/tmp/.mount_MidihuddhPok/AppRun: 43: exec: /tmp/.mount_MidihuddhPok/usr/bin/midihub-editor: not found

(I already installed the libssl1.1 library from aptitude…)

Also tried to run it from the desktop. Nothing happens :frowning:
