TemplarB Posted August 3, 2022 Share #1 Posted August 3, 2022 Hi all! I updated from DSM 6 to 7 on my HPE Microserver Gen8 (baremetal install, emulating DS3622xs+, current DSM 7.1-42661 Update 1) and on 2nd try all went well but now I cannot access my USD DAC E30, which earlier DSM "saw" as USB Speakers, and new DSM "sees" (i.e. if I connect it, writes "USB audio in info) but I cannot use it with Audio Station. I've searched both this forum and the net for a solution, and found at least two variants to install USB drivers to DSM7 the first is here, https://mariushosting.com/synology-how-to-add-usb-support-on-dsm-7/ and the idea is a short script that uses modprobe and lter another using insmod. I tried it as described and by accessing via SSH. I successfully added (at least no errors were shown) drivers, but it still does not "see" DAC as a possible output for Audio station the second option is a bit harder, so I haven't tried it yet, it can be found here https://github.com/robertklep/dsm7-usb-serial-drivers - here the problem is that in the list of Supported platforms there is no broadwellnk - I guess it can be the same as one of the lisyed but I cannot be sure I will be glad if this info helps anyone and still hope that someone will tell me a step-by-step way to recover my access to USB DAC, preferably w/o rebuilding the whole system (my meagre skills mean I may err even in simplest tasks) I guess I have to find out what USB driver is used by my DAC (how?) and then to get it from linux which runs the same core as my NAS (again how?) If there are any guides on this forum, which I missed, please direct me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orphée Posted August 3, 2022 Share #2 Posted August 3, 2022 You may want to try this :http://www.jadahl.com/iperf-arp-scan/DSM_7.0/But not sure it will work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried this (it is noted at the end of the first link I posted above) but either I've done it wrong or my USB driver isn't in the list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TemplarB Posted August 3, 2022 Author Share #4 Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) Also as I understand, it is possible to install e.g. some linux on docker and bridge USB port to that virtual machine - but once again what to install and will it see my music library Edited August 3, 2022 by TemplarB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cafeine Posted August 8, 2022 Share #5 Posted August 8, 2022 @TemplarB sorry I don't have answer for your question, but can I ask you some ? Because I will have to migrate a Gen8 myself soon. - What SATA map did you use ? Did you have to enable hotplug in TC config ? - What made you choose DS3622xs+ platform ? Any reason not to pick 918+ ? I am currently on 3615xs and wondering what to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hotplug seems to be on (I haven't found it it BIOS but because system works I guess it is on and I don't plan to take out HDD on a working server) As for mapping I had those "SataPortMap": "6", "DiskIdxMap": "00" 1 hour ago, Cafeine said: - What made you choose DS3622xs+ platform ? Any reason not to pick 918+ ? I am currently on 3615xs and wondering what to do. Because previously I had DS3617xs with DSM 6.1 and in a tutorial here in other thread it is said that DS3617xs is legacy so better use DS3622xs+ instead. I initially tried to set DS3617xs but failed (quite possible because of my errors) I hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TemplarB Posted August 9, 2022 Author Share #8 Posted August 9, 2022 Regarding the original question, I can share one inelegant but working solution and ask for more specific help. 1. while DSM Audio Station doesn't work with USB speakers/DACs now, it can still send to other UNPNP destinations, so if you heave an old TV box or nsometing sumilar that can run Linux or newer Android, it can serve as a miidleman - receiving by Ethernet and sending to USB 2. I found that my DAC uses XMOS XU208 as USB controller. XMOS site gives windows drivers, but says iOS and Linux support it by default so I still in the dark what driver to search for. Any suggestions? Can it be in ALSA or it doesn't directly work with USB? There is an old instruction how to set them for Linux https://tldp.org/HOWTO/Alsa-sound-4.html but I'm not sure that's what I need.

You may have a look on this side... maybe look a way to compile g_audio kernel module if not already part of syno loader. Maybe ask to @pocopico This is just a idea, did not look at it further. I may also be totally wrong about this. Edited August 9, 2022 by Orphée 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TemplarB Posted December 4, 2022 Author Share #11 Posted December 4, 2022 just checking - from what I can see, DSM 7.1 and planned 7.2 decided to return some USB support (for drives). Is there any change with USB audio drives? Have anyone found a turnaround the issue, except for installing a virtual machine and forwarding USB ports to it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperJack Posted September 4, 2023 Share #12 Posted September 4, 2023 (edited) Today I decided to try again to switch on the USB DAC disabled in DSM 7. And in info centre it was recognised. The machine has DSM 7.2 version 64570 Update 3. But AudioStation and Roon interface don't see the USB DAC connected to Synology. Maybe someone has managed to output sound in DSM 7?

SuperJack Posted October 19, 2023 Share #14 Posted October 19, 2023 Unfortunately not at the moment. Unless you ask the guys on the forum for someone to take care of this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think not, but I'm lazy to improve - optimally to buy a small comp even cheaper than RaspberryPi and send to it by ethernet and from it to DAC by USB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apejovic Posted November 20, 2023 Share #18 Posted November 20, 2023 (edited) Try to get a cheap "Synology Remote" which was made for DSM 3 and audio station. I would also send a mail to synology to ask if this is still supported under DSM7. I think it's the easiest way to start with. Sorry, just found a german datasheet on quickhand Synology_Remote_Data_Sheet_ger.pdf https://community.synology.com/enu/forum/20/post/139254 Looks like its not supported under DSM 7. Maybe it will work under VDSM ? Edited November 20, 2023 by apejovic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
