HiFiBerry Room Correction

[auxout]

Hello everyone,

it took me by surprise when today I learned that HiFiBerryOS supports room correction.

This might be an interesting, somewhat tinkery budget option. Next to a microphone, it needs a DSP add-on card.
The calculations are done on a cloud server.

I tried it once, didn’t work for me. For some reason, the measurements done with the UMIK were totally borked. Eventually abandoned it.

The version I tested did not do room correction in the cloud though. It was all local. A PI is more than capable of doing that, so I don’t see the point either. I call bullshit on the FAQ regarding this.

Thank you for your fast, interesting insight! The cloud part struck me, too. Their FAQ states that they use the data to optimize their algorithm:
"Handling this on a cloud server allows us to run optimisations that the Raspberry Pi wouldn’t be able to handle, because it lacks processing power. We also use these data to improve the optimizer."

Yeah, the last part is probably the major thing.

If they improved the measurement part, I don’t know. The UX was pretty good though.
