Program loads and everything, I can hear the radio but cannot access pi.

Hm... weird. I don't have the Rpi 3 so I can't really test it, but maybe it's an issue with DMA channel?
You can try to apply this commit to PiFmAdv: SaucySoliton/PiFmRds@fcfccdd

If the problem persists try running PiFmAdv on bare Arch Linux Arm (without xorg etc)

from pifmadv.

I run it headless now anyway

from pifmadv.

okay @meigl Is there a command I can use to apply this commit?

from pifmadv.

Never mind its only small

Question : this doesnt affect performance using DMA 5?

from pifmadv.

No, this doesn't affect performance.
I'll soon commit new update but I need to do some testing first.

from pifmadv.

I'm now doing some cool testing with the fifo pipe.

Question: what is best antenna to use? homemade like a 1/2 wave dipole?

from pifmadv.

OH no problem My audio play slightly fast and cuts out after a few seconds!

from pifmadv.

Okay I have now set define DMA_NUMBER 6 And it seems to work okay

from pifmadv.

well DMA channel 6 is reserved by GPU so idk how that will work out. You can try any of these channels which appear free: 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14

from pifmadv.

oh lol 6 is working fine at the moment
