Reply To: No sound on a WinBook Tw800.

9. September 2017 at 8:38 #31228

I reloaded this fresh and then installed Max2play. I can play on the monitor thought the HDMI or the built in little speakers on this Wintable tw801. Can even play though the headphone all on the desktop of it.

But can’t get Max2play to play.

This time I got it to list all the sound devices. by putting a link to /usr/bin/squeezelite at /opt/squeezelite if I don’t the Select Audio output stays blank.

Even put USB speakers on it. I can play that with the desktop too.

Here is all it shows for devices.

I have picked about every one and it still says „Status: Squeezelite not running“ I can pick pulse and it don’t error then but it don’t play ether.

I know Max2play is not supported on this but so close.

I guess it has something to do with copying the squeezelite file to the /opt/squeezelite.

So my link looks like this that I guess my be the wrong way.

root@tw801:/opt/squeezelite# ls -l
total 8
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root  462 Sep  9 08:02 btcheck.sh
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Sep  9 06:39 log
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   20 Sep  9 07:12 squeezelite -> /usr/bin/squeezelite
root@tw801:/opt/squeezelite#

But if I don’t have that Max2play for setting Soundcard Select Audio output is blank just like this space in this text. As seen as I put that link it the Soundcard has a list to pick what card but it seems like none don’t work. I get this error.

T`rying to launch … NOT successful Click here to show detailed information
[09:12:51.215336] test_open:294 playback open error: No such device
[09:12:51.215483] output_init_common:381 unable to open output device`

Must be some easy fix. I can play on every device on the desktop.
