At least, I’m fairly sure that’s the case… I’m running Max2play on a Pi with a Hifiberry Amp 2. It’s been working fine for years. Yesterday, it stopped playing audio. I haven’t changed anything and I don’t think that it rebooted – it just stopped playing audio. The Squeezelite installation on the Pi is still showing up in Logitech Media Server and LMS believes that it is playing (I see the track progress indicator working).
I’ve tested the speakers with another sound source and they work.
I saw that there was a Max2play update available, so I applied that. Still no audio.
What are the best next steps to diagnose the issue?
My Squeezelite settings:
Soundcard: sysdefault – bcm2835 Headphones, bcm2835 Headphones – Default Audio Device, CARD=Headphones
(I messed around with this at first thinking it was the issue… I also tried
sysdefault – snd_rpi_hifiberry_dacplus, HiFiBerry DAC+ HiFi pcm512x-hifi-0 – Default Audio Device, CARD=sndrpihifiberry
just in case
)
ALSA Parameter: 80:4::
Command line options: -o hw:1 -C 5 -V DigitalOn the Hifiberry page of the Max2play options, I made sure that I had the correct sound card selected.
I tried telnetting in and running alsamixer, but the interface was different from what I was used to with the extra sound card, so I left the settings alone.
Ugg. While getting the info for this post, I rebooted my Pi (using the reboot link in Max2play). Now I can’t get to the web interface for Max2play – I get a 502 error.
23. Februar 2022 at 14:38 #52086Hi ih8gates,
Please try setting the sound card to „none“ in the HiFiBerry plugin and then reboot your system. Then select the Amp2 again and restart the system. Then in the advanced options of Squezeelite the audio output should be set to „sysdefault…hifiberry_dacplus“. Now restart the server and wait until the player is displayed. Does the audio output then work again?
23. Februar 2022 at 15:33 #52087Thanks. I went through these steps but I’m still not getting any sound through my Amp2.
I set this option as the audio output for Squeezelite:
sysdefault – snd_rpi_hifiberry_dacplus, HiFiBerry DAC+ HiFi pcm512x-hifi-0 – Default Audio Device, CARD=sndrpihifiberryAnd rebooted at each step. I can see Squeezelite syncing with the Logitech Media Server, but no sound.
24. Februar 2022 at 13:32 #52093Which image is installed on your SD card? Are you already using our new Buster Imager? You can find this information at the bottom of the debug info on the „Settings/Reboot“ page. If you are using an older image such as the Jessie or Wheezy image, please consider burning our latest Buster image to the SD card and rebuilding your system. If playback still does not work then, there is probably a hardware defect.
24. Februar 2022 at 14:27 #52096I’m pretty sure I’m on a recent image. I’ve got a new Hifiberry on its way to me (arriving today, hopefully). I’ll try that next.
