Hello everybody,
first of all, I love your product. A very nice way to build a controlable multiroom player. But I’ve got still some issues here.I want a multiroom setup where the server is in the kitchen (and configurated fine already) and a another in the livingroom for music from server’s squeezebox and Kodi from itself.
Setup
Raspberry 3 B+
HifiBerry AMP2
–> bought as a bundle from your shop
M2P licenceProblem 1:
Get passive speakers to work with AMP2. Is there a way to check if Hifiberry’s AMP2 is sending sound to the output (just to make sure it’s not a problem with the speaker), because till now I couldn’t get my speaker to play a sound?Problem 2:
If Kodi streams to screen via HDMI I still want to hear the sound from the passive speakers.
So I assume I have to change standard output when HDMI is connected in Raspberry settings. But only standard (HDMI), jack and HDMI are available in the drop down menu.
Well, I now assume to disable raspberry’s internal on-board sound. –> If doing so, squeezelite stops working and cannot be re-started.
Do I have to change settings in the extended audioplayer menu?I already tried several setups, always with the newest image from your homepage and with newest M2P version. Do kernel and package updates help? I sometimes did that but often appear problems when terminal is updating Apache2.
I already got up a working multiroom setup when choosing ’none‘ as Raspberry’s soundcard and put earphones in the RP’s jack plug. That works fine.But I want to use AMP2’s passive speaker outputs.
Any help welcome!!
Thanks a lot!27. September 2019 at 10:03 #47168Hi hoge,
For Kodi you need to deactivate the build-in audio in Raspberry Settings and reboot to make the AMP2 the first slot. Then you need to make sure to have „hw:0“ in the command line options of Squeezelite to have it also recognize that it’s now in the first slot.
