No sound with Raspberry Pi #952

Thanks for the post. There are a few things you could check. I’m taking the Pi’s built-in DAC as an example. First, it does not appear that you are asking Shairport Sync to use the hardware mixer to control the volume – you do not give an If the volume is turned down too far or if it's muted (and it could be), then you won't hear anything. The solution is to:
in the Second, and probably less importantly, you have specified the output device to be an ALSA pseudo-device, not a real hardware device. Shairport Sync is intended to use a real hardware device directly. From the command line, if you enter:
you will get a list of ALSA hardware devices at the end like this:
Use the appropriate name to specify the device you wish to use. On the Raspberry Pi, the built-in DAC is
in the If you want to use a different DAC (e.g. the Hallo Boss DAC), then if it shows up in the list of hardware output devices, select it as the output device. You'll need to use something like If the DAC does not appear in the list of hardware output devices, you need to investigate why – perhaps it needs a driver. |

The name As I mentioned in my previous post, the name of the mixer for the BossDAC is probably "Digital": So, the warning is simply that there is no mixer with the name Otherwise, the log looks okay. |
Done. Will re-test soon

Many thanks for your help. that works :-) |
