zador.blood.stained Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 You need to create ctl.!default block in asoundrc too, since the log tells that it fails to open the mixer controls. Also I may be wrong about referencing the card in forked-daapd, you should check its manuals too.

Also I may be wrong about referencing the card in forked-daapd, you should check its manuals too. I read below link under software mixing https://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Asoundrc#dmix I follow .asoundrc overthere and aplay running with default device unfortunately forked-daapd has very limited reference for the card
zador.blood.stained Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Please try card = "default" in forked-daapd
dony71 Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Please try card = "default" in forked-daapd /var/log/forked-daapd.log ---------------------------------------- [2017-01-16 12:28:51] [ LOG] laudio: Failed to open configured mixer element 'I2s Or Pcm Audio Mode Select format' [2017-01-16 12:28:51] [ LOG] laudio: Could not open mixer [2017-01-16 12:28:51] [ LOG] player: Could not start ALSA device 'BPi-M2P' [2017-01-16 12:28:51] [ LOG] player: Could not activate ALSA device 'BPi-M2P' FYI, sound output is OK by testing "aplay -f cd -D default test.wav"
zador.blood.stained Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 So you need to change the mixer line too in the config
dony71 Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 So you need to change the mixer line too in the config i have no idea change to what?
zador.blood.stained Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 i have no idea change to what? I have no idea too. Please try to experiment, maybe comment out this line, use something like "default" or "dmix".
dony71 Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 I have no idea too. Please try to experiment, maybe comment out this line, use something like "default" or "dmix". try mixer = "dmix" or mixer = "default", not working forked-daapd has very poor documentation regarding sound output setting now to find correct setting, it's like trying to find needle in the desert
Bernie_O Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 I think the developer (E.Jurgensen) might be willing to help. So I would suggest to ask him directly in this thread: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=49928 I know this is a Raspberry-Pi Forum, but regarding sound-card configuration there should be no difference. Maybe he has an idea, or another user has a similar setup to yours. If you can solve your problem it would be nice to post the solution here as well. Best wishes, Bernie_O

Bernie_O Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 Hey dony71, did you get this working? Because forked-daapd was blocking the audio-device I also had to configure alsa with dmix. Here is a nice tutorial: That works quite well for me.
