Further to my previous post, just completed fresh install, essentially followed steps suggested by Sniglar except skipped stage of fixing card numbers, and finally it’s working, so on to next stage of moving to touch screen user interface. Decided not to bother looking at drvoptions ..err.. option as that area is outside my skill level.
Still a little concerned, prior to trying Moode Audio, I had a Pi/Cirrus/MPD/NAS system working as a ‘headless’ server running MPD clients on phone & tablet that was working with the minimal audio_output setting (as Moode Audio uses). It all still worked with the minimal MPD audio_output parameter setting after I had upgraded to the latest version of Pi O/S in October but found out that I needed to select device 2 instead of 1 (Pi O/S being reconfigured to show on Pi’s on board HDMI & Headphone as separate cards in the latest version). Then earlier this month re-installed Pi O/S after trying a few potential media servers/music players and couldn’t get MPD to play unless I did the fuller audio_output specification detailed in my preceding post.
So there’s something odd somewhere, maybe some sort of software race and/or stored/preserved data setup problem, anyway, experience tells me that such failings don’t go away, just re-appear sometime in the future, maybe after some other un-related quite innocuous change, oh well time will tell.
For now happy to resume adding touch screen user interface and if that all works, will package it all up in a more house-trained style, job done.
