Hi,
I have recently installed moode audio 4.1 on a raspberry pi zero. Ir looks gret, but I can not get any sound from the USB audio card.
I can play via HDMI.

I have tried to edit asound.conf (with reboot).

Code:
pi@moode:/etc $ cat /etc/asound.conf 

pcm.!default  {

type hw

card 1

device 0

}

ctl.!default {

type hw

card 1

device 0

}

The USB card has been checked, with:

Code:
[color=#000000]aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav -D sysdefault:CARD=1[/color]

It works, but still no sound when playing with moode web interface.

Some more information:

Code:
[color=#000000]pi@moode:/etc $ aplay -l

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****

Any idea/suggestio?

Which card is it?

what does

Code:
aplay -L

give?
Has it previously worked and if so with what?
More information may help

1. Revert your edits to asound.conf or moOde audio configuration will be broken.

Perform the following steps:

1) Menu, Configure, Audio, I2S audio device: None
2) MPD options: EDIT SETTINGS
3) leave Volume control set to "Software"
4) set Audio device to "USB audio device" then APPLY
5) Verify playback is working

If still no audio then post the output from System info and I'lll have a look

Menu, Configure, System then Menu System info.

Hi Tim

I'm having the same issue with a couple of different USB DACs.

I've followed the instructions you gave above but to no avail.

Only thing maybe of note is that I'm using an old original Pi which seems to be struggling a little.....couldn't see min hardware specs anywhere so assumed it should be ok???

Grateful for any insight Smile

Thanks,
Ian

I don't see anything suspicious in the System info dump.

Try examining MPD log to see if there are any output errors when you try and Play a track or Radio station. Also open moOde Audio config screen and verify that ALSA volume (%) = 100

cat /var/log/mpd/log

Thanks Tim.....

Looking at the logs, it seems the build never fully completed although the Web gui started ok (but painfully slow)

I'm now using a new PI 3 B+ (which I should have waited for in the first place).
On the 3 B+ it built correctly and is playing back via the USB dac happily.
