Hi, I am having trouble playing flac music via USB DAC. Moodeaudio recognises the DAC, with the Output device set correctly. Named I2S device / DT overlay both set to None. System rebooted multiple times. On trying to play a file I get the following error (screenshot attached)
Alert
Failed to open "ALSA Default" (alsa);
Failed to open ALSA Device
"_audioout":No such device
Any ideas how to troubleshoot? I am running Moodeaudio 9.1.2 on a RP4B
SOLVED:
I connected another USB DAC, both recognised by Moodeaudio. New dac played fine and when I switched back to previous DAC, it worked. Still scratching head.
Mods plse feel free to delete post, as I don't know how to
I have a similar issue. I have a smsl su-1 connected to moOde 9.1.4. it used to play fine but it has been off for a while. Now that I want to enable it again it sees the dac but when i select moOde keeps going back to Pi HDMI 1.
Somehow it does not keep the usb dac connected. Rebooted a few times, dac on and off, but nothing works. Very weird...
Usually when the scenario is "it used to play fine" but now its not working it means that something external to the software has malfunctioned for example power supply, cable, connectors, audio device, not enough USB port power etc.
What model Pi?
What model Power Supply?
How many devices connected to USB?
I had connected a external wifi dongle as I'm using a metal case for the RPi and the wifi signal was not great. But I haven't been able to get that working yet.
But I think it might have messed up either the power demand or the usb address or something. I noticed upon connecting the DAC (and RPi restarts with dac connected) it got a 0 in the list of outputs.
What I did to solve it in the end was remove the wifi dongle and the dac. Then restarted the RPI and I noticed Pi HDMI was at 0 position in the output list.
When I then reconnected the dac it got position 1 in the outputs list and then it worked again as an output. So problem solved but not exactly sure what was the actual issue which started it all....
