Hello,
I recently built moOde 4.1 using this link - http://moodeaudio.org/forum/showthread.php?tid=146 with the help of other moOde enthusiasts. I've been enjoying RPi3b+ (powered by 5V/2.5A supply)/moOde 4.1/Topping D30 DAC (self powered) for the past month. The only problem is, I can't get Airplay to work.
After booting or rebooting, my iPhone 6s/iPad mini (first gen)/iPad 2017/Mackbook mid 2012 will detect a moOde Airplay icon but within 10-15 secs of connecting (no audio yet) it will disconnect and the icon disappears. Music will only plays on the devices not through the RPi. The only way to restore the moOde Airplay icon is to restart it in config but the same frustrating cycle of disconnection persists.
To make sure it wasn't a problem with my build I tried a friend's moOde 4.1 build which he has confirmed to have a working Airplay in his environment. This did not work either. To make sure it is not a USB DAC issue, I tried 2 other USB DACs - AQ Dragonfly Black and XtremPro X1. I even "self-powered" these 2 DACs with a 2 port USB hub extender, still no success.
I don't know if it is my router or LAN because I can Airplay on Volumio. However moOde sounds better to my ears and want to make this my main music player.
The only time I was able to make Airplay work on moOde 4.1 was through the built-in 3.5mm audio out with nothing connected to the USB ports.
I'm a novice when it comes to computers.
Thanks in advance for your assistance!
JE
