Official moOde 6.7.1 support thread

[TheOldPresbyope]

2) Raspi 3B with 7" official display connected via HDMI to Marantz AVR --> same install --> sound only via headphone jack, no sound via HDMI

Possibly an unexpected conflict somewhere because of the local display?

I just looked at my only Official Display-equipped moOde player. It's running the testing version of moOde r7.0.0 but it has the same behavior as reported by the OP. Here's snippets of moodeutl -l and aplay -l outputs

Code:

Confirming, the Pi HDMI does not appear in the Output Device pulldown list in MPD Config.

Turning off the HDMI port, rebooting, turning the HDMI port back on, and rebooting did not change the situation.

OTOH, I'm running moOde r6.7.1 on another Pi-3B+ with an actual HDMI device attached (a 3.5in LCD display). Same snippets:

and of course the PI HDMI output device shows up in MPD Config.

I see only one difference in the /boot/config.txt files.

- hdmi_group=0 in the player not offering the Pi HDMI device
- hdmi_group=1 in the player which does

However, on yet another RPi3A+ player running the testing version of moode-r7.0.0 with no local display, the Pi HDMI output device is offered in MPD Config. In its /boot/config.txt file, hdmi_group=0 so this seems a red herring, which by all rights it should be.
