Moode USB Output

SoX resampling

Yes, it works      

Finally, I can hear sound from RPi USB. I played the web radio, it works fine, sound as expected. Thanks so much.

Now, how do I get Spotify and Airplay to work, the reason I embarked on this project. I looked at the Spotify and Airplay config in Moode, I did not see the same sampling rate I can choose. Any suggestion?

Airplay only offers multiples of 44.1 rate and Spotify only supports 44.1 output rate. If the DAC in these speakers only accepts 48K rate then you are out of luck with Airplay and Spotify, at lease as far as moOde built-in options go for these renderers.

You can try running the alsacap utility to see what bit depths and sample rates the DAC supports.

Code:

moodeutl -F

or

alsacap

Tim, thanks for your quick response. Here is the output:

Code:

alsacap:

Card 2, ID `AM3', name `PSB Alpha AM3'
 Device 0, ID `USB Audio', name `USB Audio', 1 subdevices (1 available)
   2 channels, sampling rate 8000..48000 Hz
   Sample formats: S16_LE
   Buffer size range from 32 to 262144
   Period size range from 16 to 131072

moodeutl -F
Card 2, ID `AM3', name `PSB Alpha AM3'
 Device 0, ID `USB Audio', name `USB Audio', 1 subdevices (1 available)

   Sample formats: S16_LE
   Buffer size range from 32 to 262144

Did I read correctly that Card 2 supports sampling rate between 8000 and 48000Hz?
