[PROBLEM] 1st time Moode user needs help

[dukeincleve]

I have used Volumio previously with no problems. Because I prefer open source software, I installed moodeaudio 6.1 on my RPii3/Allo Boss DAC. I can't play anything yet because I get the following error message when I try to do so:

Failed to open "ALSA default" (also)
Failed to open ALSA device "hw0.0"
No such file or directory

I anyone can help, I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks

Post the contents of moode log.

My solution for the same error was to try again with a different SD card.

@dukeincleve I take it you've gone through the initial setup guide, rebooted where prompted etc?

Do you mean for Moode or the music? I actually have a thumb drive for my music.

Also, even the built-in test files caused the same error message.

Yes, I followed the setup steps, and rebooted when prompted.

Sorry, it took me a while to figure how to do it.

I hope this is what you meant.

Thanks for your help.

The following log entries indicate some breakage in your config or the presence of another connected audio device thats acquired card 0.

Code:

20190829 140314 worker: ALSA volume set to (Invalid card number.)
20190829 140323 worker: ALSA volume level (Invalid card number.)

Normally they would be like below.

Code:

20190901 150536 worker: ALSA volume set to (0%)
20190901 150541 worker: ALSA volume level (60%)

Try the command "aplay -l". It should produce output identical to below for a Boss DAC.

Code:

pi@rp2:~ $ aplay -l

card 0: BossDAC [BossDAC], device 0: Boss DAC HiFi [Master] pcm512x-hifi-0 []
