Sync issues RPi 4 and Squeezebox 1

[toobiloo]

Hello I recently got my Squeezebox 1s up and running (amazingly they still work well!). I add a Raspberry Pi 4 with a HifiBerry Amp2 and piCorePlayer, running Squeezelite. Everything works well, but the sync is off between the Squeezebox Classic and the RPi 4.
The whole system is: RPi4 server running LMS, serving (2) Squeezebox Classic (both wired, hooked up to conventional receiver/amps) and (1) RPi4 w/ Hifiberry Amp2 (pCP w/ Sqeezelite, LMS disabled, Wifi for the moment, end goal is wired)

I have tried delayed audio setting in the Player Settings, on the Squeezelite, but that seems to not fix sync, and leads to other weird audio issues.

Thanks for any help

Anyone get an RPi and an original squeezebox to sync? The various settings don’t seem to help. The two squeezeboxen in the system sync fairly well.

Transcoding issue? The SB1 will need everything transcoding to mp3 whereas the other players are capable of handling FLAC etc but as soon as you introduce 1 hamstrung player into a sync group everything is transcoded for lowest common denominator.
