Hello Paul, thanks for dropping by

When I came back to this, I decided to try a previous version of pCP and used 8.1.0 (I had been messing with the previouse install, so needed a fresh image).

I followed the instructions again (you were correct in the assumption I did save...

I'm playing with the "Autostart Squeezelite" project

I'm not sure if I correctly understand its purpose

First; within the instructions, there seems...

If I were in North America, I would think of trying this (pinched from another thread )

Well I have concluded that running everything on the one Joggler is a trifle fraught with anxiety.

It does all work, but is slow in operation and rquires a large size (at least 32gb) usb stick.

There is still the limitation with the Joggler that some usb sticks work better...

My one is a tad more prosaic

Kev, I use PiShrink to reduce file size

https://github.com/Drewsif/PiShrink

I use a raspberry pi Desktop with a created bin folder at /home/pi

I dd the file image into this folder and then use PiShrink with -z to reduce the file size...

[Man in a van]

Yep, that's the conclusion I have also drawn

Just a follow up; I built the binaries, and voila!

Just quickly: whilst here, pull the usb cable out from the Dac, wait 30 secs or so, then plugg it back in.

Wait again for 30 secs or so the type lsmod again

Does the output change ?

Is it a usb 2 certified cable.

I know that sometimes drivers are dropped...

I don't know, I suggested it earlier, just to check squeezelite. I would think Max2play or RPIOS Buster. PIOS Bullseye should work, they ar all based on the same base, but mayuse different kernels (or not).

I think it best for you to follow the advice given by paul-.

It might help others to help you, if you provid some more detail about the stops.

For example; does the music recommence where it stopped, or not ?

Any messages in the server log?

Which rpi and which OS ?

That sort of thing

[Man in a van]

OK

with only the usb dac connected to the rpi, on a usb 2 socket, reboot the pi.

When it come back up open a terminal and SSH into the pi, user is tc and passwd is piCore

at the prompt type lsmod and press enter on the keyboard;

this is my output,...

I'm just setting up a rpi with pCP

I'll look through the dmesg in a tick

Meanwhile power of the rpi using the Shutdown box frm the Main Page menu

PUll the power, wait for 30 secs or so and then disconnect the usb cable from the rpi, reconnect it to a usb2 input...

It would seem that the dac is not recognised

Can you post the "Boot" log please or the output of "dmesg"

You can access these via Main Page > Diagnostics

All the time you are wasting on this...
