Settings for USB audio to Klipsch R-51PM

[alexdz57]

Hello. I'm trying to get a new picoreplayer/LMS installation working with Klipsch powered speakers. Everything seems to be working except I don't get any sound.

Squeezelite apparently sees the speakers since clicking More by Output Setting shows me a list of possible strings specific to the R-51PM's. Depending on which I select I either get an error restarting message or it seems to work, but either way I'm not getting any sound. Whether it accepts the particular string or not varies so it may restart OK on hw:CARD=R51PM,DEV=0 one time and then error another. If it doesn't error out and I try to play something the player will look like it's playing a track sometimes, and sometimes it doesn't do anything. Regardless, silence.

I have not touched any of the rest of the squeezelite settings and don't know if I'm supposed to. I'm using mp3 and flac files, but it's the same thing with radio stations.

Appreciate any help.

Turned your volume up to 100% in LMS?

@alexdz57

Any message in the server log after youi try and play something, a radio station for example ?.

Try

 plughw:CARD=R51PM,DEV=0

Did you save after changing the squeezelite setting ? (it sometimes help to reboot).

Is there a volume setting on the control speaker?

@alexdz57
My powered speakers needed additional unmute option during the past pcp updates to get sound.
Might want to check 'more>' at 'Unmute ALSA control' and try suggested setting,
e.g.

Card 1: R51PM - Control: PCM

then set

PCM

at 'Unmute ALSA control'. (I guess you are using hardware volume control.)
