Squeezelite funktioniert nicht

**King_Crimson** · 2022-05-22, 02:27

Hi,

(sorry, I wrote this thread in German first)

I have installed LMS 8.3.0, Alsa and Squeezelite 1.9.9 on an x86 Ubuntu 22.04 PC. The LMS works an I can stream music to my Android tablet (Squeeze Player). However, connecting Squeezelite to my Teac UD-501 DAC does not work poperly. The DAC, connected via USB, is found as output device, and squeezelite is also found as player in LMS. But when I start music playback, the DAC does not react in any way and nothing can be heard.

I start squeezelite with the command "squeezelite -o front:CARD=UD501,DEV=0 -a 240:::1 -b 80000:320000 -p 90 -d all=debug", which I found somewhere in the web. Maybe these settings are not correct?

I had the same hardware running without problems for years, but after installing Ubuntu 22.04 this issue happens. Below you can see the squeezelite log. The last row is suspicious: "alsa_open:533 unable to set hw params: No such device or address". Maybe Alsa is not setup correctly?

Any ideas what is wrong and what I have to do?
Thank you!

It seems like alsa does not find the given hardware address. What's the output of aplay -l?

**King_Crimson** · 2022-05-27, 09:52

Thanks for your reply!
The DAC is found as card 1.

Can you execute squeezelite -l to list all output options available for Squeezelite? Did you disable onboard sound via config.txt?

**King_Crimson** · 2022-05-29, 02:40

Sorry, I don't know which config.txt you mean. Where can I find it?

Try removing parameters from the Squeezelite command line - leaving you with just the output device and debug

**Michael83** · 2022-05-29, 03:07

I‘m not sure since I don‘t use Ubuntu. Try /boot/config.txt or /boot/firmware/config.txt. Change or add this line:

Code:

dtparam=audio=off

Then reboot.

**Paul Webster** · 2022-05-29, 05:08

Does that apply to something that is not a Raspberry Pi?

Oh, you‘re right. You wrote PC and somehow I had Raspberry on my mind.

The output seems to be similar to my first post. The part between the two bold lines is repeated endlessly until I press CTRL+C.
