Squeezelite problem with Odroid XU4s

**zakman35** · 2022-06-05, 09:48

Hello,

I am running Dietpi on a Odroid XU4s emmc.

I have squeezelite installed and working, but i cannot play files >96 Khz, although my usb dac (ifi Zen v2) supports pcm up to 384Khz and DSD 256.

I have no experience of setting up my usb dac via command line, so any help is welcome.

Here are the soundcards.

Code:

root@DietPi:~# squeezelite -l

Using the command "sudo nano /etc/default/squeezelite" i get the following result.

Code:

SL_SOUNDCARD="hw:CARD=Audio,DEV=0" -r 44100-384000  -b 2080:3528  -n

SL_ALSA_PARAMS="80"

obviously my coding is not correct.

Try

Code:

SL_SOUNDCARD="hw:CARD=Audio,DEV=0"

SL_ALSA_PARAMS="-r 44100-384000  -b 2080:3528 "

Maybe first try with the PARAMS left blank, I don't know what you intended with "80" (I can only guess

_)

After save and exit, run

Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/ squeezelite restart

Which version of Squeezelite are you using ?

Unfortunately suggested commands are not producing any difference.

I asume the installation path of squeezelite configuration must be different in dietpi.

Find below installation details, in case that helps.
