Audio Issue w/ USB DAC, no sound, Raspbian

General
1

I am trying to get Mopidy to route my sound through my USB DAC. I can get sound out of the HDMI → TV, but not through the USB DAC. I have tried various suggestions on other threads but hasn’t fixed the issue.

This should have come up in the other threads, have you tried specifying the device to use in your mopidy.conf:

[audio] 
output = alsasink device=hw:1,0
3

Yes, i have. I can’t get a song to play when i specify that output.

4

So what is the actual error message in the log file when using that config?

And what’s the result of using that with the testing pipeline:

gst-launch-1.0 audiotestsrc ! audioresample ! alsasink device=hw:1,0

Does osmc use ALSA or Pulseaudio?

Is this a Mopidy specific problem? Do other programs produce output through your USB DAC?

5

When I add “[audio] output = alsasink device=hw:1,0” to config

I also run Logitech Media Server which works great through the USB DAC

8

I am not sure if OSMC uses Alsa or Pulseaudio. I did a quick google search but I wasn’t able to determine which is used

9

Looks like this process (related to Logitech Media Server) is grabbing ALSA;

root 481 1 0 20:38 ? 00:01:11 /usr/bin/squeezelite-armv6hf -o iec958:CARD=DAC,DEV=0 -n osmc

10

When I stop the Squeezelite service and re-run this command it stalls on “New clock: GstAudioSinkClock”;

osmc@osmc:~$ sudo service squeezelite stop
osmc@osmc:~$ gst-launch-1.0 audiotestsrc ! audioresample ! alsasink device=hw:1,0

You can set up a alsa dmix config so both apps can use the device. Should be examples on here somewhere.

From your mopidy log:
INFO 2017-06-07 23:12:55,650 [857:Audio-2] mopidy.audio.actor
Audio output set to “autoaudiosink”

It should match what you put in the config audio output. Are you editing the correct config file?

12

I like your suggestion, but I am hesitant to introduce other options into the mix as I have spent a fair amount of time getting Logitech Media Server to play through the USB DAC. Unless of course I knew that this was the solution!

I edit /etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf for my configuration.

13

I used to use an alsa dmix config like that when I ran my raspbian system. You just need to define a /etc/asound.conf file with the right stuff in it. If it doesn’t work you can just delete the file and you’re back where you started.

/etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf is the system config file that’s used when you run the system service. If you just run mopidy as your user (which is what you were doing) then it’ll use ~/.config/mopidy/mopidy.conf. Other differences with the system service are explained at https://docs.mopidy.com/en/latest/service/

14

I intended to run it as a service. What am I doing wrong to not run it as service? Maybe this is part of the issue…

15

I don’t know how you are normally running it, that Web page I linked explains how you should be running it. But in the snippet you pasted before, that was showing the log output, you were just running it as your user from the command line.

17

You need to double check your edits there. Those are two different sections. The audio section has no card setting and the alsamixer section is for something different to what you are trying to do.

It should be

[audio] 
output = alsasink device=hw:1,0

And that’s in addition to sorting out a dmix alsa config.

@kingosticks: thank you for your help on this. Based on the suggestion posted here; DietPi Community Forum - Welcome to the DietPi OS Community Forum, I tried to get this setup, but there is no sound through USB DAC, only sound through HDMI.

Here is my aplay -l results;

$ aplay -l
