Soundproblem on an Orange Pi PC Plus

Q&A

Hi everybody, I installed rompr and mopidy on the above mentioned Orange Pi with Armbian Buster. Everything works like a charm except the audio. Audiotest itself works (aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav). My mopidy config:

Running "/usr/bin/mopidy --config /usr/share/mopidy/conf.d:/etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf config" as user mopidy

Anybody any idea what could be wrong? Thanks for some help

If it’s anything like a pi then you might need to ensure mopidy is in the correct group to access the sound card. If you are using hdmi sound that might include the video user. Also make sure you default soundcard (if there are two) is correct for all users i.e including the mopidy user. There’s a bit more detail on both these things in our raspberry pi installation docs.

It’s 2 years old but there might be some hints here, looks as though I had problems with gstreamer and alsamixer set up. That could all have changed, like I say it was 2 years ago now.

Steve, this helped, I was missing gstreamer1.0-alsa…thanks a lot for the help…
