There is/are specific squeezelite thread elsewhere on the forum for squeezelite questions. But a couple of quick points. If you've installed squeezelite in the way you described and there is a "/etc/init.d/squeezelite" file, then it looks as if it has been installed as a service. I would expect to be starting/stopping it with commands like: sudo service squeezelite start ( or /etc/int.d/ squeezelite start ) sudo service squeezelite stop ( or /etc/int.d/ squeezelite stop ) and check if it's running with sudo service squeezelite status The status option may not exist. So you could use "htop" to see it's already running, or something like: ps aux | grep squeezelite Using the command sudo squeezelite -z risks running more than once instance of squeezelite. By the way, if you can invoke the squeezelite program directly, there should be no need to do so as root, no need for the sudo. I would suggest the occasional clicks, pops or makes artifacts may be due to (1) using default values for the parameter options. See here for explanation: https://code.google.com/p/squeezelite/ and use the command squeezelite -h You may need to experiment with values for the ALSA params options, eg. -a 80:40::0 or (2) inherent problems with your hardware. E.g. USB DAC on a RPI. You've said nothing about the hardware you are using, but front:CARD=PCM2702,DEV=0 would imply some kind of external USB DAC perhaps. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Krisbee's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59080 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101436 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
