[slim] Ras Pi Hifiberry DAC Pro Setup
Hi all, my Hifiberry DAC Pro arrived today and I have it set up and working, I am impressed so far but have a few questions 1) The playback volume is quite a bit lower than my TP ( it's like when you forget to set the volume to fixed 100 % on the web server interface ) how do I set it to 100% ? 2) In my haste I messed around with alsamixer not knowing what I was changing and now I have some distortion and jitter on playback :-( how do I set alsamixer back to default ? I've googled for all this but there is s much stuff out there and it confuses me so I thought I'd ask here ( a link would be good ) TIA We can't stop here this is bat country.

Use PiCoreplayer for a simple to setup and use Squeezebox (player) Try Max2Play if you want a LMS server and Player as well. I thought you wanted a replacement for your Transporter ?

Ah if it' a rpi2B then I would guess that jessie should just respond to the SSH routine. I presume the driver for the dac board is in the kernel. It's not poss to use PiCorePlayer and LMS on the same machine ( B+ is good enough for a player only £16 approx). Do I have to change my name to Jenkins now? my specs won't stay on.

Re: [slim] Ras Pi Hifiberry DAC Pro Setup
I totally agree with Jeff. piCorePlayer for a player - runs entirely in RAM (no moving parts to break) max2play for a server / player. Using piCorePlayer particularly it is easy to just reflash the microSD and start again as it only takes minutes to set up from scratch. The same is true for max2play but the config of LMS will take a bit longer than minutes. *Vortexbox LMS 7.8 music on QNAP TS419p via NFS* iThingys/iPeng/Tablets *Living Room* - SB3 -> Onkyo TS606 - > Celestion Ditton F20s - Zone 2 -> Sony TA FE 320 -> Sennheiser RS 130 & B&W P7 *Office* - RPi -> Sony TA FE320 -> Celestion F10s / SB3 -> Onkyo CRN 755 -> Wharfedale Modus Cubes *Dining Room* -> SB Boom *Kitchen* -> UE Radio (upgraded to SB Radio) *Bedroom (Bedside)* - SB Touch -> Topping TP21 -> AKG Headphones *Bedroom (TV)* - Amazon Fire TV (SB Player) -> Topping TP20 -> Wharfedale Modus Cubes d6jg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44051 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104694 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

What Jan means is that the only way of determining when something was added would be by way of the file timestamp. As this would not always be the date you actually added the file to the LMS library the "all files added since ddmmyy" routine would not always be accurate. If for example you today correct a tag in a file that you might have added in 2010 the timestamp is going to be today. Indeed LMS itself will bring the album to the top of the New Music menu for exactly this reason. *Vortexbox LMS 7.8 music on QNAP TS419p via NFS* iThingys/iPeng/Tablets *Living Room* - SB3 -> Onkyo TS606 - > Celestion Ditton F20s - Zone 2 -> Sony TA FE 320 -> Sennheiser RS 130 & B&W P7 *Office* - RPi -> Sony TA FE320 -> Celestion F10s / SB3 -> Onkyo CRN 755 -> Wharfedale Modus Cubes *Dining Room* -> SB Boom *Kitchen* -> UE Radio (upgraded to SB Radio) *Bedroom (Bedside)* - SB Touch -> Topping TP21 -> AKG Headphones *Bedroom (TV)* - Amazon Fire TV (SB Player) -> Topping TP20 -> Wharfedale Modus Cubes d6jg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44051 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104566 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
