It does look the name needs to be quoted but I'm not sure what you suggest will work if squeezelite command line processing is doing what I think.

Could be - names have to be exactly right but doesn't explain the weird charactes - as if string variable in error message is pointing to garbage or random memory. Full "-d output=debug" log may show things up. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=117242 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

What happens when you use squeezelite logging. On my system with only default audio. Code: minitower:$ squeezelite -L Volume controls for default Master minitower:$ squeezelite -d output=debug -V Master [20:29:22.986549] output_init_alsa:817 init output . . .

I couldn't find the code for mixer_init_alsa routine ? bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=117242 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] piCorePlayer and hardware volume control
On pCP the volume control name was "E30 " with a space after E30. Maybe that is an issue.

Squeezelite is restarted after changing options so the device shouldn't be open. I noticed that the command line used is Code: /usr/local/bin/squeezelite -n "piCorePlayer" -o hw:CARD=E30,DEV=0 -a 80:4::1: -D 0:u32be -v -V "E30" The inverted commas around E30 look suspect to me. I'll try adding -V E30 to another squeezelite install on Raspbian. slartibartfast's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35609 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=117242 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I think you have to use the full ALSA name for the control after "-V". Use "amixer controls " to list all the controls by their ALSA name. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=117242 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
