I had come across multiple tutorials on setting up squeezelite/jivelight on raspian. I've heard it's not quite the same as loading a pCP image, but maybe that's a project to plan out. Thanks everyone for their help.

I ssh'd in to pcp and edited the config to remove the 'dtparam=vc4-kms-v3d' as well as the settings you had in the post. Rebooted. Ssh'd in again and went through the available outputs (hw:card=b1, plughw:card, sysdefault:card) via cli. plughw worked and I entered that setting into pcp squeezelite output setting. Rebooted and now I have sound, and we have the 'needed' requirements resolved. So -- is it possible to have both the LCD and HDMI outputting something visual? As a reminder, this is a older RPi 3B v1.2, and I would love to have personal pictures on the tv screen, and album information on the LCD, but even if we just mirrored the LCD to the TV would be cool.

That's what I thought you were getting at. So, current song playing is at 44.1 sample rate (from squeezelite.log) and LMS is reporting 319Kbs CBR. I don't have any internet radios setup in LMS, and all of my music is either downloaded or ripped. Not sure on Download, but ripped, taking a look at my ABCDE configuration, we're ripping with a variable bit rate with target of 245Kbps, but can swing between 220 and 260, so I would assume most of my mp3s are going to be in that 44.1KHz range.

TV volume is sitting at 50, and the volume slider on the web interface of LMS is maxed, and I can confirm that alsa volume is at fixed volume (I assume that's default for HdMI).

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 8.0.0
Okay -- hdmi wasn't plugged in securely, so iec958:CARD=vc4hdmi,DEV=0
does get squeezelite running, however still no sound.
Examining the /etc/asound.conf (in diagnostics) there is no vc4hdmi,
just headphones:
Code:
# default - Generated by piCorePlayer
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "hw:0,0"
}
pcm.pcpinput {
type hw
card Headphones
device 0
}
#---ALSA EQ Below
pcm.sound_device {
type plug
slave.pcm {
type hw
card Headphones
device 0
}
}
ctl.equal {
type equal;
controls "/home/tc/.alsaequal.bin"
library "/usr/local/lib/ladspa/caps.so"
}
pcm.plugequal {
type equal;
slave.pcm "sound_device";
controls "/home/tc/.alsaequal.bin"
library "/usr/local/lib/ladspa/caps.so"
}
pcm.equal {
type plug;
slave.pcm plugequal;
}
I feel like I should have at least something in alsa for card1. But it
has been a while since I've configured alsa manually.
Code:
*** Scanning for recording devices ***
Card 0, ID `Headphones', name `bcm2835 Headphones'
Card 1, ID `vc4hdmi', name `vc4-hdmi'
What information would y'all like to see?

Oh, Excellent! I did not know that it would show the command being used. I'll take care of it when I get a chance tonight. Thank you.

I'll have to try that once I get home from work (about 8 hours from now). I found the 'squeezelite -l' (here in the forums) which would list the available outputs, *do you have a link that would be helpful for actual troubleshooting*? I just did a quick search, and while I'm seeing quite a few, they are all pointing to slimdevices, and not actually giving command suggestions, and point to suggestions about specific issues not pertaining to a failing squeezelite (sound optimization, only working on the command line). pCP, being minimal, doesn't have man pages installed, and while I understand the reason why, it can be frustrating initially. I did see a -v flag for squeezelite, which seems like it'll be like following journal/dmesg entries specific to squeezelite. Is the preferred method for sharing that information a link to something like Pastebin, or just wrap the output in code tags directly in the thread?

I have tried all of the vc4hdmi outputs: IEC958, Default, Card, etc. All of those leaves Squeezebox failing to start, and no audio to hdmi As some additional information, I didn't have a wired set of headphones to test the audio jack output, so no clue if that is working or not. I have picked a set of wired headphones up from work to test out tonight.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 8.0.0
I had pCP setup before this, I am pretty sure it was pCP7, but I did not keep a backup to verify that. When this worked, the album info displayed on the 7" screen, and the rainbow test screen would display on the TV (assuming it was on). The hardware is rPi 3B v1.2. Despite all the documentation I'm seeing online, this board is tagged with 2015, the revision for this board is a22082 -- this is a recent update. I am unsure of what revision was used when I had this working. I am trying to set up pCP8 (8.20) [64-bit] and am having issues getting it configured the way I need/would like to have it set up. My needs: pCP8 displaying album information on 7" LCD, playing audio through HDMI (as described above). My Wants: pCP8 displaying album information on 7" LCD AND TV (via HDMI) displaying Album Art and/or personal images while playing audio through HDMI I have the 'Official Raspberry Pi 7" touch screen.' This is a DSI display, and was the cause of some consternation when I originally setup pCP as, at the time, DSI and HDMI did not play well together. I remember it was a simple config.txt change, but do not remember the specific item I needed to add. Again, no back up to figure it out. As such, I have been using the forums and Google to try to figure out what I need to do to set this up. As nothing works at the moment, I'm find doing what ever is needed. I'm pretty familiar with linux and should be able to get whatever is needed. [I HAVE NOT TESTED RASPIAN -- My next test later on today will be whether raspian is functioning similarly to what I would like. I am expecting mirrored displays on LCD and TV, and getting sound from TV, but am not sure if that's what will happen, I will report the results if they are not as expected. ] On to what I have tried: I have tried both 32- and 64-bit versions. I have set SqueezeLite for HDMI Audio (as well as Headphones and None just to be thorough) I have added dtparam=vc4-kms-v3d, as well as -fkms- I have removed gpu_mem OR left it in place I have added max_framebuffers=2, display_default_lcd=1 and framebuffer_priority=0 (in groups and individually) I have tried adding video=DSI-1:800x480@60 and video=DSI-1:480x800@60 It's possible I've missed a combination, but have tried going through reasonable iterations of the above settings. My results are either A or B -- A) No sound from HDMI regardless of LCD or HDMI video out. B) It only displays through HDMI, and there's no audio. What other information do you need/want? What suggestions might anyone have?
