Another thought - if electrical line level is an issue and there is mismatch (e.g. turntable output no-preamp to line-in) - after mixing the 3 input - volume may be too low ( hex dump of file may show low value non-zero sample) . With alsamixer - you can just take input from a single channel (i

I appear to have found the problem: In alsamixer, I noticed that on the Playback sliders screen for the USB Sound Device, the PCM Capture Source was set for Mic. I toggled this to Line. (Seems a bit counter-intuitive to find that setting, for PCM Capture, here). So now I need to ensure this h

An alternative approach which doesn’t require LMS on the Pi (or the wavin input plugin) is to use a Pi with a Liquidsoap script & Icecast 2. I built one which takes any std output from an amp passed it through a Behringer UCA202 into the Pi and then streams it as FLAC which LMS can play. This all

Well, this is confusing. The problem with the stream no longer playing, having played previously but after an attempt to sync a Radio to the pCP, was fixed by changing the source in favourites back to wavin:hw:CARD=Device. I couldn't get it to work at all before, with exactly this definition -

When syncing with a playing already playing arecord - it requires first arecord to stop and then a new second arecord to start. I think the sync problem is due to the first arecord not stopped before the second arecord is started and so there is a clash over same input device. I think this situ
