I ran into the same problem in that squeelite won't start for the digi2 board. As I'm a bit time squeezed at the moment I tried the hifiberry os as suggested here and it does work. It's not as snappy, or even remotely as configurable as pcp, but it does work on a pi4. However I suspect the next

I'm using pcp 6.1 on 3 players, with up to yesterday great success. I have the FFmpeg libraries installed on all 3 players, 2 use hifiberry dac's, one a usb dac. Absolutely nothing changed yesterday (as far as I know) but for some reason it's taken to refusing to play several albums in their

HI - I moved up to 6.1 11 days ago, with no difficulty whatsoever. I migrated the setting (iec958:CARD=S6th,DEV=0) from the 5.00 output setting and it has worked for 9 days. The DAC is a SMSL Sanskrit 6 Now squeezelite refuses to start with the old setting. I've tried all the settings and

Once again updates insitu with only one issue which was easily resolved by visiting here: https://sites.google.com/site/picoreplayer/home/List-of-USB-DACs Once I'd remembered where the DAC settings where hidden it all worked again.

Just a short note to say many thanks, from a standing start I've got picore and LMS running on a P3 and talking to a SMSL Sanskrit USB DAC. Very happy with the sound of this, and sync to boot. Hmm, screen next...?
