I think the issue is sharing of audio. Some application using ALSA ( on say desktop ) can hog an audio device and so the squeezelite service would fail. Pulseaudio is for sharing audio devices. bpa's Profile: http://forum

Ah, you have installed squeezelite pulse-audio, whereas I always run with squeezelite alsa. I actually have a BBB, I bought it four or five years ago and it's still unpacked :rolleyes: I don't know anything about BBBs though, or the software they run, so I'm pleased you have solved your problem

Well, admitetly I've had no idea what I've been doing most of the time for the past few days as I've tried to get any sound out of these Beaglebones and once succeeded, tried to understand which commands and changes actually made the difference. Since my previous post, I took a few steps backwards
