Gian, Well something is screwed if you say "sudo /etc/init.d/squeezelite start" does not work. What output, if any, does the command produce? Have you checked to see to squeezelite is not already running via "htop" or a ps command? I'm afraid I can't duplicate this until I have created a Ubuntu virtual machine. But your Ubuntu desktop is probably running pluseaudio which can get in the way. Which desktop environment are you using - unity or something else? Does the ouput of "squeezelite -l" contain the device "pulse". If so, as a quick test start squeezelite manually with: squeezelite -o pulse -n Z210 -s 192.168.1.122 ( Actually, as you used squeezelite -n Z210 -s 192.168.1.122, you did not specify an output device and so squeezelite must have used the default device - probably the same as using -o pulse) My external USB DAC has a similar PCM chip and I use the param "-a :::0". You would add this to the /etc/default/squeezelite file as: SB_EXTRA_ARGS="-a :::0" I'm sure it will work, it's just a case of getting the config right. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Krisbee's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59080 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101436 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
