Can we forget about LMS for a minute?
The PCP web setup allows to change the output to USB audio, which I did.
For LMS says it's not running, so what is preventing that USB to work?
Is there any other place to set that up?
Volume in PCP's audio settings does not allow any adjustment.

It seems PCP doesn't play DSD files, at least those I tried. Is that so?
It seems PCP doesn't read or can use cue files, from CDs you ripped on
