Thanks Ronnie. That worked perfectly. The Pi3 you've fixed is in my workshop. After switching it on every morning I'd have to go back to the house & home office to boot up the PC to adjust the volume. After a few weeks it was beginning to get a little irritating. Especially with the inviolable

Could anyone help me with a USB audio problem? On previous advice I've boosted the alsamixer to 100% to sort out a low volume issue. However, after updating to 5.0.0 I now only have sound through one of the two speakers. I've tested the speakers with my PC and they are fine. Both speakers /

I was wondering if PiCorePlayer could support a choice of servers. And if it might be possible to add 'Booksonic' (https://github.com/popeen/Popeens-DSub) as an option. Hope this isn't too daft an idea. Robert

I have a pair of 'Palo Alto Cubik speakers' (http://www.paloaltoaudio.com/cubik/) with an internal DAC. These active speakers would be a great fit for my workshop hi-fi but I just can't get them to work with PiCorePlayer. The now defunct Palo Alto didn't provide any information about the DAC
