Sine I have a pi zero available I thought I'd experiment. I can get my pi zero to play FLAC files via HDMI with no problem using piCorePlayer 1.22 (although I did change the ALSA settings from the default to add an 80mS buffer) I am getting strange behaviour with piCorePlayer 2.00 though. With HDMI output set, I get no sound, select analogue out, but don't let it reboot and I get sound via hdmi. 2.00 works perfectly with my pi2B and iQaudio DAC, I'll try the pi2 with HDMI later ------------------------------------------------------------------------ IanH99's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64902 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105018 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
