Hello Increasingly concerned as to Microsoft's insatiable appetite for user information I have decided to investigate Linux as an alternative - this is all very new to me so please forgive any "silly" questions that follow.
I have installed Linux Mint 18.2 Sonya onto a test hard disk (can easily be reformatted) and amongst my many problems (trying to run before I can walk) is that having installed Squeezeplay whilst everything appears okay there is no sound coming out of my computer speakers when the Squeeeplay app is running. I should add that this only appears to afflict Squeezeplay - I can play locally copied flac files (from my LMS library which is on a Synology NAS) using the default installed media player and VLC. When I try and open a BBC Radio stream via Triode's BBCiPlayer plugin in Squeezeplay (hat's off to BPA as well!) all seems to be normal with the stream connecting and play counter running, just no sound. The version of Squeezeplay I have installed is squeezeplay_7.8.0~328_amd64.deb SqueezePlay for Ubuntu/Debian x86_64 ALSA from here https://code.google.com/archive/p/squeezeslave/downloads. I wonder if anyone might help ? Thanks PS I have pasted below system information from my test Mint install System: Host: GHOST Kernel: 4.8.0-53-generic x86_64 (64 bit gcc: 5.4.0) Desktop: Cinnamon 3.4.3 (Gtk 3.18.9-1ubuntu3.3) dm: lightdm Distro: Linux Mint 18.2 Sonya Machine: Mobo: ASUSTeK model: PRIME X370-PRO v: Rev X.0x Bios: American Megatrends v: 0604 date: 04/06/2017 CPU: Octa core AMD Ryzen 7 1700X Eight-Core (-HT-MCP-) cache: 4096 KB flags: (lm nx sse sse2 sse3 sse4_1 sse4_2 sse4a ssse3 svm) bmips: 54295 clock speeds: min/max: 2200/3400 MHz 1: 2200 MHz 2: 2200 MHz 3: 2200 MHz 4: 2200 MHz 5: 2200 MHz 6: 2200 MHz 7: 2200 MHz 8: 2200 MHz 9: 2200 MHz 10: 2200 MHz 11: 2200 MHz 12: 2200 MHz 13: 2200 MHz 14: 2200 MHz 15: 2200 MHz 16: 2200 MHz Graphics: Card: NVIDIA GF119 [NVS 310] bus-ID: 29:00.0 chip-ID: 10de:107d Display Server: X.Org 1.18.4 drivers: nvidia (unloaded: fbdev,vesa,nouveau) Resolution: [email protected], [email protected] GLX Renderer: NVS 310/PCIe/SSE2 GLX Version: 4.5.0 NVIDIA 375.66 Direct Rendering: Yes Audio: Card-1 Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] Device 1457 driver: snd_hda_intel bus-ID: 2b:00.3 chip-ID: 1022:1457 Card-2 C-Media CMI8788 [Oxygen HD Audio] driver: snd_virtuoso port: c000 bus-ID: 28:04.0 chip-ID: 13f6:8788 Card-3 NVIDIA GF119 HDMI Audio Controller driver: snd_hda_intel bus-ID: 29:00.1 chip-ID: 10de:0e08 Sound: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture v: k4.8.0-53-generic Network: Card: Intel I211 Gigabit Network Connection driver: igb v: 5.3.0-k port: d000 bus-ID: 26:00.0 chip-ID: 8086:1539 IF: enp38s0 state: up speed: 1000 Mbps duplex: full mac: <filter> Drives: HDD Total Size: 64.0GB (15.3% used) ID-1: /dev/nvme0n1 model: N/A size: 250.1GB serial: S3ESNX0J208710L ID-2: /dev/nvme1n1 model: N/A size: 250.1GB serial: S3ESNX0J310730K ID-3: /dev/sdb model: M4 size: 64.0GB serial: 00000000123909180F74 Partition: ID-1: / size: 28G used: 5.4G (21%) fs: ext4 dev: /dev/sdb1 ID-2: /home size: 28G used: 154M (1%) fs: ext4 dev: /dev/sdb2 ID-3: swap-1 size: 4.02GB used: 0.00GB (0%) fs: swap dev: /dev/dm-0 RAID: System: supported: N/A No RAID devices: /proc/mdstat, md_mod kernel module present Unused Devices: none Sensors: System Temperatures: cpu: N/A mobo: N/A gpu: 0.0:48C Fan Speeds (in rpm): cpu: 0 Repos: Active apt sources in file: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package-repositories.list deb http: //packages.linuxmint.com sonya main upstream import backport #id:linuxmint_main deb http: //archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial main restricted universe multiverse deb http: //archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates main restricted universe multiverse deb http: //archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-backports main restricted universe multiverse deb http: //security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-security main restricted universe multiverse deb http: //archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ xenial partner Info: Processes: 322 Uptime: 16 min Memory: 950.3/16042.7MB Init: systemd v: 229 runlevel: 5 default: 2 Gcc sys: 5.4.0 Client: Unknown python2.7 client inxi: 2.2.35 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ farrina's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65601 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107672 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
