Thanks for all the responses. I have uninstalled the previous Squeezeplay package and installed squeezeplay_7.8.0~984_amd64.deb from the suggested repositary.
Symptons still as before. I think that the most likely issue is as suggested by Apesbrain "I'm sure the problem is that you need to tell SqueezePlay which of the available audio outputs it should use" Poking around online I have founs some commands to run to display sound devices (I am pretty clueless so I am hoping that someone might be able to translate) Running aplay -l shows casper@GHOST ~ $ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 7: HDMI 1 [HDMI 1] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 0: Generic Analog [Generic Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 1: Generic Digital [Generic Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 2: STX [Xonar STX], device 0: Multichannel [Multichannel] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 2: STX [Xonar STX], device 1: Digital [Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 casper@GHOST ~ $ The card it should be using is my Asus Xonar STX with analogue output to speakers (the card outputs to an external amplifier) using 2 speaker inputs ie just stereo card 2: STX [Xonar STX], device 0: Multichannel [Multichannel] Running aplay -L produces a massive list of devices which I have pasted at the end of this post The relevant section I think is this one sysdefault:CARD=STX Xonar STX, Multichannel Default Audio Device front:CARD=STX,DEV=0 Xonar STX, Multichannel Front speakers I unfortunately have absolutely no idea (bearing in mind I only installed Linux yesterday) as to how I might change the configuration of Squeezeplay to use this devie - does anyone know if there is a config file that can be edited ?
