Ah - got it. I am not familiar with linux.

Hi,
The log looks ok.
To troubleshoot:
- Type cmd: alsamixer and post a full screenshot
- Type cmd: amixer -c 1 and post output
I'll take a look

Hi Tim,
See attached screenshot.
pi@moode:~ $ amixer -c 1
Simple mixer control 'PCM',0
Capabilities: pvolume pswitch pswitch-joined
Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
Limits: Playback 0 - 110
Mono:
Front Left: Playback 110 [100%] [0.00dB] [on]
Front Right: Playback 110 [100%] [0.00dB] [on]

Hi,
I should have specified alsamixer -c 1 but in any case amixer cmd output looks ok.
I'm not seeing anything suspicious. Your DAC apparently has an on-board hardware volume controller. You could try setting MPD Volume control to Hardware, then in the Customize screen set Logarithmic curve to Yes.
Another option is to set MPD resampling to 32 bit / * kHz. Some newer USB DAC's have receiver chips that only accept 32 bit word length.

I found the problem and have a partial fix. It is a combination of 3 issues:
1. I didn't realise i needed to configure the squeezelite settings at it was a small link on the menu - the audio output there was set to 'on-board device'. Changing that to USB fixed the problem. I can get music from LMS now
2. Airplay is not working. I think there's a conflict with one of the LMS airplay plugins. No sound if i choose 'Moode Airplay', but i can get Airplay if I select 'moode' - 'moode' is probably rendered by the airplay plugins in LMS.....
3. I can't seem to play any of the radio stations or the test tones.. must be some configuration issue...
So, only LMS is working

Why are tracks from the iTunes store decoded to 24-bit, and then output at 32-bit? (using a HiFiBerry Digi+)
Here's a screenshot:
Shouldn't they be decoded to 16-bit? And if not, shouldn't 24-bit audio be output at 24-bit?
Hi,
There is no such thing as "bit-depth" in lossy compression (iTunes store tracks, mp3, ogg, etc).
Below is an old but still relevant post from MaxK, the main MPD dev.
(1) MP3: The property of bit depth does not exist in compressed file formats until they are decoded back to PCM. MPD uses libmad plugin to decode MP3 format and libmad outputs 28/44.1 PCM of which 24 bits are used by MPD.
(2) WAV: The libsndfile plugin is used by MPD to decode WAV format files and this decoder always outputs a bit depth of 32 bits.
(3) HW_PARAMS: This is the bit depth reported by ALSA and is what is actually sent to the audio device. If its lower than the MPD decoded bit depth, it reflects MPD falling back to a PCM bit depth that the audio hardware indicates it can supports. This was the case in the WAV example where the decdoded bit depth was 32 bits but the DAC (a BerryNOS) can handle only up to 24 bit.

Squeezelite renderer hogs ALSA. Turn it off and other audio should play.
access 2nd USB stick on router?
Tim: I had no difficulties accessing a single USB stick attached to my router with flac files. My router can attach up to 2 USB sticks.
I am having difficulties accessing both USB sticks attached to the router using NAS configuration on moodeaudio, it seems to allow only one USB, is there a way?
thanks,

As long as each stick has a different disk label u should be able to make a seperate NAS source for each one.
I still cannot get to the bottom of this I still get a stuck upexplorer process at 100% (or one core) leaving the RPI running at 28-30% cpu and I have to kill the process. I cannot reproduce this immediately but I can get it to happen every day, seems to be to do with cached upnp play lists. If I switch the source in Bubble DS or Kazoo to Radio after finishing then I don't get the issue. Despite getting this on two different installs I realise this could still be peculiar to my setup , in fact JF (uplexplorer writer) could not reproduce the error or see anything in my core files.
I have built a new version of upexplorer from his sample repos to see if that fixes the issue but..
@Tim
1) Do you rebuild upexplorer or has it remained the same of the last few updates?
2) Where in the Web Code is upexplorer called?
3) I play radio streams using the UPMPDCLI OHRadio functionality, do you call upexplorer for Radio streams and more specifically Radio Streams played this way?
I tried all the methods described in your link but none of them worked!
Given the fact that on Archlinux hd-idle worked but here the above method gave some errors is there any other way to do it?
Thank you!!!
Hi,
I compiled upexplorer-0.10.0 way back and it hasn't changed since. Search for function getUpnpCoverUrl() in /var/www/inc/playerlib.php

Hello Tim,
I just jump in SBC with Raspbery Pi3 B. MoodeAudio player looks very nice. And sounds very good. I have a problem with index of 2TB HDD with music. Updating is goes to B letter and stops. I removed folder, but after that stops on C letter. I am new, and haven't read all posts in theme. You may have discus similar problem.
Thanks,
Angel

- Moode System config, Clear system logs
- from ssh, tail -f /var/log/mpd/mpd.log
- Moode Source config, UPDATE MPD DB
- look for errors in the log
super huge embedded cover art images was an issue for one user
corrupt files have been an issue for many users
$RECYCLEBIN on a drive caused issues for another user
etc, etc
if you want more error information change mpd logging from "default" to "verbose" by editing /etc/mpd.conf then restarting MPD.
MoodeCase with MamboBerry LS DAC+
I finally built the MoodeCase project I had in hand, using the Collybia MamboBerry LS DAC+ and a 5v iPower. Superb sound running Moode 3.1 as a UPnP renderer at a very low cost:

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
