Hi Chris,

I would do a couple of things:

(1) On MPD config screen verify
(a) Audio output = "On-board audio device"
(b) Volume control = "Software"
(2) Press APPLY

(3) On System config screen verify that ALSA volume = 100%

Btw, the above settings are the default settings for a clean Moode install.

If above settings are OK then turn volume up till you hear something. I rarely test the on-board sound chip because SQ is so bad but I recall having to turn volume to at lease 50 before any sound output.

Regards,
Tim

MPD settings were set to as you suggest, applied anyway,
Sys config vole = ALSA -100% ,yes.
The playback dial is set to 88% volume, still no sound
Any other settings to consider?

Just to clarify, this is not my intended listening set up!( Headphones via the PI) this is just to get the hang of the component parts, I will add a DAC later probably IQ Audio, and feed to a T-Amp.
I have to learn to stumble before walking, maybe break into a light trot sometime in the future......................

Tim.
just remounted the saved NAS mount tried again and have audio!!!! Probably nothing wrong with the player, just me............

Sometimes thats theanswer.. Rebooting things

Yup, it seems work often enough to be a fallback solution..............Tried Volumio first, thne Moode, leaning toward Moode player now.at least more bits on screen to fiddle with.
I have set the timezone to Greenwich , as to what the benefits of that might be are unclear.
Now on with the masterplan, which will inevitably be far from anguish free but hopefully worthwhile.Not seen what I intend on any forums, but no doubt it or similar will be, somewhere.

Many thanks for your attention Tim, much appreciated and reassuring that you are about on such occasions.

Hi,

Glad u got things working :-)

Might want to consider IQaudIO Pi-AMP+ instead of DAC --> T-AMP. The Pi-AMP+ is fully integrated DAC+AMP solution. I have one connected to HSU Research STF-2 subwoofer and KEF Q60 mains :-)

Tim

Any clues please?

Hi there,
I find this happens occasionally if the NAS has put the drives to sleep and MoOde isn't able to "waken" them again.
My solution is to waken the drives via file explorer on the PC before I start MoOde.

Hope this helps
