I am also looking to get my BBB working via I2S. Volumio claims to have support and I can get music out using that however there is distortion in one channel I cannot get rid of. I ultimately want to run Squeezelite on the BBB via I2S - the search continues. I am trying to locate drivers and/or somebody who has successfuly achieved it. Chris

I would try "-o sysdefault:CARD=Audio", see how that goes.

OK, thanks. Have done this and CPU reporting 100%, lets see if that makes any difference. BTW, the "static" noise was there this morning so I did an off/on via Orange Squeeze and this cleared it. so Its not a big deal to reset and get rid of the noise.

Thanks. Having played around with the "-o" string on squeezelite startup what happens now, after a period of time, is that I get a kind of static along with the music rather than no music as before. This is actually similar to a problem I had with my RaspberryPi/Picoreplayer/Squeezelite setup, that was fixed by using -o iec958:CARD=Audio,DEV=0 tho I never understood why, that was a different DAC. Unfortunately does not work in this case tho. I notice an ON/OFF button on the Android SB client I use (Orange Squeeze) so I will try that next time I get the noise. Again thanks for the blog, I think the Beaglebone has great potential as a Squeezebox player.

k-man, Hi again. Re my issue posted yesterday, recurred today after a few hours (not playing music). I manager to do a restart: debian@arm:/etc/init.d$ sudo ./squeezelite restart [ ok ] Restarting Squeezebox client: squeezelite-armv6hf. Following that music was playing again. Any thoughts on this? I have it running as part of the startup script you provided running a a daemon so maybe an issue with the script? Any thoughts appreciated. Cheers

JayV, Does ./squeezelite-armv6hf -l give you any output? If so maybe paste it here. But I think its primarily a Squeezelite issue so maybe go look/ask at the Squeezelite forum Announce: Squeezelite - a small headless squeezeplay emulator for linux (alsa only) Cheers

JayV, Try ./squeezelite-armv6hf -l This will give a list of the output devices Squeezelite sees. There will be a couple "onbard" devices but the rest should be your USB DAC. I use the "sysdefault" one in the -o startup string, that seems to work best but it will vary depending on your DAC. Strangely results can vary depending which device string you use but typically the default, sysdefault and front string work for people. The issue here is within Squeezelite I think rather than the setup within Debian. Hope that helps and I haven't put you wrong! k-man, Thanks for this blog. Had fun getting it working but sounds good now. However I left the setup running (not playing music) overnight and got no sound in the morning even tho "ps -A |grep squeeze" reported Squeezelite running. Had to poweroff and restart. Have you had any similar problems? Cheers
