    Not sure what’s gone wrong – was mucking around with bluetooth and I also updated max2play – now my vortexbox set-up can’t find my player. I can see IP addresses for both max2play and vortexbox/LMS. Debug data from trying to start Squeezelite is below. Any ideas?

    Fixed – I found where the -Q parameter is set and removed it. All good now, although not sure why it changed?

    Hi Fifer,

    I’m glad you found the solution. The parameter probably sneaked in while playing around with Bluetooth. At which point, unfortunately, I cannot tell you, because I do not know what you did exactly.

    Thanks Mario – things are almost back to normal, except volume seems fixed (although I have the -V parameter specified) and the player does not seem to respond to the volume controls in the IQAudio panel. Even with all 3 sliders at zero, volume plays at 100%. Also, those settings don’t save – they always reset to 100% after navigating away from IQAudio. I’m sure I’m overlooking something simple, but what?

    Sorted – another „doh!“ moment. The skin I was using on LMS seemed to hide the fixed volume option – at least, I couldn’t find it. Switched back to classic skin, clicked option, all good. Not quite sure why it switched to fixed though? Now to start with bluetooth again and try to get rid of the „pulse may have crashed“ error …

    Hi Fifer,

    Again, I’m glad you found a solution. Thanks for the detailed report of your progress. If someone else encounters a similar problem in the future, this could certainly help them.
