I am not getting sound through my Raspberry Pi anymore. When I first set it up it worked fine, but after I shortened the cables and played around a bit with the settings I can’t get it to produce sound anymore. After many attempts I today heard a very loud click in one of my speakers and I’ve heard that twice now.
I have:
– rebooted and reinstalled the image a few times
– went back to the standard settings
– disabled build-in audio
– only Shairport running (not Squeezelite or any other player)
Hi wouthermans,
Please try out different speakers to rule out yours as a source of error.
Also, what do you have selected in the advanced options of your shairport player?
Hi Heiner, I just checked my speakers on another source and then they work fine.
In the advanced options of shairport player I have „soundcard equel-equel,“ And for the rest haven’t filled in anything here.
If you are using a sound card, please select it in the Raspberry Settings. If you are not using one but instead the built-in audio jack, please select sysdefault – bcm2835…
I’m using the Hifiberry Amp+ and I had this set already. I’ve also disabled build-in audio on RPI3.
Could the power supply be the problem here? I’ve bought a new 18V 13W power supply and it worked when I first set it up, so it would be a bit weird if this would be the problem.
That might be the problem, however, crucial is the Ampere of your power supply. The recommended one by HiFiBerry has 3,3 A at 18 V (resulting in ca. 60 Watt). We sell one that can achieve at least 72 Watt. Do you have a more powerful supply to test in order rule out this source of error?
