Hi,
I'm running PiCorePlayer (connected to Logitech Media Server) on a Pi2 with the Amp+.
All my local music plays fine (Flac) and most Radio stations also play fine (BBC, 181.FM as examples) but one radio station will not play - this is 105.9 SunnyFM (a CBS station).
All that is produced is a soft buzz which remains there even if the stream is stopped. Once a playable station or local music is started, the buzz stops and the music plays, but return to SunnyFM and there is no audio other than the soft buzz.
If I remove the Amp+ and set the Pi to output analogue audio from the 3.5mm jack, SunnyFM plays perfectly - it only fails when the AMP+ is connected and configured.
Has anyone got any ideas??

HiFiBerry team The Amp works onl with 44.1 and 48kHz sample rates, not less. Some radio stations use sample rates that are lower. Maybe this station is only streaming 22kHz.

Mark Swift Hi Daniel,
Many thanks for the fast reply - so to confirm, the AMP+ is a DAC and an amp, it doesn't use the Pi as a DAC?
I'll see if I can get the sample rate of the station tomorrow, but I suspect you may be right.. -
HiFiBerry team Hi Mark,
yes, the Amp has a DAC included. Otherwise the sound quality would be quite bad.
Best regards

Mark Swift Just wanted to confirm you were dead right! I've set the Pi to upsample anything that's less than 44.1KHz and it's working!
Again, many thanks for your help,
Mark
