Is AMP+ supported under pi MusicBox and Raspbian or do I need to install a driver manually?
I need a Linux-Distribution with xserver, because I use the Respberry as Slideshow for my pictures.
Can I install the Pi MusicBox of Raspbian or can I install xserver of Pi MusicBox?
Thank you for your answer. :)
Hi,
I would expect that the Amp+ is supported in PiMusicBox as the driver is part of the standard Raspberry Pi Linux kernel for more than a year now.
About the XServer: The standard Raspbian X11 environment hangs if a GPIO soundcard is installed. However, I can't say why this is the case. You might need to further dig into the configuration here.
In general, your setup should be possible, but expect that you need to configure some things by hand. I can't give you a simple "how-to" guide for this.

Hi dear Daniel,
thank you for your answer. :)
That's really too bad that the X11 environment hangs if a GPIO soundcard is installed!?! Then I need another solution for my Slideshow. I just do not know if there a slideshow program without a graphical environment exists??
Best regards

I think, the X11 thing just need some debugging. Unfortunately we are very busy and can't spend time on this. I'm not sure, but Kodi (OpenElec or OSMC) might be an option for you. It can display pictures and play music. However, I'm not sure if you can control both independently. You might have a look into this.
Best regards
Daniel
