Dear,

 

I've purchased a hifiberry amp+ and installed it on a raspberry pi 2 with DEBIAN installed. I've already installed LMS in the past, which was working perfect. I've followed the instructions on https://www.hifiberry.com/guides/configuring-linux-3-18-x/ to install the amp+.

 

When I remove "snd_bcm2835" from "/etc/modules" I'm losing all my players.
Checking if the amp+ is installed: succesful

aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: sndrpihifiberry [snd_rpi_hifiberry_amp], device 0: HifiBerry AMP HiFi tas5713-hifi-0 []
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0.

 

Any ideas?

  putting "snd_bcm2835" back, gives me also back all of my players.

  You mean you loose remote players?

  I've setup 2 players on the pi itself. One for music, other for communications thru the house.

  I've found in /usr/local/bin in file "squeezelite_settings.sh" the following line: SL_SOUNDCARD="sysdefault:CARD=ALSA".

  Any idea what I should put there instead?

  SOLVED: replace SL_SOUNDCARD="sysdefault:CARD=ALSA" by SL_SOUNDCARD="sysdefault:CARD=sndrpihifiberry"

  Ok victory was to soon.
  
  Only 1 of the 2 instances is detected. Both instances have their own squeezelite_settings.sh file (squeezelite_settings.sh & squeezelite_settings2.sh). The instance that was updated the last gets recognised by LMS.

  Why using 2 instances on the same pi?
  
  Instance 1: Music player
  Instance 2: Annoucements player + Doorbell sound.

  Instance 2 pauses instance 1. After the announcement/doorbell sound instance 1 resumes the playlist.
