I tried this tonight and shairplay-sync would not start. Can you share your configure file?

Thanks

Hi nullomorph,

Question: do I have to disable Airplay in the RuneUI? Is shairplay-sync an addition to the installed airplay or will it interfere with the installed feature?

Edit: ...I should read your step by step instructions...it's the first step...(stupid me)

I second the recommendation to switch to shairport-sync for use with iOS 9 devices. Works much better that way for me.

Hi,

Running shairport-sync using HifiBerry Digi+ (S/PDIF) or HDMI runs great. However trying to run it over USB to my USB DAC produces garbled sound or no sound at all.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Hans.

Unfortunately, this update is no longer possible for Raspberry Pi 1 devices.

The current version of Shairport-Sync (as built in the repo) doesn't work with RuneAudio's ArchLinux version and libraries.
Because ArchLinux (the OS over which RuneAudio is built) uses a Rolling window for its repos, it's not possible to install an older version of Shairport-Sync, and doing a system-wide update (pacman -Syu) will break the entire installation (I even tried blocking all firmware- and raspberry-related updates).

And there hasn't been any update to RuneAudio for Rpi in over 3 years so I guess this is a dead issue.

Just wanted to give a heads-up to whoever may want to try this.

If you need Shairport-Sync like I do, I'm afraid you will have to look at another system. Bummer, I really love RuneAudio. I'll take a look at Pi MusicBox, seems to be a potentially interesting replacement.

EDIT: specified the update procedure doesn't work for Raspberry Pi 1, as janui and I found out later in the thread. I don't want readers to be misled by my original comment.
