[SOLVED] Get DLNA up and running...no sound so far...

[chrichri]

Hello,

I would like to use a Raspberry Pi and RuneAudio to stream music and video sound, in future I would like to build a multiroom setup.

What I did: I took a Raspberry Pi 3B+ with a Hifiberry DAC+ Pro sound board and installed the image from this post: .

Installation and first boot was without problems. The sound board was immediately detected. In the settings, I set a static IP, turned on the DLNA service, and chose the hifiberry as output device.

In my media server, which is a Synology DS215j NAS, RuneAudio popped up as output device. When streaming music to RuneAudio, I hear however, nothing.

I also tried to use the RPi's standard 3.5mm audio jack, no sound either.

Any advice is appreciated on how to debug this further. Thank you in advance for your comments.

Best regards
Chris

I use mine a little different, so maybe others can chime to help. I point my Rune player at my NAS as a drive to playback the source files "from" rather than using an app on the NAS to stream them "to" the Rune player. I think your arrangement can be done, but I haven't tried it. I have a multi-zone preamp and allow it to distribute the music to multiple rooms using hard-wired speaker wire runs to each room. I know in this age of wireless, this is a pretty old school approach.

Hello,

thanks for your comments.

The link to this post was the solution! Thanks for that janui. After following the described procedure, I had sound on the right channel. I further had to mute-unmute the channels in alsamixer to get both working.

All the steps I did to get it working:
- Update RuneAudio to get the lates bugfixes.
- Update Synology DMS to get the latest media server.
- Reboot both systems.
- ssh into RuneAudio and check in alsamixer that the channels are unmuted and volume is turned on.
- In RuneAudio UI, followed the steps in the post described above.

Thanks again to everyone!

Best regards
Chris
