[Voyage-linux] MPD issue?

[Protech Caribsurf]

Thanks for the prompt response Punky - I was already running with the format
line commented out. Have commented out the other lines below that as per
your suggestion but no luck, still does it. I am also running a NAS as my
library. MPD version is 0.16.0

If you skip around quickly selecting songs from the MPoD playlist it seems
unable to 'lock' on almost any song - you get the distorted play and have to
stop the song and restart it. It'll then pay the list but occasionally have
a problem on subsequent songs.

Rüdiger, are you referring to the DAC's firmware?

Thanks all
Derek

Hi Derek,

1. Remove the lines in /etc/mpd.conf about sampling/bit rate, like below,
and restart mpd by "/etc/init.d/mpd restart"

audio_output {
type "alsa"
name "My ALSA Device"
device "hw:0,0" # optional
# format "44100:16:2" # optional
# mixer_device "default" # optional
# mixer_control "PCM" # optional
# mixer_index "0" # optional
}

2. Do you also USB disk device for storing music files? If so, use network
drive instead (NFS/SAMBA).

3. What MPD version you are using?

Regards,
Punky
