Thanks.

In the Streambox admin page in the Audio Configuration setting – I can’t change it – the soundcard down arrow is greyed out

When I select System Management > Audio Devices I get this:

0 [ALSA           ]: bcm2835_alsa - bcm2835 ALSA

                      bcm2835 ALSA

I can reboot and shutdown the RPi from Streambox System Management – so I know that Streambox is talking to the RPi

After reboot if I start the Stream I get the following status message:

AUDIO ENCODER RESTART: WAIT…

The Stream log reads:

     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/streambox-darkice.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)

The Stream configuration is:

So I am baffled.

Try changing soundcard configuration to a setting corresponding to output of aplay -l

HI,

Looking for help with using Streambox with RPi 4 and a Zoom H5 set up as an audio USB interface.

When starting the Stream in Streambox I get the following error message:

AUDIO ENCODER ERROR: CAN'T OPEN AUDIO DEVICE

Rpi Is connected to network via ethernet

Zoom H5 has USB configured for Audio interface

Using a Rasperian OS – the RPi will detect and identify the Zoom H5, the Steambox wont.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Looking to use this roe Reveil this weekend.

Regards,

Anton
