I got the Pirate Audio - SMOL Speaker. I can’t get it to work after trying for days and countless hours.
I’ve installed, re-installed, I’ve done it manually, I’ve done it automatically. I’ve tested and tweaked and tried various different Rasp Pi OS’s and nothing. I’ve tried it on Pi 4, Pi 2, Pi Zero W. I’ve tried with 4 different Micro SD cards.
I am stuck with a black screen that is lit up and during setup phases occasionally flashes like it is doing something, but ultimately nothing I just want it to show an address so I can try and configure the rest of it.
I’m about to chuck it out the window and then run it over.
Do I just have a bad one? Is there something else I can be doing? Thanks.
UPDATE: I got the server to work @ address 127.0.0.1:6680. I have a song loaded. The song plays in the browser.
Crazy thing? The buttons on the Pirate Audio work. I can switch songs and turn volume up and down BUT there is no sound coming out of the Pirate Audio speaker. Looking at the Rasp Pi sound output, it does say: snd_rpi_hifiberry_dac but no sound coming out. It does show on the browser though that sound is playing. The screen is also BLACK, but lit up. No image on screen.
