I installed DAC pHAT and use the one line command to install it => nice! good sound!
But i still have a problem: i installed raspotify to play spotify music.
It works correctly.
Then i installed squeezelite to play music from my LMS server. it works nice too!
But if i start to play spotify music, i can’t play LMS music at the same time.
And if i play LMS music first i can’t play spotify music at the same time!
Do you have an idea about the reason ?
Can i help you with log or anything?
I try the same on a rpi2 and have no problem using defaut sound card
I will try to look at ALSA’s dmix plugin but i’m not expert.
But i think the problem is since software phat dac installation. Because, if i try to listen 2 music at the same time, i have no problem on a rpi2 without phat dac, but if i use phat dac, it doesn’t work.
is there anything in the phatdac software installation that blocks the crossfade?
I just look about dmix plugin, and find the difference between the two configuration. on rpi2 i use analog output on wich dmix is activated by defaut, not on digital output.
I’m trying to activated it.
i will inform you about result
Beware that on Stretch dmix appears to be broken in subtle ways that cause a crash in Pi VU Meter. I tend to use Pulse with the configuration documented here: https://gist.github.com/Gadgetoid/3301cec3e47495e75b31d3120d8f17d9 and keep the ALSA stack as simple as possible.
Yesterday, i tried with DMIX but impossible to work with. After that i tried another solution with pulse audio but not better, and finally your solution: IT WORKS.
