Pirate audio no more working

Ok, I did test this with a first-generation Pirate-Audio-Speaker HAT using my own project “Pi-Webradio”:

  • Install the latest PiOS 64bit lite on my Pi-Zero-2W (version 2024-10-22)
  • git clone https://github.com/bablokb/pi-webradio.git
  • cd pi-webradio
  • git switch next
  • sudo tools/install myusername
  • sudo tools/install-pirate-audio
  • sudo reboot

It just works, i.e. after the reboot I can run speaker-test or pi-webradio.py -p 5 (play channel 5) or mpg123 http://orf-live.ors-shoutcast.at/oe1-q2a.

I don’t think you have to repeat all of this. The only difference in my configuration compared to yours that I can see is that I turned standard audio off, i.e.

dtparam=audio=off

So that is the first thing you should try.
