--- Quote from: penger10 on February 19, 2024, 03:16:11 pm ---Today I ended up doing a clean install of Linux Mint & the proper 64bit JRiver MC file AND IT WORKS! My iFi zen DAC indicates the proper bitrates for the files I'm playing and the audio path on MC agrees.  I ended up using the iFi audio device preceded by Front:  Now the audio is playing great!  Thanks for the help everyone!

I only have a stereo (2 channel) system and I'm not sure what I need to do about playing videos from my library.  I don't get any dialog with my current Sound settings, just music and some effects.  Celluloid plays it fine, so I'm assuming my 'bit perfect' settings I like for might need to be changed for movies?

BTW, this is the output for the terminal command yet again:

You probably need to use MC's DSP studio to mix down multitrack to stereo.
Choose 2 channel output and JRSS mixing.
If the source is stereo it won't be touched.

Thank you Bob!  That was exactly the info I needed.  EVERYTHING is working properly now.
Can't thank you all enough for helping me troubleshoot my install.  I really wanted to get this running under Linux. My HTPC that I use is too old to upgrade to WIN11 as it doesn't have the TPM chip.  I really didn't want to have to buy a new system, being retired and all, and now I don't need to!  Working Great!
