Setup JRiver Media Center 20 In Ubuntu/Linux Mint

--- Quote from: juergen99 on June 02, 2015, 01:06:15 pm ---I recently installed Ubuntu 14.04 on an old laptop following the instructions at the beginning of this thread with no errors. Unfortunately I am unable to get MC to recognize my Bifrost DAC. However, I am able to play music through the DAC using another media player (can't remember the name) so I know the DAC is recognized by Ubuntu and functions. In MC I get the "Something went wrong with playback..." error. I installed and ran pavucontrol. It sees the Bifrost and the onboard sound card is off. In the sound tab in MC under Audio Device there are numerous choices (default:CARD+Intel [ALSA], dmix:CARD=S2, etc.). I chose "pulse [ALSA]". Still not working. Since I was able to listen to music through the laptop/Bifrost the issue seems to be MC. Any ideas?

Either follow the instructions in the tutorial to get pulse working
or
use the hardware device for your DAC (front: something) and setup DSP studio to handle the sample rates your DAC cannot do.
(from a terminal window run /usr/lib/jriver/Media\ Center\ 20/alsacap to see the sample rates your device actually supports).

If all else fails, you can try going through every output listed in MC's Audio Device list one-by-one (test by trying to play a file) until you find one that works.

bob, Awesome Donkey,
I ran the alsacap command and it listed the sample rates as suggested. More importantly it listed the device name of my DAC. It was listed as "S2". It then hit me. S2 stands for Schiit USB version 2. I then went through the device list (with about 24 entries) and chose the one that had both S2 and front. It works!! Thanks ;D
Awesome Donkey:
Great! Glad to see it worked out for you! :)

Due to lightning striking last night and taking out and frying my PC and all its components, network components and my storage array that housed my 73,000+ FLAC music library - most I can't replace anymore (sadly my expensive surge protectors failed), I'm pretty much out of commission for the time being - which might be indefinitely, not sure yet what to do. Fortunately my Android phone still works so I can reply with it. However somebody else might need to take over these tutorials.
