Title: Id NUC Lost Audio output
Post by: This2ShallPass on June 27, 2023, 05:04:39 pm: I somehow lost audio output from my Id NUC (Id:24.0.17 MC:26.0.107-5 Engen:1.0.69) today. I successfully used it last night. Can't think of anything that's changed (no evidence of power outage or spikes).

I have TOSLINK to my Rotel integrated amp (where the DAC is), and my configuration screenshot is attached. I can't seem to get it to play correctly - included error screenshot - so I restored a library backup from earlier. Now it SAYS the music is playing correctly, but still no sound coming out. I'm trying different Audio Device options from the Options screen, but can't get anything to work.

HELP!

I even found a firmware update for my Rotel, and ran that cycle (to be clear, the problem existed prior to that, and after that). I should add: I am able to playback successfully on my Windows desktop (MC client), and to my iPhone.

DSP Studio > Output format

Force everything to 48Khz as a test.

Post by: This2ShallPass on June 27, 2023, 07:57:12 pm: Sure did. What I thought was more important was the detail about the output to 'ALSA'. That's on the Audio Device settings in Options. I can't figure out why none of them work.

Could the DAC on my Rotel be somehow fried???
