Plexamp Raspberry Pi and Allo Digione

Plex Labs

Plex Version 1.30.2.6563
Plexamp 4.6.2

I have a Raspberry Pi with Dietpi and an Allo Digione on top to feed my speaker with S/PDIF.
It always worked trouble free with Roon.

I followed the instructions from:

I can see the Plexamp player but when I start a track the play window closed after seconds.

(I tried it before without the Allo Digione and the default jack 3.5mm output, this worked)

The Allo Digione still works flawless with Roon though.

How can I get it to work with the Allo Digione and the S/PDIF output?

Have you gone into settings and told it to use the DigiOne?

Here’s mine as an example:

Thanks @e10kstarfire, but I already checked that.
I only have only one option: Default.

Hi ,
Is Roon running at the same time as Plex or did you wipe Roon end-point of the pi… Could be that if roon is still running it will not allow PlexAmp to control the board… just a thought.

alternative is to check the Raspberry config file… reboot it … and try again

Hmm, only other thing I can think is dtoverlay set correctly in /boot/config.txt ?

I don’t use DietPi either…

Thanks both,

@menacevenice no Roon is not running, but I’ll delete it tonight to see what will happen.
I’ll check the config file too then.

(I tried the Raspberry Pi OS too earlier this week, but could not get the Allo Digione running)

it’s possible you have an issue with user groups/permissions … DietPi usually assumes a root user, and by default the dietpi user has very limited permissions

there is also an option in dietpi-config (audio options → enable software auto-conversions) that sometimes helps in cases where a device isn’t receiving audio in a format that it likes

it sounds like the allo digione is already enabled correctly at the OS level (else it wouldn’t work with roon) … and plexamp headless can coexist with roon … each app will release the audio device (allowing another app to use it) shortly after playback pauses or stops

if all else fails and you need to start from scratch, the following Plexamp installer has some support for DietPi and the allo devices …

Thanks,

digione is present in boot/config.txt, and as you said Roon works well so that should be ok.

Could be permissions indeed as well, I 'll look at that too and the dietpi-config.

As everything else failed - at least with my knowledge - I used the script

and that worked well!

Thanks all.
