Raspberry pi 3B+ running 64bit Raspberry Pi OS. Accessing from a Mac using Firefox Browser.
Everything is working great. Currently running HDMI out on the Raspberry Pi to a audio extractor for sake of testing. Waiting for my HAT/DAC to arrive.
Under audio output on the Plexamp Pi my audio device output is PulseAudio Sound and I see a lot of options to choose form in this menu.
I know my HDMI is coming from vc4-hdmi which is the last on on this list. When I actually select it and select away from PulseAudio Plexamp pauses the music if its playing, so I hit play again, then it moves forward in play for like 2 seconds then goes backwards for 1 or 2 seconds then tries to play then it pauses again. If I refresh the browser page it will try to play again and fail. So I figure ok go back to pulseaudio then. When I select PulseAudio and I hit play, no sound comes out and the browser window shows play for 2 seconds then reverse a second then stop. Or it just doesn’t work at all.
If I restart the raspberry pi with Pulse Audio selected before I restart then everything plays again like normal. Just wanted to share this weird thing that happens.
I don’t know if the output choices for the Pi need to be configured in the Raspberry pi or if I need to do something in raspberry pi OS to make them “active” or not? Not sure if that list can be shortened up or only reveal options that are “plugged in” so to speak. Anyway just throwing stuff out there.
Keep up the good work. Now that I know switcthing away from the output source will cause weirdness I am just not going to switch away from it.

Plexamp uses ALSA so not sure if maybe PulseAudionos interfering in some way?
Maybe? Probably? Been doing some reading. Overall, seems like Raspberry Pi and the raspberry Pi OS the version I am running is Debian Bullseye. ALSA and Raspberry Pi have some issues/weirdness coming out of HDMI which is how I am running it at the moment. To really find out what is going on with HDMI audio I will have to dig deeper. I am too lazy to do that right now. From what I gather it seems there is a history of HDMI audio issues with Raspberry Pis.
Gonna roll with a PiHatDac to avoid going through the hdmi. PulseAudio is doing the job at the moment I am just not going to change outputs off of it.

I see an error in there
May 08, 2022 19:00:58.569 [0x7a7fc180] ERROR - BASS: Error initializing device 3 with sample rate 44100 and flags 00000000 (46).
That means the device is busy. Possibly a combination of (a) enabling sample rate matching and (b) something else having exclusive access to the device?
Hmmm, thank you for that. Let me think. I used ps aux to see what was running on the pi. See below:

To my inexperienced eye it doesn’t look like anything is out of order.
It could be a sample rate issue or maybe even a channels issues. HDMI obviously allows for more than stereo and can hit hi res. I wonder if there is any channel mixing or maybe channel mapping issues. I have bit rate set to strict. Ill be playing around with settings over the next few days and maybe I an isolate. I’m now curious.
