Raspberry pi 3b+, rasberry pi os 64bits.
As the subject says. HDMI audio was working after initial setup. I followed the systemd instructions to make the pi start up Plexamp on restart and ever since that audio has not worked. I am not sure if any of that is related, that is just the sequence of events I experienced.
How can I trouble shoot this? Where should I look? What should I check?
Have you used other audio outputs that continued to work after reboot?
I’m streaming to a BT Speaker, and I also lost audio with System Service.
tpavey’s suggestion to use User Services fixed it for me (thanks!)

I have a Pi 3B+ I want to get working again with plexamp.
Do i NEED to install the 64 bit Version of Rasberry Pi Os for the new plexamp Pi Beta to work??? @elan
Most Pi users seem to use the 32 Bit version even though its an ARM64 CPU
Seems off-topic for this thread? I’m not sure, but I’d expect you probably need 64-bit OS.
I tried all the audio ouputs. I did not try the individual user yet. I’ll give it a try in a little bit and report back. Thanks. I missed this in the other thread
@Tony_T ok so I tried what @tgp-2 did to switch to a user. I am getting an error that says failed to enable unit: Unit file plexamp.service does not exist.
Did you place the service in ~/.config/systemd/user/
(you may need to mkdir if directory does not exist)
Also you should disable and remove the other one first.
sudo systemctl stop plexamp.service
sudo systemctl disable plexamp.service
sudo rm /usr/lib/systemd/system/plexamp.service
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl reset-failed
@Tony_T Doh!!! Yup forgot to create the file. Was not working until your genius brain told me to remove the old one. I followed @tgp-2 instructions from the post in the other thread and now these additional lines from you above and you have set my music free. You get all the kudos my friend. Thank you thank you. For others who may have the same problem I summarize here.
This post Future of Plexamp on Raspberry Pi? - #219 by tpavey be sure to create the folder and put the plexamp.service file in that folder. Then remove the old one. I did not know I had to do this. Once I removed the old one everything worked. When I say remove the old one that is because I created a daemon as sudo the first time as elan instructed but for some reason, it caused an issue on restart and I lost audio. But now it is all fixed as a user service. No idea why. But here we are.
Audio Device from the pi web browser is default and sample rate is strict. Im showing 44.1 stereo on a AIFF file that is 16bit. Which is exactly what it is supposed to be.
Again thank you.
I had HDMI output working at some point, but it’s not working anymore. The above did not fix it.
The above is to have rPi Plexamp start on boot as a User Service, has nothing to do with HDMI
Right, I misinterpreted the fact that it was marked as “solution” as meaning it somehow fixed the HDMI audio issue mentioned in the title.
