Sound on jack on Raspberry 3 ?

[vincen]

Hi

To replace some audio chromecast I’m thinking to use some Raspberry 3 I have already. I succeeded to configure Wifi on it with LibeElec so everything is going well so far. My only issue is how to get audio on jack output of Raspberry ?? I have tried the 3 Alsa options offered in settings of PMP but no success, it always goes out through HDMI which is not an option as audio will go ut directly on some amplified speakers (audio only zones !⁾.

Thanks

When I tried this with an older version, I had to type in this in a terminal window
amixer cset numid=3 1

There might be a better way to do it, actually.
I remember a thread for Rasplex around here somewhere, but I can’t find it anymore.

However, if you are considering an audio-only client, I recommend you to set up a headless Rasplex on your Pi.
It can already do what no other Plex client currently can: gapless playback and loudness levelling. It needs a bit of tinkering though.

Suggestions for the future: Headless RPi support!

This is super rough, but it’s a start. I use this hat for digital audio, it’s cheap and high quality. Download https://files.plexapp.com/elan/plexamp-v1.0.5-pi.tar.gz Get a server.json file from existing Plexamp install, install in /home/pi/.config/Plexamp/. Sign out and back into your existing install to get a new identifier/token. Install node.js on the Pi. $ curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_9.x | sudo -E bash - $ sudo apt install -y nodejs Unpack plexamp-v1.0.5-pi.tar.gz in /ho…

Yep thanks for suggestion but looks like PMP solution is easier to setup and get working (unless it’s able to do video too which is useless in my case !).
