Are you doing something unique in the Settings / SqueezeLite or are you using the default settings?

Melvin Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 @vortecjr.. now that summer is in full force I've been re-configuring my system and happily stumbled upon your "Sonicorbiter - Chord device support" thread. I have a Qute EX which I can now use with my mRendu sans USB-SPDIF converter. Thank you for making this happen .. very much appreciated. Sounds terrific too. Link to comment

Henry53 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 My MR constantly drops out and will not restart or reboot. Going to SonicOrbitor site it recognises MR in the system but will not allow manage or reboot. System is MacBook Air / MR/ iFi iDSD Black Label then Vincent pre power / Audio Physic speakers. System does recognise Naim Uniti and always fires up to the NU. What can I do? Link to comment
vortecjr Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 You need to verify the power supply is working. If the power supply is working then I would pick up a new micro SD card from our website.

Demerara Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I have a microRendu (1.3 board) running Version 2.7 that has suddenly refused to ID any USB DAC connected to it. It ran flawlessly before it stopped working (outputting to a Musical Paradise MP-D2 DAC (XMOS). I went through the recommended boot up sequence numerous times, tried different USB cables, , different network cables, 4 different DACs and still nothing. The power supply is a HD Plex. The unit is found on the network. The DAC Diagnostics in every trial I have done shows: No audio devices found. Attach a USB DAC to this system. And the System settings shows: Audio device list Error in alsa-capabilities (v0.9.1): aplay did not find any soundcard I do not have a custom DAC setup and the output is set to USB. I have reinserted the SD card and updated and rebooted a few times. This is the boot up process I used as posted by Jesus: Do the following in order: Power down the DAC and the microRendu Power up the DAC Power up the microRendu It worked perfectly fine before so I have no idea what is going on now. What kind of other troubleshooting steps can I do to confirm the USB output is dead? I see scant information on the web regarding a bad USB output on the microRendu but it seems that may have happened to my unit. Any suggestions? Link to comment
Elon Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 My new OpticalRendu is having occasional problems connecting to my T+A DAC8 (non-DSD). It is new this past week, and it has worked the first several times I tried playing. However, a couple of times now, it seems to have issues sync'ing up with my DAC8. The relays click temporarily in my DAC and it displays '44.1' indicating a signal, but it immediately drops. The first time this happened i turned off both the dAC and Rendu and rebooted them. That isn't working now. Here is the output of a "mpd status" from my Mac laptop.

thotdoc Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I was listening to music. It abruptly stopped and there were no input lights on my DAC (Yggi). I went through a long process with the YGGI, turning it off for hours, switching cables...nothing fixed it. All lights are blue on the Rendu chain and data lights are flickering, no input lights on YGGI. I ran Roon into another system in the house, and I got music on that system. I removed the USB from the Rendu chain and put it into a Mac 'Music Preference-Sound' found the Yggi AND the input selector lights went on on the YGGI. So, the problem is likely in the OR chain. oR powered by Sonore PS : green light is on oR, SPS does not have lights. oModule powered by LPS-1.2 green lights are on both. Before I get into taking apart the chain...which I do not know what that will do since the lights are on every part, has anyone had this experience?
