Not using mmap makes no difference unfortunately. It does work very well limited to 16-bit though!

I am up and running with USB DAC except that:
If I leave -a blank then 16/44 audio crackles but 24-bit plays fine.
If I force 16-bit output then no more crackles but presumably no 24-bit either (no easy way to check). I still get high-res sampling rates.

Which DAC? Squeezelite is runnng on what hardware? Which Linux distro?
Finally found some time for testing with my new MF M1 DAC.
It runs nicely up to 96k with Daphile.
With PiCorePlayer, I get crackling. Not the occasional pops I had with the old DAC, but crackling all along. Not (obvious?) on all tracks though. For what ever reason.
Tried more or less all ALSA settings Tomek recommended the last few pages.
Output is
-o front:CARD=M2496,DEV=0
I tried slipping in "hw" in there, no luck.
The list seems to say my DAC can only due 48, whilst a VF II Dac can do 96. Not sure that's true. Tried the setting for the VF II but no sound then.
Will continue to play around a bit more.
Well, new Version is out. But trying to connect via ssh I suddenly get this (xxxx'ed out some crucial figures):
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!
Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!
It is also possible that a host key has just been changed.
The fingerprint for the DSA key sent by the remote host is
e9:29:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:de:f3:ea.
Please contact your system administrator.
Add correct host key in /Users/topa/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.
Offending DSA key in /Users/topa/.ssh/known_hosts:1
DSA host key for 192.168.xxxxxxxxx has changed and you have requested strict checking.
Host key verification failed.
Huh?????
That is an indication that the system has to generate a new ssh key. Your PC still has the old key stored, and detects a mismatch. You will have to remove the old key from /Users/topa/.ssh/known_hosts - it will be line 1.
This is a case where a swift single Linux command line puts things back on an even keel with ease. I have no idea how to do it in the graphical enviroment of a mac though. Graphical user interfaces are scary after living with Linux![]()
I still find these command lines scary.
But mainly because I have no idea of even the most basic commands.
I can only copy & paste and see what happens.
Trying to learn though, I was quite fluent in DOS back in the days, so I'll get there sooner or later... ;-)
Thank you all for your advice and patience !!!
