I see there are plenty of websites that sell refurbished Dell and HP desktops (and laptops), which is the most reputable/best one to purchase from?

I have a Noco GB40 and it's worked as intended numerous times. Build quality is great. I went straight for Noco because I was concerned about the longevity of the cheaper models. Expensive, yes. Happy, yes.

Is there anyone reputable on the forum that does headphone rewiring? I have a sentimental pair of HD201's that need new cables.

How I don’t know, but with a bit of fiddling I have finally gotten the Raspberry Pi with Volumio to work a little more consistently. Thanks to all again

Thank you to all that replied and gave advice. Volumio does seem far easier to setup and worked for a while but while tying this message, Spotify on my phone lost connection/does not show my Rasberry Pi anymore. I'll read some more but it was so simple to setup initially.

Awesome, thanks.

I’ll investigate the other option, thanks. Can Volumio and Moode be run headless?

Thanks for the replies. I've done a fresh install, managed to get the output via USB/DAC from audio on the Pi but not from Raspotify. At least I know I got the hardware settings correct. Now on to Raspotify.

Removed PulseAudio now the default in Alsamixer shows as the USB. Everything I know if points to the USB as default but still no sound.

In Alsamixer, the default is PulseAudio if that makes any difference. I think I need to start with a fresh install and try again.

Thanks Gavinbirss, I will try that one again. I did follow it previously and found the /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf to edit. That's when I got the sound to go to HDMI. I must have mixed up the card numbers.

I tried editing various configuration files (/boot/config.txt and an alsa.config file) as per various tutorials online and changed the settings to the card number of the USB sound device. As mentioned previously, I managed (by mistake) to send audio via HDMI to my TV. I have reset all files to...

Thanks, I’ll get it back up tomorrow and post that info.

I'm completely new to Raspberry Pi but was given a 3 and decided to try and make a Spotify streamer out of it. I have managed to install the OS as well as the necessary to be able to get Spotify working out of the headphone socket. What I can't get right is getting the audio out via USB to my...

Recently discovered John Smith. Two tracks I’m enjoying so far: Far too good. Save my life.
