So far it seems to work mostly fine! I've overclocked it a little bit (I mean, check the website we're on..) which seems to have helped it out. Also I found it was crashing a bit, but swapped the power cable to a better one and that seems to have fixed it.
Here's my /boot/config.txt with the overclock set:
Code:
initramfs volumio.initrd
arm_freq=950
sdram_freq=500
over_voltage=2
boot_delay=4
gpu_mem=16
max_usb_current=1
dtparam=audio=on
audio_pwm_mode=2
dtparam=i2c_arm=on
disable_splash=1
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
include userconfig.txt
It's currently playing Spotify via the spotify connect plugin, just appears as a device in the Spotify devices screen. I did once manage to trip it up; switched too quickly from spotify to playing from my NAS and it started playing both. A reboot cured that, but the takeaway is that it's not entirely without fault. Not sure if that's down to volumio itself or the fact I'm on a low power system with limited ram (Volumio recommend 1GB, this pi has 256MB - minus 16 for the GPU of course using that config).
Still waiting for that HDMI to toslink adapter to arrive, the sound quality is noticeably a bit crackly and distorted from the headphone socket.
