please find an update of my multi room setup
Maybe it can be usefull for other ones
I’m using Volumio and Balenasound
I’ve took a raspberry 3 as a Master Snapcast server, with Balenasound
Why not Volumio? Simply because It didn’t worked out of the box with the audio jack, don’t want to loose time with that, also I got issue to put spotify airplay etc…
Too long to configure in few words
I’ve setup in 5 minutes with Balena Sound, as Multi Room master, working perfectly with Spotify, airplay etc…
Then, as Multi Room Clients, I’ve took my 5 Orange Pi’s Zero with the DAC
I’ve installed the Volumio 3 build from VyacheslavS on orange Pi Zero’s 1 LTS , and by curiosity, i’ve took the Orange PI PC version, and burned the card.
then, I’ve activated the SSH on the volumio, and installed the Snapcast client in command line.
As it’s a Volumio community edition, I don’t have Myvolumio (wich is perfect)
Then, I’ve configured Snapcast client to connect to the Snapcast server (the raspebrry with Balena Sound)
And it’s worked great !
I’ve also installed the Snapclient on my android phone, and I can control each zone individually.
The Orange Pi Zero is really great, low cost, to use as a multi room client
Took days, but now it’s working, I just need to put power amplifier, or maybe use USB Dac to make the sound perfect.
