Audio won't work without monitor #187

jegskjonnerikke commented 1 year ago

I am having trouble with using the looper just for audio. It won't play without a monitor connected to the hdmi-port. I am currently using it with a DAC (IQaudIO Pi-DAC Pro). Is there any way of solving this issue, so it can loop audio only?

Hi, I have a suspicion what the problem could, be that it does not run without a HDMI connected... could you provide the log files? (see https://github.com/adafruit/pi_video_looper#troubleshooting) and can you confirm is also does not output anything on the 3.5mm jack? cheers

could you maybe change your code like this and see if it plays audio then: https://github.com/adafruit/pi_video_looper/commit/8a5f43952a6d4ded215e03d8873bed2a704e26ad this should enable the whole thing to run even if no monitor is connected
