Unable to get HDMI Output with ALSA on rasberry pi 3B. #1828

Closed aditya-gitte closed 8 months ago

What happened?

Options: -h, --help show this help. -d, --daemon daemonise. -j, --justDaemoniseNoPIDFile daemonise without a PID file. -k, --kill kill the existing shairport daemon. -V, --version show version information. -c, --configfile=FILE read configuration settings from FILE. Default is /etc/shairport-sync.conf.

The following general options are for backward compatibility. These and all new options have settings in the configuration file, by default /etc/shairport-sync.conf: -v, --verbose -v print debug information; -vv more; -vvv lots. -p, --port=PORT set RTSP listening port. -a, --name=NAME set advertised name. -L, --latency=FRAMES [Deprecated] Set the latency for audio sent from an unknown device. The default is to set it automatically. -S, --stuffing=MODE set how to adjust current latency to match desired latency, where "basic" inserts or deletes audio frames from packet frames with low processor overhead, and "soxr" uses libsoxr to minimally resample packet frames -- moderate processor overhead. "soxr" option only available if built with soxr support. -B, --on-start=PROGRAM run PROGRAM when playback is about to begin. -E, --on-stop=PROGRAM run PROGRAM when playback has ended. For -B and -E options, specify the full path to the program, e.g. /usr/bin/logger. Executable scripts work, but must have the appropriate shebang (#!/bin/sh) in the headline. -w, --wait-cmd wait until the -B or -E programs finish before continuing. -o, --output=BACKEND select audio output method. -m, --mdns=BACKEND force the use of BACKEND to advertize the service. if no mdns provider is specified, shairport tries them all until one works. -r, --resync=THRESHOLD [Deprecated] resync if error exceeds this number of frames. Set to 0 to stop resyncing. -t, --timeout=SECONDS go back to idle mode from play mode after a break in communications of this many seconds (default 120). Set to 0 never to exit play mode. --statistics print some interesting statistics -- output to the logfile if running as a daemon. --tolerance=TOLERANCE [Deprecated] allow a synchronization error of TOLERANCE frames (default 88) before trying to correct it. --password=PASSWORD require PASSWORD to connect. Default is not to require a password. --logOutputLevel log the output level setting -- useful for setting maximum volume. -M, --metadata-enable ask for metadata from the source and process it. --metadata-pipename=PIPE send metadata to PIPE, e.g. --metadata-pipename=/tmp/shairport-sync-metadata. The default is /tmp/shairport-sync-metadata. -g, --get-coverart send cover art through the metadata pipe. -u, --use-stderr log messages through STDERR rather than the system log.

Available mDNS backends: avahi

Available audio backends: alsa (default) pa jack pipe stdout dummy

Settings and options for the audio backend "alsa": -d output-device set the output device, default is "default". -c mixer-control set the mixer control name, default is to use no mixer. -m mixer-device set the mixer device, default is the output device. -i mixer-index set the mixer index, default is 0. hardware output devices: "hw:Headphones" "hw:vc4hdmi"

There are no settings or options for the audio backend "pa".

There are no settings or options for the audio backend "jack".

Settings and options for the audio backend "pipe": specify the pathname of the pipe to write to.

There are no settings or options for the audio backend "stdout".

There are no settings or options for the audio backend "dummy".


- The required output is `hw:vc4hdmi`. So I went to the config file (`/etc/shairport-sync.conf`) and updated this info there along with the name of the speaker

// General Settings general = { name = "Kitchen"; // This means "Hostname" -- see below. This is the name the service will advertise to iTunes. } alsa = { output_device = "hw:vc4hdmi"; }


- Next I when I connect to the device and try to play using airplay no sound is played. Here are the logs that `shairport-sync -v` shows

- Am I missing something here? I don't have any preference for audio backends, so if there is something that handles HDMI output, please do suggest. Thank you in advance

PulseAudio or PipeWire installed?

How did you install Shairport Sync?

A package manager (apt, apt install, yum, pkg, etc.)

Howdy! I was able to get it working by using in General Settings the long name of the output device that is listed in aplay -L 

output_device = "hdmi:CARD=vc4hdmi1,DEV=0";

Thanks for this @MRIO. I tried it on my own Raspberry Pi 3B and had to make two small modifications before it would work:

  1. On my system, the card address is"hdmi:CARD=vc4hdmi,DEV=0", slightly different to yours. For reference, the version of the operating systems is: 
    $ uname -a
Linux RaspberryPi3B 6.1.0-rpi8-rpi-v8 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.1.73-1+rpt1 (2024-01-25) aarch64 GNU/Linux
  2. For Shairport Sync to work, the HDMI output had to be connected to a HDMI system (in my case a TV) and that system had to be powered up. One other thing is that the HDMI receiving system must be capable of accepting audio at 44,100 frames per second.

The version of Shairport Sync in use is 3.3.7, which is pretty ancient; many improvements and important updates have been made since, so it would be well worthwhile updating to the latest.

Hi @mikebrady, FYI, differently than OP I'm running 4.3.2, and I was having the no sound issue on a pi4:

$ uname -a Linux raspberrypi 6.6.22-v8+ #1746 SMP PREEMPT Wed Mar 20 17:19:49 GMT 2024 aarch64 GNU/Linux

$ shairport-sync -V 4.3.2-2-g165431a8-AirPlay2-smi10-OpenSSL-Avahi-ALSA-soxr-sysconfdir:/etc

Keep up the amazing work!

Hi @mikebrady and @MRIO, the above solution does work for me as well. Thanks a lot and keep up the amazing work!

Howdy! I was able to get it working by using in General Settings the long name of the output device that is listed in aplay -L

output_device = "hdmi:CARD=vc4hdmi1,DEV=0";

Step 1 Run shairport-sync -h

You should see result, copy the device with hdmi, for me it's hw:vc4hdmi


Settings and options for the audio backend "alsa":
    -d output-device    set the output device, default is "default".
    -c mixer-control    set the mixer control name, default is to use no mixer.
    -m mixer-device     set the mixer device, default is the output device.
    -i mixer-index      set the mixer index, default is 0.
    hardware output devices:
      "hw:Headphones"
      "hw:vc4hdmi"

Step 2 Edit /etc/shairport-sync.conf, so you have the output device from step 1 (exclude hw:)

alsa = 
{
        output_device = "hdmi:CARD=vc4hdmi,DEV=0"; 
}

Step 3 Restart the service

systemctl restart shairport-sync
