Maybe a problem with the connected USB-Device? I use a Griffin PowerWave, the opposite of a small and cheap Audio-Adapter. It`s set as OSS-Device.
Thanks for reply,

It could be an issue with the audio device, or the mpd audio settings. Have you tried several mp3 audio streams?

Does /dev/sound/dsp exist? If you do something like "cat /bin/ls > /dev/sound/dsp" do you hear static on the audio output?

I had a similar problem, couldn't figure it out until I noticed that my wireless LED wasn't blinking...it couldn't connect to the slay radio stream. I found a different one and it worked like a charm. Seems like for me, at least, I can't connect to the example radio stream. Try a few others that you know work....

I tried several streams, nothing works.

Code: Select all

root@OpenWrt:/dev/sound# ls -als
   0 drwxr-xr-x    1 root     root            0 Jan  1  1970 .
   0 drwxr-xr-x    1 root     root            0 Jan  1  1970 ..
   0 crw-------    1 root     root      14,   3 Jan  1  1970 dsp
   0 crw-------    1 root     root      14,   0 Jan  1  1970 mixer
   0 crw-------    1 root     root      14,  16 Jan  1  1970 mixer1

DSP exist, but i get an error after your tip:

Code: Select all

root@OpenWrt:~# cat /bin/ls > /dev/sound/dsp
-ash: cannot create /dev/sound/dsp: Interrupted system call

Nothing to hear. I will try the WLAN-Setup, but i suggest
also a problem with the Audio-Adapter.
Next step is to a buy a new one.

Thanks,

I have had good luck with the SYBA USB-audio adapter, and zero experience with others. Based on what I have seen on the forums, picking a good alternative audio adapter is tricky. If possible, find the SYBA adapter that I used.
