Announcing Snakeoil Measurements 1.3.0

[Coacharnold]

OK .... so further analysis on this problem til Agent Kieth gets back on line (prayers AK)   I've now got Snake Oil 1.30 running on my main music server box with Ubuntu 20.04 ...  and my backup server running Ubuntu 22.04 .   I've even gone so far as to switch hard drives between the boxes and repeat all my testing  (exact same hardware but just to be sure it wasn't an issue on my end with one of the bios)

Here is what I get:

Ubuntu 20.04

It shows squeezlite installed but it doesn't run at all.  It spits out a log that just gives me:
**** 2024-01-17T18:32:46
**** Squeezelite (ralph)

Start Player: cd /var/www;_NAME="Basement Stereo" _OUTPUT="hw:0,1" _FORMAT="pcm" _OPTIONS="" _MIPV4="24:4f:4f:24:08:8c" /var/www/players/Squeezelite-ralph/init /var/www/players/Squeezelite-ralph 2>&1;/var/www/players/Squeezelite-ralph/start /var/www/players/Squeezelite-ralph 2>&1;

LMS is working beautifully on the other players  in my house i one of which is an on older version of Snake Oil Server.   which is working flawlessly throughout ... an is my main listening spot


Ubuntu 22.04

A little difference here.  It shows squeeze-lite running,  but is not actually giving me any sound.  I have tested this on the spidf outputs and the analog outputs and get nothing.  and again this server can play to the other players in the house


Both machines behaved the same in all of the configurations I tested them with,   no sound from on board analog or digital.  The only thing I didn't do was test USB.

I noticed in both situations when I restarted REST the alsa mixer system volume would be set to zero.  When I found this,  I thought for sure it would work,  but once adjusted back to 100% still no sound.


This is a real bummer,  but I will survive...  AK please take care of you and yours before dealing with this BS.  .......   If anyone wants to jump in here, any Ideas?
