Hi,

I’m trying to use balenasound on a Pi4, image is up and running on newest release, but no AirPlay. There are tons of messages in the console like this:

airplay Waiting for audioblock to start…  
airplay Waiting for audioblock to start…  
airplay Waiting for audioblock to start…

Any ideas? Logs also attached… Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide…

Hello @azhokie

Welcome to the balena Forums. I have asked our balenaSound developers to take a look at this issue.

Hi @azhokie, this typically indicates that the audio service was not able to start up. Can you check the services section in your balenaCloud section and see if the `audio` service is `Running`? If not, you can click on the log icon to see the audio service logs, that would probably give us an indication of what is wrong.

You can also try rebooting or restarting the services from the dashboard and see if that helps, maybe there was a temporary problem with your device.

Hi @AZHokie – did you ever get this running?
