I'll try to explain how pulseaudio-dlna works on my computer with my audio system: - start pulseaudio-dlna on your computer. I usually start it from console and be sure that port 8080 (it's by default) is open on your computer. - start audio (or video) program with source sound - start your audio receiver. It depends on particular device how much time it needs to start and appear in Pulse Audio Volume Control - start Pulse Audio Volume Control - on "Playback" tab you should see the program with audio source and at its right side you can select particular sound card. On this place your DLNA device should be visible. I may need to adjust volume in your audio source program. HTH Kind regards Georgi
