No. It doesn't work at all for all and every combination of -a hw:*,* (see below). > What? I get the impression you've fixed it by using ‘-a’. I never actually said that. With the Arduino 'Bonnet' there is only one sound card installed, so that's the default: pi@minster-music:~/Music/Playlist1 $ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: sndrpihifiberry [snd_rpi_hifiberry_dac], device 0: HifiBerry DAC HiFi pcm5102a-hifi-0 [HifiBerry DAC HiFi pcm5102a-hifi-0] Subdevices: 0/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 When I was doing this with the USB Adaptor, I determined the values for hw:*,* by trial and error because I failed to spot the logic. My reading of the above is that by any interpretation hw:0,0 should work but it gives: pi@minster-music:~/Music/Playlist1 $ mpg321 -m -a hw:0,0 01\ Marche\ Episcopale.mp3 High Performance MPEG 1.0/2.0/2.5 Audio Player for Layer 1, 2, and 3.
