It also works with the IQAudIO Pi-DAC on the latest version of Raspian -- please see http://iqaudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/IQaudIO_Doc.pdf for details. Shairport Sync compiles and runs pretty well on the built-in sound card of a Raspberry Pi model B under Raspian. Due to the limitations of the sound card, you wouldn't mistake the output for HiFi, but it's really not too shabby. USB-connected sound cards work well, so long as the wired Ethernet port is not in use -- WiFi is fine if the network is not too busy. However, driving any USB-based audio output device is glitchy if you are using Ethernet at the same time or if you're on a busy WiFi network. It works, but it's very glitchy. This seems to be due to a known problem -- see http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=23544 -- and it will hopefully be fixed in a forthcoming update to Raspian. @@ -58,7 +58,7 @@ Debian, Ubuntu and Raspian users can get the basics with: Building Instructions --------------------- -If you're interested in Shairport Sync for OpenWrt, there's an OpenWrt package at https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport. +If you're interested in Shairport Sync for OpenWrt, there's an OpenWrt package at https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport.
