Tidal Connect not playing

Help and Support

I have my Volumio device chosen in Tidal, but not hearing any music when hitting play. I can see the song progressing in Tidal and the Volumio apps. I hear the Volumio start up tone when it plays. I am using an iPhone and have a Raspberry Pi streamer. Any help?? Thank you.

  • Only with Tidal connect, or never a sound?
  • Which version of Volumio do you run, don’t say the latest?
  • Post a log

Thanks for the reply.

  • Only with Tidal connect, or never a sound?

  • A: I have only tried Tidal Connect as a source for my RPi Streamer. As mentioned, I can hear the Volumio start up sound, so I know that the streamer signal is getting to the DAC to amp to speakers. I could try another source (my macbook via USB to the streamer?) as a control. I currently have an ethernet connection from my router to the RPi.

  • Which version of Volumio do you run, don’t say the latest?

  • A: Using Volumio Version: 3.757 Release Date: 17-09-2024

  • Post a log

  • A: I will follow the link and try to get a log started.

Overall, I seem so close. Tidal Connect sees my streamer as a device, it’s selected, Volumio sees Tidal, but just no signal coming out of the streamer to produce sound when I hit play.

Thanks for the help. Greatly appreciated.

Just did some searching and it looks like I would NOT connect my mac to the RPi via USB but rather use the mac as a network drive that Volumio could access. I’ll give that at try to see if I can get some sound.

To test a other source, just use web radio :wink:

Yes! Web Radio works :blush: Now I need Tidal connect to play!

I have Tidal working at 16bit 44.1khz, but when the song is 24bit 96khz, it won’t play… I’d love to get that next step of fidelity… What do I need to do??

Do you have another source of music at 24/96 to test?

I would assume the Ian Canada TransportPi Digi supports this bit depth and rate.

I’m traveling this week so can’t test it, but besides Qobuz what other sources can produce 24bit 96khz? I’ll give it a try next week and let you know. Thanks again!

Hi. I recently noticed the same problem with volumio connect. Some songs are not being streamed. Sometimes in the same album some songs play and some not. It applies to high resolution mainly. If i use native app in volumio, all records are downsampled and run ok. You can try the newest record of Pat Metheny - MoonDial. The first 2 tracks dont go, the 3rd does. I think the process of removing mqa screwed something in their files.
