    Arghhh...

    I updated the Linux kernel. Boot from previous: still crap.
    Wait... think basics. Check USB cable. Still crap.
    Wonder what I can swap in/out to test: I don't have a pile of components these days.

    Maybe I should have checked the headphone plug...

    Push. Click! Yay!

    Funny thing is is that it worked at all. Or that one channel wasn't dead. And I'd listened to some speech and it seemed ok. But music was awful: distorted.

    Panic over.

    Your experience is like mine recently with Pi2AES. I updated it, pressed play and.....no sound. Figured it out after mucking around for some hours but was pulling my hair out the whole time.

    Very often, with computers, hifi, etc etc, the answer is simple.
    And people say, why didn't you try that first! Well, I didn't. I tried it last.

    But hey, basics like *all connections* /should/ come first.

    Maybe it took half an hour. True, it could have taken one minute, but that was the way it went.

    Just glad I could get music again :)
