Notes
- [1] Multi-room master server functionality is disabled by default on Raspberry Pi 1 family devices due to performance constraints.
- [2] Not tested. Feel free to share your results.
- [3] Currently balenaSound can not run on balenaOS 64 bit versions, please use 32 bit alernative. See this issue for more informaton and an up to date status.
- [4] There is a known issue with all variants of the Raspberry Pi 3 where Bluetooth and WiFi interfere with each other. This will only impact the performance of balenaSound if you use a Pi 3 as the master server to do multi-room bluetooth streaming, resulting in stuttering audio (Airplay and Spotify Connect will work fine, as well as all streaming methods with multi-room disabled). In this cases we recommend the use of a Raspberry Pi 4 as the
masterserver or a Pi 3 with a bluetooth dongle.
