Airplay and USB not working?

[pcherm]

Hi, I have a question. I have MusicBox running on RPi 3B and SoundBlaster Omni connected over the USB. The device is initially showing in the Airplay list, but once I try to play music on it, the airplay seems to be crashing and disappears from the list.

It works fine when I set the audio output to Analog.

Has anyone come across this issue?

I have noticed Airplay seems to be a little flakey. Sometimes it’s on sometimes it’s not. I find a fresh reboot helps sometimes.

Also I notice that it seems to correlate with the green light on the TRENBADER speaker I have from Amazon. I can look and see if it will work (green) or if it won’t (red).

I wonder if it has to do with some sort of energy saving settings? I have the same symptoms where sometimes the Pi is listed as an AirPlay device but when connected it shows an error alert.
