Hi All

I'm new to Ubuntu. Im running 12.04

I have a synology diskstation server and various airplay and dlna devices on my home network. I am able to stream music from the server to all devices using either a pc (windows) or an iphone.

I've been trying to stream music to a Marantz SR5008 AV received which supports both Airplay and dlna.

I have installed (all from the Ubuntu software centre)

  • Pulseaudio preferences
  • Pulseaudio-module-raop
  • Rygel


In pulse audio prefs i have ticked "make discoverable Apple AirTunes sound devices available locally" and "Make discoverable PulseAudio network sound devices available locally. In In sound settings I can now see all of my networked devices. I have started rygel by typing rygel in the terminal.

I start playing some music with Rhythmbox using the local speakers (headphones) I can hear the music playing. However, if I select my marantz amp in sound settings, the mp3 appears to pause and no sound comes from the networked device.

I have read many forum posts on this issue and I followed this guide

As yet, Ive not been able to get it working. Could someone provide me with some information on how to get this working please? Bear in mind I'm a new user of Ubuntu/Linux!

Thanks!
