@wishmaster270 Hi just checked. its bullseye. and my config is

{
		module: "MMM-MplayerRadio",
		header: "Radio",
		position: "top_center",
		config: {
			//autoplay: 0,
			stations: [
				{
					title: "Al Mubarak",
					url: "https://emasjidlive.co.uk/listen/almubarakradio",
					logo: "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ac/Antenne-bayern-logo.png",
				},
			],
		},
	},

@bugsounet Oh, good to know. I use Bullseye for a while but currently only have a mirror running without audio.

@tanvir586
In default mode (which you use) mplayer is used. As i wrote in the documentation mplayer has caused a lot of problems with many streams. You could try to switch to vlc instead which is working much better but does not provide the current stream information.

	{
		module: "MMM-MplayerRadio",
		header: "Radio",
		position: "top_center",
		config: {
			//autoplay: 0,
                        customCommand: "/usr/bin/vlc",
                        customCommandArgs: ["-I","dummy","###URL###"],
			stations: [
				{
					title: "Al Mubarak",
					url: "https://emasjidlive.co.uk/listen/almubarakradio",
					logo: "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ac/Antenne-bayern-logo.png",
				},
			],
		},
	},

Make sure to install vlc first:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y vlc

@wishmaster270 Hi I’ve tried this aswell. And I installed the vlc. But still not working. I’ll try it again now.

@wishmaster270 ok. Didn’t work. I have another mirror with no speaker. And that’s os 11.2. I can copy that sd card and try on my new mirror. Do you think it will work or I should do something on this one?

@tanvir586 If you do have graphical access directly or via vnc you can check the audio settings first.
Maybe the sound is send to analog out instead of hdmi.

@wishmaster270 If you do a right click on the speaker symbol you can decide where to output the sound:

It’s on Hdmi. And I can play YouTube, sound OK on YouTube

[wishmaster270]

@tanvir586 Ok. Maybe the vlc on the shell ignores it.

Found an interesting thread which suggests running vlc with a additional option:

       {
		module: "MMM-MplayerRadio",
		header: "Radio",
		position: "top_center",
		config: {
			//autoplay: 0,
                        customCommand: "/usr/bin/vlc",
                        customCommandArgs: ["-I","dummy", "--alsa-audio-device", "hw:0,0", "###URL###"],
			stations: [
				{
					title: "Al Mubarak",
					url: "https://emasjidlive.co.uk/listen/almubarakradio",
					logo: "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ac/Antenne-bayern-logo.png",
				},
			],
		},
	},

If you use a Raspberry Pi 4 with two hdmi you may need to change “hw:0,0” to “hw:1,0” depending of the port your monitor is connected to.

Maybe this helps. I can not test it at the moment.

Edit:

Some people suggest to add

dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d

to “/boot/config.txt” additionally.
