I have a weird problem. I have configured an ESP device in ESPHome, and set up a media player in the yaml file. If I play to this device from Music Assistant (which I’ve added to Home Assistant), then it plays fine. However, if I attempt to play the same mp3 file from Home Assistant, then I don’t hear anything. Inspecting the ESP logs everything seems to work well; the file is received, successfully decoded, the speaker is opened and then closed. So what could be the problem? It is unlikely to be hardware or the esp config, since if I’d messed up some pin configuration it wouldn’t work from Music Assistant, right? So something subtle is going on. It might be that transcoding is done differently in MA and HA, but if that is the case, what should I be doing in my ESP yaml file to ensure that the device plays well with both systems?
No logs, no yaml = likely no answer
