Media player with esp32 s3 N16R8 and max98357 with sendspin synchronized audio

ESPHome

I feel the need to start a discussion about this media player setup I am trying to test without much luck, if anyone else is having a play with this setup and can offer some advice it would be great.

Background. I have been using these media players as stand alone players with great success for some time, I use them to modify old 1950’s radios along with some 1970 transistor radio’s.

I have 5 that I am playing with now trying to get the Resonate stuff running, with my current yaml I have the normal media player working 100% of the time. The resonate media player side just seems to reboot the esp32, there are no logs, just instant reboot, whether trying to play a group or trying to play as a single player.About every 10th time or so I try to play the resonate player it will work fine and play for a long time if left alone.

Here is the latest yaml

I have tried changing a lot of setting for buffers etc but it makes little difference, I have also tried changing the sdkconfig_options with no luck.

So is anyone else trying this and could share some tips?

Could you explain why you want or need to use resonate as media player? Why not use the media player offered by the esp idf platform?

3

You’re likely to get more and better responsees on MA’s resonate-beta-testing discord channel.

4

I tried twice on the discord channel with only one reply which was of no use.

5

Resonate is a component for ESPHome, enabling synchronized audio playback across multiple devices.

I already use the esphome media player and have been for a long time, if you see in my yaml that player still exists and works perfectly. But it is not synchronized across players. Hence wanting to try this.

6

I was planning to test this.

If I get something working I will post here

7

thanks. I could do with some help.

As first test I installed on HAVPE
esphome 2025.12.0-dev20251123. It shows min version 2025.11.0 in example resonate file for HAVPE. I tried building on another of my devices and it could not find resonate component and I update from 11.0 to the dev12.0 version to check. I will build with 11.0 later after I test my nonHAVPE device

HAVPE.yaml
i used the file here recommended by this github post

Device shows in MusicAssistant and can be added as resonate player group
resonated media player shows in HA
works without issue

I will test a waveshare device i have and edit this post with result

9

Yep I know it works on vpe fine. It’s the esp and max in the title that is the issue.

It needs to be compiled in the dev branch of esphome.

With my yaml it shows in MA and can be grouped, even plays sometimes. The issue is it just reboots 9 times out of 10 when you try to play something.

10

plug into pc and get logs over usb

is this a question or an answer?

11

Yep it’s an answer, will only compile in the dev version

12

with my other device i get below when i try to play music with resonate. I gotta look over yaml. everything else looks OK from UI.

13:23:13.965][W][micro_wake_word:254]: Not enough free bytes in ring buffer to store incoming audio data. Resetting the ring buffer. Wake word detection accuracy will temporarily be reduced.
[13:23:13.965][D][ring_buffer:034]: Created ring buffer with size 38400
[13:23:13.973][D][ring_buffer:034]: Created ring buffer with size 38400
[13:23:14.081][D][ring_buffer:034]: Created ring buffer with size 38400
[13:23:14.082][D][ring_buffer:034]: Created ring buffer with size 38400

normal media player is OK (ring buffer 19200) so I am guessing this need to change. Need to learn how.

EDIT
reducing buffer size correct this but seems it may not have been related to my issue

13

I did try it with my esp32 based voice units, as well with little success. This was a few weeks ago, I don’t remember what the logs said. I then decided to concentrate on the media players as there is a lot less code. I can’t test right now as a power cut has caused my servers os to fail, maybe a day or 2 till I get back in control.

14

Actually it seems like HAV unit resonate media player does not playback after some time. Rebooting fixes but if that not working well I hold little hope for other devices

15

I finally found a bit of time to get the logs from attempting to play an album from MA.

Update on AIOresonate from @ maximmaxim345 on github

The protocol specification is not yet fully finalized, but we are getting very close to that.
As for implementations, we will soon have:

  • A almost fully spec compliant python server library (now called aioresonate)
  • A Music Assistant Provider using aioresonate
  • A almost fully spec complaint VPE Alpha Firmware
  • A spec compliant python client (now called aioresonate-cli)
  • A minimal but spec compliant js library for players
  • Experimental Resonate Support in the Music Assistant Frontend using that js library
  • A proof of concept Google Cast implementation of Resonate, including synchronized audio
  • A highly experimental option to use Resonate for Chromecast devices in Music Assistant

An update.

I have changed the title to keep up with the changes to the protocol.

A major update has been committed for testing. I now have a reasonably successful attempt at a media player. It is still suffering the occasional crash. But I now have my 6 test players and 3 Chromecasts all happily syncing.

Have a look and feel free to add hints or tips for improvements, please remember a few things.

I am no expert, but will try to help if i can but can’t be held responsible for any issues.

This is in Alpha and not expected to work as you might want, there will be issues.

Here is that code

FYI, this blog and matching release video about Music Assistant 2.7 has more info about Sendspin:

PS Background about the “Sendspin” (formerly “Resonate”) protocol for music streaming here:

for those that don’t know, we been able to do multiroom playback in sync with coverart and text in HA for years using squeezelite firmware and LMS server, squeezelite devices work with Music Assistant too and this new functionality in Music Assistant works right away without changing anything.

squeezelite players in not only very stable, but also adds options to use as BT recievers, airplay and much more and been recommended as a “real” dedicated mediaplyer by esphome for just as long.

Yes and we have been able to do it with google , alexa and sonos to name a few. That’s not really the point is it,
