Hi everybody new here, joined as you seem to have a sub section for Daphile, having just decided to give it a try , been running a pi3b with MoOde audio previously, anyway have bought a small form PC based on an Asrock J4005m motherboard in a Coolermaster elite case, it has a lite on DS8 drive for ripping, 8gb crucial DDR4 ram, and a 1tb Samsung 860 ssd internally for storage. it is connected ethernet for managing via laptop etc.
I have 2 problems i hope someone here may be able to help me with, 1 i am trying to back up some music files that are on the internal ssd, i have a 2.5" drive connected to the PC via usb to e sata lead, the drive is listed in Storage showing it's make model capacity etc, if i then go into backup, i can select source drive, and within the drive listing for source drive the external drive is listed, but when you open the target drive drop down the external drive is not there, just the internal drive, the external drive is formatted ex fat and has an empty music destination folder on it, also if you look at drives in file manager, both of them have a padlock icon beside them..
Prob 2 i have been listening to it temporarily on headphones with a HRT Headstreamer, which is a dac/headphone amp powered by the 5v from the usb socket, when no music playing you can hear low level tearing ripping noise, which varys in speed and intensity.
Thanks in advance for any help
Chris
