We'll need an example file to debug this. Can you try these files and let us know if one of them can be used to recreate the issue?

Well every one of those files played just fine. I should have just tested the files in 44.1Khz or 48Khz.
Here is my test file: https://delinuxco.com/04_Up_in_My_Treehouse.flac

My entire audio library, almost 300 audio CD's that I have purchased for the last 25 years is in FLAC at 43.2Khz, and the powers that be just want to do away with anyone playing their audio in 43.2Khz sample rate! You can do a Google search for "audio files in FLAC" and you get 13 million hits, at 43.2Khz to the end and "nada".

I think it is time to make a simple Jellyfin media box. for each TV...

Thanks for the sample. I got it working, but uncovered another issue.

Yes, the issue is your sample rate. Not all Roku devices can support that rate, so they just play nothing. What should occur is Jelllyfin is told what sample rates your device supports and convert to one of them. However, I believe I uncovered an issue with the server where I'm unable to pass 2 acceptable values for sample rate (44100 and 48000).

I'm talking with the server devs about this now.

@delinuxco did upgrading to the latest server and roku client, v1.6.6, fix your issue?
