I am in the process of converting all my 18 stations to the touch player package. Whilst this has not been a problem with normal screens, I encountered problems with my first station using video. I won’t get audio. I have tried it now on site with Pi 3B and audio via headphone jack and in my lab using HDMI on a Pi Zero. Using my zeittunnel video package will play audio n both platforms, no issues at all. ---

Are you running info beamer hosted or stand alone? If the latter is the case you may need to `export INFOBEAMER_AUDIO_TARGET=hdmi` before running info beamer executable. ---

> [@michael](#): > > touch player package That package doesn’t play audio at the moment. See [package-touch-player/node.lua at master · info-beamer/package-touch-player · GitHub](https://github.com/info-beamer/package-touch-player/blob/master/node.lua#L380-L387). I can add that as an option. ---

I’ve just added an option for audio ([https://github.com/info-beamer/package-touch-player/commit/157db03a1a5f6bd4cc2adbd059d86beb15e5868d](https://github.com/info-beamer/package-touch-player/commit/157db03a1a5f6bd4cc2adbd059d86beb15e5868d)). Can you update the package, change the setting on the config page and see if that works? ---

Thanks for your suggestion Walter, I appreciate your help. We are using the hosted application. We are by far not as deep into the subject as you, still I enjoy reading the exchange of information between you and Florian (amazing, how much you guys know!). As we are running a museum mainly with volunteers like me, we just dig into the subject as necessary. So to say, we are no professionals at all, but help as much as we can. I am so glad I chose InfoBeamer as our software backbone. The support and help I have received is outstanding! ---

Hi Michael, Florian is the one who knows everything, since he has written Info Beamer. I am a user just like you, albeit a software engineer by profession. My company and me we have installed and used Info Beamer in a museum and we are starting now some digital signage service and offers for exhibition. We can say that, professionally speaking, it’s a lovely and awesome software system, a robust environment and Florian is very expert, nice and helpful. We are very glad to have found Info-Beamer. Have fun! ---

As always, I just followed your instructions and: it works as supposed! Thanks so much! Is it OK to use touch player package for my production environment? I have already moved to it on 3 of our 9 stations and it is so much nicer. Have a look-\>[Tunnel-InfoBeamer-Neu5-2019|690x517](https://community.info-beamer.com/uploads/short-url/1dPVchjUU2sq5jEKeXSuBo8MywT.jpeg) With this new concept we are no longer destroying the nice graphics on our walls with black home screens. ---

Your inlined image is fubar’d. Usually it works by just copying the image from somewhere and pasting it while in the edit box. Can you try that? ---

… back to my desk, I will give it a second try -\> paste didn’t work so I just dropped it into the edit box… ![Tunnel-InfoBeamer-Neu5-2019](https://community.info-beamer.com/uploads/default/original/1X/08929b3db66668b0263ab41de61d332ebe7504bf.jpeg)
