Darkice won't auto start on boot

[fdnyfish]

I followed the instructions of this wiki
https://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/Raspberry_Pi_Broadcastify_Build#Configure_the_Sound_Card


but when i boot up my raspberry Pi3 and run the "top" command, darkice is not running.

If I send a "sudo service darkice1 start" the service still does not start.

The only way I am able to get darkice to manually start is by sending the following 2 command, then I see darkice running when used the "top" command.


sudo service darkice1 stop
sudo service darkice1 start

I even added both commands to my "/etc/rc.local" file right before the exit 0 but that don't work either.

Can I get some help please.

Thanks

I have it working. Here is what I did.

sudo update-rc.d -f darkice1 remove
crontab -e
@reboot sleep 30 && sudo service darkice1 start
