So i have OP25 running and have audio when I do manual start of the software.

I finally got to create Audostart of the software and that works starts OP25 right up fine.
However no I get no audio. I can stop the software and go back to teh op25.sh file and tell
it to execute and I get audio. I stop the software restart the software and no audio, reboot no audio.

Any ideas on where i can look for my mistake.

Thanks

Most likely it'll be PulseAudio permissions.
When op25 is started at boot, it generally has no access to PulseAudio because that doesn't start until a user logs in to the desktop. There are things that can be done to address this; you might reach out to @wgbecks for further guidance, but first he's going to need to know what hardware & os release you're running on.

This is indeed an issue with the PulseAudio permissions that enforces user authority as opposed allowing operation as a system wide daemon as @boatbod mentioned. Let me know what OS you're on and I "might" be able to help out with a workaround that permits PA applications to run as system services. IE: Headless operation.

I've had to deal with this vary problem in that all of my instances of op25 run in a headless configuration and whereby I make use
of Liquidsoap to process my local and streaming audio sources.

Please note that I am going to be in and out over the next several days and may not be in a positon to offer a timely response.
