OK, let's assume I go down the USB-to-3.5mm route (thanks 'TheOldPresbyope' I hadn't thought of that) so that would fix the audio issue.
Firstly, a bit of info. which may be relevant. I am, while testing, using a single HDMI display shared between my PC and the RPi through an HDMI switch.
Re. the WebUI running locally, I think my initial problem is one of impatience. When I boot up the RPi, as I said before, all I see is boot messages followed by a login prompt. It seems that Moode startup is significantly slower than I was expecting, so when nothing seems to happen at the login prompt, I have been switching back to the PC too early.
You would think that, if after Moode has started in the background, switching back to the RPi would show the WebUI running. Unfortunately, this doesn't happen, as the RPi display has now powered down. This is not a problem since, when I have finished testing then the display will be dedicated to the RPI so will be a true stand-alone system.
What is an issue, however, is that the UI running on the RPi, apart from being super slow responding to the mouse, also behaves very strangely, in that if I click on, say 'M', 'Configure', instead of the grey overlay displaying full page with all the Configuration options showing, it flashes part page then goes back to most of the page that was previously showing, but the 'Configure' buttons are underneath that page, because I can click on them even though they are not visible.
Unfortunately, it seem that the forum will not allow video attachments.
That is just one example, but all the other options have similar effects. To be honest, it is completely unusable.
