It does appear as a sound card and you can connect to it as a MIDI device via aconnect.

How does Pd communicate with it?
Does it show up as a sound card and MIDI device?

I can confirm that the Pisound works great, but it's not a cheap solution.

Pd doesn't see any soundcards.

I think the problem is that the DAC get its data from the GPIO pins
that Pd cannot communicate with.

I wonder if anybody made a "virtual soundcard" that talks to the RPi
GPIO and shows up as a ALSA device.

I have a very small Sounblaster card that works fine and sounds ok but
it's still too large to fit inside.
With the internal headphones out my software doesn't even start up.

I'm afraid that this won't even work at all with Pd . . .
Has anyone ever used any of these RPi DACs?

Hi everybody!



I just got a DAC expansion board for my RPi4 but Pd doesn't see it.

Since there is no room for a sound card in such a small box and the
RPi headphone out is no good it looks like the only compact way.



Can anybody point me to instruction for making Pd use these DAC
expansion boards as a sound card?
What do the commands
$ pd -listdev
$ $ cat /proc/asound/cards
tell you about available cards?

What does the manufacturer of the expansion board tell you about it?
Will it be a separate sound card from the built-in one? Or will the
expansion
merely provide the built-in one with more channels?

You might want to subscribe to the linux audio users mailing list for
assistance
as well.
