This might be completely unhelpful as it is a "works for me" on different hardware. Anyways, curious as I am I checked alsamixer for my DAC (micromega mydac) on a separate system and got the same bars as the OP. I plugged it into a piCore player on a rPi3+ and got the same four bars, aplay output is also similar.
To get sound through the DAC all I did was change output device to USB audio, reboot and then turn off build in audio and reboot. That was it! I did not have to change any other values, my "Output settings" is blank and "ALSA settings" 80, 4, blank, 1, blank. Sorry OP if you are still trying to get this working and have tried the default values. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ v2k's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71576 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114588 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
