Hello all,
i am planning to build a small home theater boxie for my new TV so i am thinking about Raspberry PI 2. Before i do this i borrowed an old version of RPI B from my colleague to do some testing just to try several distros and to become a friend with it. I've ended up with xbian which i like but now i'm stuck on making an USB DAC for my audio equipment to work :/
I have Audinst HUD-mini DAC which is a HID device and does not require any specific driver. I can see the device properly recognized under System -> Audio Output as "ALSA: Default (Audinst HUD-mini Analog)". When playing a video the DAC led starts blinking which signalizes that there is a signal processed but no sound actually comes out :/
So the question is what is the cause? The DAC should not be underpowered since i've set "max_usb_current=1" in the config.txt and the DAC seems to be "alive" (orange LED="standby" and its blinking green while playing="playback"). Maybe the audio is not properly passed to the DAC ? I found some reference HERE that Volumio distro worsk with the higher version of the Audinst DAC, so it might be only some software thing which causing this?
If more info is needed (debug or something) just let me know, i'll provide it.
Thank you in advance.
