Hi all. This weekend I’ve been playing with a Rpi3 and a Cirrus Logic Audio Card. I have installed the 0.856 build of Volumio 2 which runs great on the all new Pi3. So now I can use Volumio over the build in wifi. Following the instructions at http://www.horus.com/~hias/cirrus-driver.html I even got the Cirrus card working. The one thing I can’t get to work properly is the volume control in the Volumio GUI. It just doesn’t change the output volume. I hope someody can help me out on this.
The default audio device is disabled in /etc/modules
After installing Volumio 2 RC1 I noticed the “Mixer Control” option in Playback options -> Volume options. Setting the mixer control to HPOUT1 Digital did the trick
If you repack the new kernel, it won’t work anymore. I’m sorry but as of now there is no way to use such sound card in Volumio. The only way would be adding the relevant audio modules to the current kernel.
Maybe not the prettiest work around but worked somewhat with maybe a few kinks to work out.
Any chance we could maybe see compatibility to this DAC implemented natively? There’s already a nicely packaged kernel img that was created by hiassoft available here: http://www.horus.com/~hias/cirrus-driver.html
