Working with Volumio: YES*
Tested Versions and Platforms: Raspberry Pi 4B 2GB rev 1.4, Volumio 2.873
Harware Mixer on Volumio: YES
HW Mixer string: N/A
Comments: *Only works with a USB A hub in between the Pi and the DAC. The hub does not need to be separately powered. Without the hub it has connectivity issues and will not function properly. (It might only be my specific Pi or my specific MX3 that does this). I am using a UGREEN 4 port USB 3.0 hub.
