Hello,
Time to call for help. (HELP!)
I'm trying to enable external DAC support on a distribution other than Volumio for the Pine64. (Not the Rock64 - for which there seems to be support.) I have tried both Armbian Xenial desktop legacy kernel 3.10.y and 0.7.19-118 xenial minimal from ayufan. The DAC is not recognized and it ports do not appear when one queries aplay.
Am missing something pretty basic like, duh, there is only a driver available for Volumio for the Pine64.
Why? I'm setting up multi room audio and was hoping to have a few "drone" devices with just snapcast and maybe some other stuff for home automation. Wanted Ubuntu because I have more experience with it than others. And I thought this would be easy. (HA!) At least I've learned a lot.
Thank you for your thoughts,
Matthew
