Question: Help with other sound drivers / DAC HATs
newelement opened this issue · comments
I'm looking to use Ian Canada's ESS DAC found here:
The docs state that the Audiophonics driver will work which is found here:
https://github.com/audiophonics/I-Sabre_9038Q2M
This is probably a bigger topic, but can you provide any help on getting Plexamp to see the driver?
Is this where enabling I2S device comes in to play?
According to this page: https://www.audiophonics.fr/en/dac-and-interface-modules/ian-canada-dual-mono-mkii-dac-es9038q2m-hat-raspberry-pi-i2s-spdif-pcm-dsd-p-18359.html
All that is needed is to: "To use the Audiophonics I-SABRE driver with your Rasberry PI, invoke the driver from /boot/config.txt with the command line dtoverlay=i-sabre-q2m or select the "i-sabre-q2m" driver from your Pi-based streaming solution."
This since newer version of the kernel should already have a driver for the 9038Q2M-based audiophonics card as of Raspberry Linux kernel (V 4.19.34), so no need to install separately, it just needs to be enabled.
Will see if I can get time to add a prompt for that in the next couple of days.
Oh sweet how did I miss that part. I have the HAT coming next week. I'll try it. Thanks.
With dtoverlay -a I'm not seeing that overlay available. Is there another way to check that you know of ?
EDIT - yes it is in there. I was looking for sabre... not i-sabre...
Ok, added option for this card in the script. Let me know if it works!
Just to tack on to the above- it would be handy to support the newer Allo Boss 2 DAC:
DIGICARD="dtoverlay=allo-boss2-dac-audio";;
Also, thanks for this script!
Ok, added the BOSS2 DAC, let me know of any issues! Or if I am missing any other frequently used cards!
Reporting back - i-sabre-q2m is working great. Thanks
