@jonners and @ycdtosa, run the command below and then post/attach the log file. It may contain some info about whats going on and possibly lead to a method for detection so moOde will not flag these or other similar DAC's as having Hardware volume.

It might print a couple odd messages but they are harmless

Code:

alsa-info --stdout > /tmp/alsa.log

cat /tmp/alsa.log

Either copy/paste into a code box in the post or upload it as an attachment.

Nothing very useful here:

Code:

pi@moode:~ $ alsa-info --stdout > /tmp/alsa.log

cat /tmp/alsa_log.txt
cat: /tmp/alsa-info.fDGiYfTgFN/acpidevicestatus.tmp: No such file or directory
