Can't change "Output Device" to installed DAC
#1
HI all - I've run across across a minor bug in 9.1.5 (and maybe other versions, too?)- I have a Pi 3b+ with a Hifiberry DAC+ Pro installed. When I go to "Audio" configuration and attempt to change my output device, I can't change from "0: Pi HDMI 1" to "1: HiFiBerry DAC+ Pro". When I try, it just reverts back to the HDMI entry (I've made sure that multi-room is disabled, so that's not the problem). However, I *can* choose my DAC in "Named I2S Device," and everything seems to be working audio-wise - I'm getting audio through my DAC - so I'm not sure what's getting left out by not having the correct setting for output device. Any ideas what might be going on?

Reboot and then post the contents of the startup log.

The log can be viewed via the SSH command moodeutl -l or downloaded via the Logs section in System Config, or via Menu, System info from any of the Config screens. The startup log will be at the end of System info output.

The symptoms and this log entry suggests possible breakage in the audio config.

Code:
20241221 123748 worker: Audio formats: Alsacap was unable to detect formats

Try dumping the params that reflect the audio config. Let's see if they make sense.

Code:
sudo moodeutl -d -nr | grep "alsa\|mix\|dev"

cat /etc/alsa/conf.d/_audioout.conf

cat /etc/mpd.conf | grep -A10 'name "ALSA Default"'

One quick correction: dunno if it makes any difference, but this Moode install is on a Pi3B, NOT a Pi3b+ as I previously wrote. I was confusing it with my other Moode setup, which is on a 3b+, and doesn't have the problem we're looking at here.

That command output looks ok to my eye.

You could also try verifying that cardnum is 1 and that the correct overlay (hifiberry-dacplus-pro) is loaded in config.txt
Code:
sudo moodeutl -d -gv cardnum

cat /boot/firmware/config.txt

Other than that I can't think of anything else that could be causing the issue you are experiencing.

"I can't change from "0: Pi HDMI 1" to "1: HiFiBerry DAC+ Pro". When I try, it just reverts back to the HDMI entry"

Both confirmed - this is just weird. Oh, well, it doesn't seem to be affecting functionality, so I won't sweat it.
