[PROBLEM] Failed to open "ALSA default" (alsa); Failed to open ALSA device "hw:0,0"

Burn a fresh, stock moOde image onto a known good SDcard and then boot up your Pi without any HAT or other device connected. Verify that moOde works in this default configuration by examining the Moode log and confirming that there are no errors.

moodeutl -l

After connecting your HAT board and configuring it correctly in Audio config then rebooting, if you get errors like "Failed to open ALSA device "hw:0,0": No such file or directory" then it would suggest a bad HAT board.

Oops, I didn't see this post before flashing. I didn't do the initial boot without the HAT. Things are working right now and moodeutl -l shows no errors.

I am going to change one setting at a time to my previous setup and check playback and moodeutl -l at every step. If I don't find something then I'm back to asking for assistance with troubleshooting. Will post again after putting in place my settings.
