Moode USB Output

[TheOldPresbyope]

USB Audio devices are supported by a single, universal driver in Linux plus a kernel "quirks" configuration file that contains all the specific settings and parameters for various USB Audio chipsets.

If a USB Audio device fails to show up in the output of the command below it could be due to a hardware or power issue or that its not compatible with Linux USB Audio driver / quirks config.

Code:

aplay -l

ETA: the UAC2 fix was an old hack to help eliminate audio glitches that were the result of bugs in the Linux USB Audio driver. I don't think its even needed anymore.

OK Tim, thanks. I'm wondering if a HAT with Toslink would be better than or equal to Pi3 USB as far as audio quality.

A nice article comparing USB and S/PDIF, with a mention of Toslink as well, is USB versus SPDIF on thewelltemperedcomputer.com.
