[SOLVED] USB DAC Issue or Install Issue?

01/12/2021:
I marked this as solved, since I will wait for moOde 7.1.0 to be released.
Thanks for everyone's help.

Hi all,

I've been lurking here for a bit of time. I am having trouble with moOde detecting my USB DAC (SMSL M100).

I have RPi 4 (2GB) and an official RPi 7" touchscreen display. It's powered by an official RPi 4 power supply (Vilros). The M100 is powered by an external battery or a 5V wall wart. I also have a USB WD Passport (4GB) internally powered by the RPi 4.

I have tried time and time again to get moOde going with my setup for the past month. At first, with 6.7.1 and 7.0, they really did not work for me. Each time I do a project with an RPi-- I have to relearn what Linux I do know! Anyways, 7.0.1 works. I've had it recognize my USB drive and the files on it. moOde generates a library and I can even try to test the audio or play a radio station-- which is when everything takes a turn for the worse.

I get no audio out. I have owned the M100 for close to a year-- it seems to be operational. I've set the I2S to 'none' and tried to detect my USB Audio (inline 1 connected to USB on RPi). But no dice.

Right at this time I have my M100 connected to my RPi4. So here's some code:

Code:

The only audio I can choose is 'RPi Headphones'. So, I may be missing something obvious or perhaps the M100 does not work in this case (or perhaps at all.) I'm not above buying a new DAC if that has to happen. I'd prefer a USB DAC, but a hat-config will do too...

But does it need to come to that?

Thank you.
