Settings for newer eBay dual ES2023 Dac?

[buckapound]

In Audio Config set the I2S "Named device" to Generic-1 I2S (hifiberry-dac). I don't know if this is the correct driver for your particular board but this is the driver that works with my Mamboberry LS which is an ES9023 based board.

Reboot and then enter the command below.

Code:

dmesg | grep i2s

I really appreciate your help, Tim. 

I set the i2s device as you said, and logged in, and typed exactly what you put here, then hit return. It went to the next line with the same prompt--I don't know if it was supposed to acknowledge or do anything else. 

Restarted again, and the (mamboberry) "generic i2s" shows up. However, I'm stuck in the "configure" screens, with no apparent means of getting back to the normal playing screens. Sometimes, a large gray square with "Moode" on it shows up, then I get a "reconnect" prompt, but it always goes back to the configure. Ive restarted several times, including a manual power down and re-start.

So, obviously something is wrong. Don't know if I should have preceded the command with "sudo." Don't know whether I was supposed to restart right after.

I have to say I'm extremely frustrated by my helplessness. I'm pretty good at design and metalwork and adequate at soldering, but a programmer I am not. So, I hate to keep screwing this up in ways I cannot understand and that require hand-holding. I do really appreciate your patience with me. 

So what do I do now? Start over with a fresh SD card?
