moOde 7.5.0 with RoonBridge and Soekris dam1021
#1
Hi everyone,

I really need your help
Ok so I have the latest moOde 7.5.0 installed, installed the RoonBridge plugin from the Roonlabs website. Roon core is running on a NAS (synology DS220+, 10GB RAM, DSM7)
moOde is installed on a raspberry pi 2B+ and is directly (with very short wires) connected through I2S to a Soekris DAM1021 DAC
I selected Soekris DAM1021/1121 (I2S) option in audio settings, driver and chip options cannot be set. I also tried a few other settings as Named Device and I tried HifiBerry as DToverlay.
I get a message "Hardware volume controller not detected"
Within moOde software volume is working perfect, I also changed the vol.sh so that volume is changed through serial commands directly to the DAC card
Until here everything works like a charm.
Now I also have a Roon setup working, and thats actually working like a charm too, can even play DSD.

My issue however is: I cannot change volume in my roon app, i tried many many things but cannot somehow get it to work
I see that in roon my audio-device (moode roonbridge) is detected as: moode, ip-adress, linux 5.4.77-v7+ ALSA.
Device setup: Unidentified device (DAM1021, moode, rpi not in the list) snd_rpi_rpi_dac
Volume control is set as Device volume which is right i guess, BUT volumelimits are all 0 and there is no option to change volume or change limits. I shows as Fixed volume.

Now the strange thing is that it looks like my ALSA doesnt detect anything, and maybe thats the issue? I can remember many years ago when i setup raspbian i had to manually setup hifiberry card to let it being used in ALSA.
There are so many variables that I'm a bit unsure where to start, so if anyone could give me a hint, it would be very apreciated.

Edit: Oh thats pretty stupid... so I forgot i was logged out of my ssh session and was lookig at devices on my laptop Big Grin 
Ok so i see that mentioned snd_rpi_rpi_dac and getting a message "This sound device does not have any controls", which corresponds exactly with what I see in the roon app.

The question still stands if anyone knows how to program the ALSA config outside of moOde and what precautions i should take  (e.g. after update)

PS: I installed the pyroon python api module and should be able to read and write from and to the roon app with it, but if there isn't any volume control, there is not much to change
