Official moOde 8 support thread

[Sunfish]

Try opening alsamixer and bumping the Master volume a couple of times.

The white noise issue is because the Kali reclocker does not support 24 bit format. The fix IIRC was to set SoX resampling to 32-bit

Correct... and change mode from plughw to Direct and check that both Piano dip-switches (RPI compatibility and HAT) are set to OFF.
This is what works for my Piano 2.1 & Kali with 8.

@Tim Curtis and @DRONE7
thanks for your help, I managed to get it working finally. The issue is/was the proper way of configuring.
1. 1st boot
2. select the piano 2.1 dac --> reboot
3. select stereo (in my case) --> reboot
4. MPD settings: Sox enabled to Yes and 32 bit selected --> MPD will restart
5. glb-mclk Enabled --> reboot
6. SSH into moOde and indeed juggle the master volume. Now I had sound on the left and the  right channel
7. Volume type select NULL --> MPD will restart
8. all other settings.

The first time this procedure did not work, but in one of the logs I noticed a remark about mixer:HDMI.
For no logical reason I  made a new image of moOde 8.0.0 and edited the /boot/config.txt. In fact I removed the section [Rpi4], as I'm using a Rpi 3b+ that section has no use.
After this adjustment the above procedure worked. Coincidence or not?
I'm a happy camper now
BTW I did not change from 'plughw' to 'direct' because I want to use the graphfic equalizer to pump up the high tones. In that case "direct" will be circumvented. as per the note in moOde: "NOTE: Crossfeed, Parametric EQ and Graphic EQ output using plughw regardless of this setting"

thanks again
