Official moOde 8 support thread

[Tim Curtis]

Hello community, hello Tim,
2 days ago i update to the new V8.
My Hardware: raspberry pi4B with ALLO Boss DAC2

I always select Mixter Type: Hardware cause it sound better than software.

When i rotate the volume controller the sound stops sometimes, hanging.

In Moode 7 it always works fine.

Is that a bug that might be fixed?

Thank you.

I was able to catch a repro of this on an Audiophonics 9038 DAC. It looks like after starting up  the Hardware mixer which for this particular device s named "Digital" is reporting that it is in the "off" state.

Code:

pi@kef:~ $ amixer sget Digital
Simple mixer control 'Digital',0
 Capabilities: pvolume pvolume-joined pswitch pswitch-joined
 Playback channels: Mono
 Limits: Playback 0 - 100
 Mono: Playback 66 [66%] [-34.00dB] [off]

Ensuring that it's set to "on" during startup seems to fix the intermittent problem where sound cuts out after changing the volume.

Code:

amixer sset "Digital" on
