[PROBLEM] Moode 8.2 not seeing DAC

[hillbear]

HI
I'm using Moode 8.2 with an Pi2aes board/Pi3B+. DAC is Denafrips Pontus 2 - connected via i2s

Controller is LMS

This was working fine until I started to get this message :

MPD error

Failed to open "ALSA Default" (alsa); Failed to open ALSA device "_audioout": No such file or directory

Try to run Squeezelite but it doesn't get seen by LMS - advice please
