This neither changes when the USB device is started and once output is set to HDMI, it also doesn't seem to revert to USB when restarting moode while the USB output is on. So the only way to fix this seems to be to reset output to USB manually. That works until the next reboot (or longer if the USB device is on during boot). I am just wondering whether there is a smarter way to fix this. Maybe moode could remember the device or one could set output to USB by default and moode could keep looking for it. Or if there is a way to change output from the command line, I could just run that every once in a while.
Just wondering whether there is a simple solution. Its simple enough to fix manually and doesn't happen too often. But when it happens, I always spend a few hours without music before I realize that I just need to set output back to USB. Thank you for your thoughts and all the work you put into this project - I've been enjoying it for a long time already!
It might be possible to modify the startup section that does audio device configuration to restore a previously unavailable USB audio device but I'd have to determine how much work is involved. One challenge is how to handle the case where even after plugging the USB DAC back in the user in fact wants to use HDMI or an I2S DAC.
I'll ad to the TODO list to investigate.
