Hello everyone,
maybe someone can help me with my problem. I would like to use my Raspi4 together with an "SMSL M300SE DAC". Connected via USB. Unfortunately, the device is only ever recognised as a "QinHeng Electronics CH340 serial converter", but not as an audio device. I have tried USB 2.0 and USB 3.
Does anyone have any advice on what I can do?

Reboot and then post the contents of the startup log. The log can be viewed via the SSH command moodeutl -l or downloaded via the Logs section in System Config, or via Menu, System info from the any of the Config screens. The startup log will be at the end of System info output.

Great, thank you very much, by the way, I have tested the system both as 32 bit and as 64 bit.
Here is the start log of the 32-bit version:

can you open alsamixer on a console, and press F6, this will open a small window on the screen, where you can see the devices recognized by the system.
My Linux box too identifies my Scarlett 2i2 as a digital camera (that is generally just a description, wrong, but a description only), but it plays audio through it, nevertheless...

To elaborate on Al's reply, the string "QinHeng Electronics CH340 serial converter" is just a place keeper embedded in the USB interface chip by the manufacturer. It's being reported back through USB as the DAC's iProduct descriptor. Apparently SMSL is too cheap to pay its chip supplier to customize the string for the M300SE DAC.
Where do you see this string reported in the moOde webUI? If it is listed in the pull-down menu of Output device in the Audio configuration screen, then just select it and continue.
Al's proposed use of alsamixer would confirm this because it reports only the audio devices recognized by the system (and, possibly, only those with one or more mixers?)
Regards,
Kent

The log shows that Pi HDMI 1 device is the configured audio device.
When you open Audio Config is your SMSL DAC listed in the "Output device" dropdown?

@ Nutuil :The alsamixer shows x- default / x0- HDMI / Headphones (screenshot). Does that mean default is my DAC?
@ Tom Curtis & TheOldPresbyope: Yes, currently the HDMI port is selected. But I only have HDMI and headphone jack to choose from.
This all looks to me like the device is not recognised as an audio device. Is that correct?
Try the command aplay -l
It lists all audio devices that Linux/ALSA have successfully recognized.

Sadly, I think you are correct.
Your DAC (even if identified as the serial converter) should show up in both places if Linux can figure out it's a USB audio device.
And no, the default isn't your DAC. If you select it, you'll probably find the default is the HDMI port. That's true in my case, even with my Khadas USB Tone1 board selected as the moOde output device.
