Audiophonics ES9023 doesn't work, ALSA issue

[ZeJohn]

HI,

First, thank you for this amazing product.
I got a new DAC Audiophonics ES9023 (I already have one in another hifi system), but I cannot have sound with this new one.
In I2S configuration, I choose Audiophonics ES9023 for device. But I still have this message :

Code:

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

I tried some workaround I found in the forum but still the same issues.
I cannot say if it's a moode issue or a hardware issue.

First, how can I check than DAC is detected by linux ? (I don't have anything in /proc/asound for example, is it normal ?)

Here the result of moodeutl -l command :

The log ,message below indicates that Linux has not detected the audio device.

Code:

20210524 173246 worker: WARNING: No device found at MPD configured card 0

Post output from the command below.

Code:

cat /boot/config.txt

Thank you @Tim Curtis for your fast answer.

File /boot/config.txt was empty in my new fresh install of moOde.
So I copy the content of the file from an existing working install and paste it into the new install.

After reboot, the DAC works perfectly.

For your information, to create the new install, I have just downloaded the .img from the website and flash the sdcard. No more action.

Thank you for your help

... but have actually configured the new MoOde build for your particular Audiphonics DAC...? (just saying...)

[ZeJohn]

Sorry, maybe I'm not clear.


I just say that to install my new system and get a /boot/config.txt empty, I didn't do anything more than download the .img and put it on a SDCard.

All my previous install of moOde work (7.1.0 I think) without any changes in the system (just need to choose the right driver in the UI option)

And today, with the 7.2.1, using the standard method, my last install doesn't work because config.txt is empty.

I have to copy/paste the content of the file from another old install to get something working.
