Topping D90SE USB not working with Pi4

[Tim Curtis]

Try bumping the kernel.

The command below installs latest kernel committed to the Pi firmware repo and automatically deletes old kernel modules so some disk space can be reclaimed.

Code:

sudo PRUNE_MODULES=1 rpi-update

Heres some useful links.

Note that Tim suggested

 Maybe try a fresh 7.4.1 image and a bare Pi-4B, then plug in your USB Audio device and configure it in MPD Config.

 
Your output shows you still have the HiFiBerry board installed and you're running on moOde 7.2.1. May be confounding influences, may not be, but it's so easy to remove them from the equation to be sure.

Regards,
Kent

I used latest moode image with kernel bumping like Tim suggested. I don't know why there is still 7.2.x. In this case - I will do it again, check the version and remove hifiberry addon.

OK, everything now is working. I found issue with usb port installed in my streamer case (connected via wire to raspberry). Connecting directly to raspberry solves all problems. It seems that either port or cable to external usb port is not working as it should, but was fine on rpi3. I still need to dig into this but at least it's not related to moode. Thanks for your time and support. I appreciate it.
