Hi I just bought a aoide u geek dac ii and they say that they work with volumio but I install the official volumio 2.389 and the dac ii is not there

You need to enable ssh access if not done already (volumio.github.io/docs/User_Manual/SSH.html).

ssh in to your device, and type in the commands in the two steps.

N.B. This is done entirely at your own risk.

Tried now;
Doesn’t work after ssh install of the driver.
volumio don’t boot anymore

Maybe it’s not compatible with volumio 2?

So,
The driver is installable only on old Volumio, but old volumio isn’t compatible withe raspberry pi3 b+

The dac is not installable to me; but is usable.
I think that is unable to play 16 and 24 bit files; if you read dsd files, or others files, upsampled at 32 bit, dac works fine.

Who knows if in the future this dac will be compatible with volumio?

Volumio is an open source project

In order to comply with this, it can’t include non open source software. This seems the case for the ess driver.

I see two way :

  1. A user write easy way to install it (plugin ? compiled for the kernel used in volumio). But it won’t be includes in volumio.
    2 ) Driver becomes open source, and it is included…

a complete reinstall seems to fix the things…
now it works correctly

gain is too high with this dac.
