Hi everyone, i’m kind of new here. I’ve used before Volumio with a RPI3 and and very cheap PCM5102a dac. Then I migrated to an ak4497 that i bought on aliexpress with Xmos u208 I2S daughter card. The all thing was put in an old tuner.
The setup was fine till the USb card stopped working, the DAC works the coax input…
Luckily I had a RPI 4 2gb and a Kali reclocker. I set up properly volumio, mounted the nas drive, the pin out is correct between top kali GPIO and the I2S input on the dac, see the pict attached.
For now it sounds very distorded, i even fear for my speaker (Nice dali zensor 3) but i can recognise the music.
I’m better in hardware than software, and thus need your help. Here are the sofware détails :
Hardware
The RPI 4 is power through the Reclocker.
reclocker pin
12 => BCLK
35 => LRCLK
29 => MCLK
40 => DATA
In the future, the RPI will be powered with an transformer and linear supply. For now it’s SMPS 10A power supply, which is far enough for an RPI.
The software :
Version V2.773
I tried the Generic I2S driver, the terra dac driver (as it uses an ak4490 chip), the hifi berry driver, I2S option is enabled
the boot.
initramfs volumio.initrd
gpu_mem=32
max_usb_current=1
dtparam=audio=on
audio_pwm_mode=2
dtparam=i2s=on
disable_splash=1
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
