[PLUGIN] Audiophonics EVO Sabre

so, it leaves me wondering what the heck the real problem is ! Software or Hardware ???

Well a bit of both. Hardware was designed prior to pipewire being used so there has to be slight differences in the way blank spaces are handled between songs if there is a noticeable time delay without any data.

If you can hear a clicking effect on track change using the IIS connection, a quick and easy solution would be to use an USB cable between the Pi and the EVO board instead of the GPIO I2S since the XMOS USB chip has additional digital pre-filtering to handle this kind of situation.

You could try using PiCore Player instead with the Python 3 code from Peter Sketch in the UK. It does not suffer from this problem as far as I know… give it a try GitHub - peteS-UK/EvoSabre-DAC-PCP: Script and extensions required to configure piCorePlayer 8 on a Audiophonics EVO-SABRE 2xES9038Q2M DAC

Hi Uwe,
You absolutely right. Volumio does not return any info about seek.
I tried every volumio 3 Versions I have and everywhere, when I try to check volumio.local/api/v1/getState, (Rest API | Volumio Developers Documentation) ,“seek”:0.
I also connected simple 128x64 OLED monitor using MPD Oled plugin. The same behavior, all data except playing time (play progress).
Seems like Volumio problem. I am new in this community and don’t know where to report this problem.
Regards Dmitry

Any chance to upgrade the plugin (And the oled) to support bookworm?
