found it now under âSystem Hardwareâ 
Hi,
I have a Pi 0 and a Pirate Audio Line Out that used to work properly.
Some weeks ago, when changing it to a diferent home, the screen stoped showing any image and responding to the buttons, but the backlight is on and music plays as usual and expected (controled by the app on a phone).
After some tinkering and reinstalling and resetting, I canât get the screen or buttons to work.
So, I did a full reset of the system, run the initial setup, and install only the Pirate Audio plugin. Everything seamed to go as normal, except that it is on 90% and stating âFinalizing installationâ for more than 30 minutes.
Accessing it from a PC, the plugin shows on the installed list.
Can I just restart the Pi 0 and turn on the plugin, or should wait until it gets to the 100%?
TIA
⌠and you can ignore my last postâŚ
My phone timed out, and when turning back on, the app showed the initial Volumio screen. Iâve turned Pi 0 off, back on, and all is well

many thanks for that case and providing it to the scene I have just swapped out an adafruit Bonnet in favour to the pirate aduio line out dac. although mine is a Zero W i think it will fit just perfect. What do you think about printing in black ABS ? It cost 15⏠w shipping. Hope its strong and durable enough. My concern is the buttons, should i choose a different material to make them smoother?
Hi AxLED,
i have just discovered Volumio and i have the pirate audio dac hat. I cant find the Miscellanea plugin to enable the screen to work with this hat. Can you point me in the direction of what i need to do to enable this to work. PS I know nothing of coding etc but i can follow instructions. Your help is most appreciated. I am using pi02 with headphone out PirateAudio hat.
Thanks in advance Darren
Enable plugin test mode in /dev where IP is your device address.
The plugin is beta and in system_hardware category 
Hi, Thank you for that. Do I then set test mode back to false after, or just leave as is?
Regards Darren
There is no problems if you stay in test mode. But be aware some plugin may be âunstableâ because in beta
Can someday point me to the solution for the OLED to turn off with Volumio being shut down? Iâm not comfortable with it being powered 24/7. , I cut the power each time. Thatâs not the final solution for me
Thanks for input
Morning folks.
@AxLED thank you for putting all the effort into this itâs exactly what I am looking for. However I have a problem. My Screen on my DAC just says âPlease Waitâ and the screen flashes on and off every so often.
I am on a fresh install of the latest Volume, I installed the plugin via test mode with no errors at all.
Any ideas of how to resolve my issue? Or can I provide further info on the issue that may help?
Hi @AxLED,
Iâm having the same issue as w0zzaM8v. I have a new install of the latest Volumio with the DAC and I also get the âPlease waitâ issue. From the logs, I can see the service keeps restarting after a failure. Any chance you can help?
Here is what the logs show:

Hi Wheaten, thanks for the response.
I actually was able to sort it out. For some reason, the Mixer Type was set to Null. I changed it to Software, rebooted and found the screen working as expected.
that will do the trick indeed.
Good afternoon,
I am using the Pirate Audio Headphone board on a Pi zeroW 1.1. Volumio is installed with the Pirate Audio Plugin and everything seems to work except I have no sound from the headphone jack. Has this issue been identified and/or resolved? If so will you point me to the solution? I cannot seem to find anything on my particular issue. Please note that I have tested the board with the Pirate Audio software from GitHub and confirmed that it does work, so it does not appear to be a hardware issue.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
Did you choose âHifiberry DACâ in Volumio playback configuration ?
br
Josef
Thank you for your response, yes I did and I also set the mixer to software. Should I be making adjustments to the config file? If so., What would they be?
Thanks for your help.
Either the latest Volumio Update has broken something⌠Or my A button has failed 
⌠Any pointers as to how to debug the button presses? (is it logged somewhere?) If itâs a duff button I may have to swap the button actions in the code I guess? (Or buy a replacement board)
Iâve just installed this plugin for the first time on my raspberry pi zero w
It wasnât playing any audio after initial setup⌠as pointed out in all instructions, I had the mixer set to software and dac set to âHifiBerry DACâ, reboots⌠but still⌠nothing!
Once I turned off âI2S DACâ from the Audio Output options - but still having âHifiberry DACâ selected, I was able to hear my music.
I am not sure if I had to turn it off from the begining or not.
When it comes to buttons, only âYâ is not working.
