Hi Ken, I will try to give you some step by step to install everything from 0. I have the Pirate audio DAC with a raspberry pi zero 2 so the configuration should be the same.

Configure I2C Dac and Volume Options:
-
Restart
-
Install Pirate Audio pluging:
• To enable the beta channel go to: http://{yourvolumioaddress}/dev and click “Plugins test mode”
• Go back to the plugings menu and in System hardware search for the Pirate Audio plugin and install it -
Restart

Go to the plugins menu again and under installed plugins click on Pirate Audio settings. The GPIO for Y-button depends on pirate audio hat type and not on raspberry pi type / model. For mine is on 24
