Hi,
Did you choose “Hifiberry DAC” in Volumio playback configuration ?

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 it’s a duff button I may have to swap the button actions in the code I guess? (Or buy a replacement board)
I’ve just installed this plugin for the first time on my raspberry pi zero w
It wasn’t playing any audio after initial setup… as pointed out in all instructions, I had the mixer set to software and dac set to “HifiBerry DAC”, reboots… but still… nothing!
Once I turned off “I2S DAC” from the Audio Output options - but still having “Hifiberry DAC” 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 “Y” is not working.

@evilskater
did you check the plugin settings, there are two options for the Y-Button.

Changing the pin to 24 for the Y-Button worked! 
thank you!
Hello
Nice plugin!
I thought of adding a custom display line, eg top left to show battery voltage. I use it as a wireless radio speaker and would be nice to show battery usage.
@paet_gmei
i dont think showing battery state is possible. Where should the battery state come from?
AxLED
Thanks
I am thinking of external ADC (Analog-Digital-Converter) to get analog measurments and convert them?
Is it difficult to add an overlay and set its screen position to your code?
@paet_gmei
i will not implement it. If you are fit in python you can change display.py to your needs.

I am also having this issue on a fresh install with a Pi4 4gb. Everything works as expected (even the Y button needing config). Followed all instructions, but I can only get audio out through the built in headphones not the DAC. Any help would be appreciated.

@BryPolar
sounds like a setting problem. Possible solution see: https://community.volumio.com/t/plugin-pirate-audio/44336/229

Hey @AxLED ,
Thanks for your efforts with this!
I’m having problems getting the screen to work (ie there;s nothing there), and there’s a bit of wierdness in multiroom mode (the pirate audio PI has to be the group leader or it goes to zero volume and stays there - “software” mixer mode gives no playback):
brand new RP Zero W
fresh flash of volumio
sudo apt-get upgrade’d
I’ve got:
DAC Model - HiFiBerry DAC set
Mixer Type - None (as mentioned, software doesn’t work)
Have you got any insights in getting it to work?
Many thanks,
Luke
never do this, it will break Volumio!!!

Looks like I’ll be doing another flash then!
yes, Volumio is a custom build OS, running the upgrade command will break things.
However running below is OK.
sudo apt-get update
Cool, another fresh flash (no apt-get upgrade this time), and still got the same issues.
Does anyone have a troubleshoot?
please check your setting on your volumio url (in my case http://volumio.local/plugin/audio_interface-alsa_controller)
I2S DAC: On
DAC Model: HifiBerry DAC
Mixer type: software
hit save an restart your pi.
Info: Since i don’t use a multiroom setup, it could also be that. Try then first to get the pi zero with the pirate audio has as a standalone volumio to run. From there on you can look further.

Hi @AxLED
Another fresh flash, all settings as above, and i’ve got no display. Also no playback unless i set mixer mode to “none”.
Any ideas?
I have a similar issue I’m afraid. I have a new Zero WH and a Pirate Audio Line Out DAC, Fresh setup with Volumio. I have installed both the Spotify and the Pirate Audio plugins from Volumio. I can play music from my server, Spotify, web radio. No display and the buttons don’t appear to be doing anything.
