Problem with ES9038Q2m DAC

Hi ,
I just brought ES9038Q2m DAC and try to use with volumio . When I choose DAC as HifiBerryDAC as the manual suggests , there is no Hardware Volume Control . So I decided to choose None as I don’t want any loss in sound quality . The problem is when I play 44.1K files which I ripped from CD , no sound come out . But if I change Volume to Software Control , the sound come out. This only happened with 44.1K CD quality. When I play DSD with the setting of None as the volume control , the sound come out normally .

I can solve the problem. I have to use RPI-DAC instead of using HifiBerryDAC even if the product page advice to use HifiBeryDAC for Volumio.

Hello, I use the innomaker board with the ES9038Q2m and use Allo Katana as the DAC. All functions work perfectly on a Raspberry Pi 5. Good luck
