Thank you so much for replying @Darknes
I tried this video already but will try it again along with your instructions. The issue is I get no output on my screen. It is on and just black. Hopefully the 20th try is the charm. Fingers crossed! :slight_smile:

Also, quick question but peppymeter is the only actual plugin yes? The other two are PC programs correct? IF not I need to know how to get them.

If you mean that the plug-in works but the indicators do not move, I think it may be a matter of audio output settings
I’m sorry but I don’t understand your question

It is ok, I probably did not explain myself very well. I installed everything but have no output to the screen, only black. I will try everything again and post back. :+1:

Install the Touch Display plug-in.

if you have problems with playback (meters do not move) khadas tone 1 then set mixer type to software.

Hello…

What do you mean by that ?

I haven’t come up with the idea of switching to software yet… worth a try if I run into the problem again. :+1:

I have set the mixer to software and reboot the raspberry, the dac works but the peppymeter dont start. must i install the plugin with the dac?

I also have a khadas tone 1 and it only works if the mixer type is set to software or non.
do you have the timeout in the touchscreen plug-in higher than the timeout in peppy meter?

and set no screen saver while playing.
mixer type is under settings/playback options/Volume options/mixer type.
