Simultaneous USB digital and analogue audio output

I output Volumio digital audio via my Pi5 to my Chord Qutest via USB, but I want to install an analogue VU meter in my case.
Does Volumio send analogue audio to the Pi concurrently to digital so I can simply take two wires off the Pi to a VU meter?
Does anyone have a simpler/better solution?

Don’t you want to use Peppymeter?

I dunno! Do I?! I’m new to Volumio tbh.
Is it a digital plugin that outputs various things to a screen?

Hi Gelo5. Will Peppy work with a 1" screen?

1"??
2,54 cm?
what do you want to see on such a screen?
no it doesn’t work. Minimum 320x240

I only want a small VU meter for a bespoke Pi case.

for eg 3.5
