Over at the Roon forum there are also a number of reports saying Lynx Hilo does not work with linux.  
Done, sorry @darekdz

I would more likely guess that the problem is with the Ubuntu USB Audio 2.0 class driver. Of course we don’t do any testing with Ubuntu.

yeah, the guy tells fibs, there is no such thing as an Ubuntu Audio 2.0 class driver.  
There is only a [kernel.org](http://kernel.org) USB Audio driver “snd\_usb\_audio.ko”, which covers Audio Class 2.0  
Which Lynx does not comply to or needs usb quirks.

Hello,

I have moved your post to a new thread as this is a new question.

1. The Hilo-USB is completely USB Audio 2.0 class compliant. The evidence of this is that the Hilo-USB requires no extra driver on Macintosh OS X, as OS X supports USB Audio 2.0 class directly. No where in any of the sales material does it say we support Ubuntu. I would more likely guess that the problem is with the Ubuntu USB Audio 2.0 class driver. Of course we don’t do any testing with Ubuntu.

2. Added to the wish list… you may not have to wait very long on this one. ![Smile](https://community.volumio.com/uploads/default/original/2X/9/95f7821731a2989b16e4bce1ac71be6b9393d2b0.gif "Smile")

Lets close this subject, we are not going to agree with Mr. Lynx, no matter what he claims.  
Plenty of proof that it does not work with linux and there is nothing we can do about it anyway.  
Not a Volumio issue (otherwise we would have fixed it).

or take your unit to his setup and test. perhaps it is HW.  
I did not like the clock problems, perhaps your friend could make a log?  
Realising the failure reports were plenty, I hope it is not a hit and miss thing with the DAC.

Do you have another device connected to your RPi4, in another USB port, in the same time with your USB DAC? A wireless keyboard or mouse?
