Em. !!! I use a sabre now and trying to remember the settings...maybe try different vc.. Not hardware try none and use amp vcs maybe.
I do have a back up pidacplus and had a similar problem. Took me a while to work out..it was just a wro!g setting..make sure you update or reboot as needed after changing things or it wont work
If you cannot get it let me know Steve and i will go find mine and plug it in and get the settings for you mate
Hi Grant
You are a gentleman! However, I've just got it sending sound out again.
Fiddled about in settings/ hardware/ tried no i2s etc etc
Then I fired up MPoD... Which has a slide vol control. Turned that up and got music.
God, it's all a bit of a kerfuffle.
I was wondering how much damage it would do the Pi by lobbing it through the window!!
Thanks again anyway.
Just setting mine up. Will get the settings

Not sure it aint sounding better than the sabre lol....probably just the grass is greener syndrome
Cheers Grant
That's great to have as a reference.
I'm almost too scared to try anything else at present!!
Might tempt the gods of software to laugh again.
Been meaning to do that for it and the sabre ..pics often work wonders
This is the sabre settings for future note

Hi,
Here is some general Moode info that might be helpful :-)
1) USB port power
If using a port powered USB HDD or USB audio device that requires extra power, turn on "Max USB current 2x" setting in Moode System config. This causes 1200mA to be delivered to USB instead of default 600mA.
2) Moode freezes, becomes unstable or behaves very strangely
- SD Card has become corrupted
- Faulty power supply
3) USB audio device not recognized
- Turn on "Max USB current 2x" setting in Moode System config
- Use a powered USB hub
4) USB audio device intermittently disconnects
- Faulty USB cable
- Faulty power supply
5) Volume control configuration
MPD provdes volume control using its high quality 32 bit float w/dither software volume control or it can control an audio devices on-board hardware volume controller via internal coupling to ALSA. MPD volume control can also be disabled to support use of an external analog or digital volume control.
ALSA volume control will only be present if the audio device has an on-board hardware volume controller and ALSA successfully detects and configures it. This is indicated in Moode System config by a value present in the ALSA volume (%) field. Otherwise it will be blank and the message "Hardware volume controller not detected" will be displayed.
There are several possible volume control configurations depending on whether or not the audio device has an on-board hardware volume controller.
- Hardware volume controller = NO
The only valid settings for MPD volume control are "Software" or "disabled". If set to "disabled" then MPD will default to 100% volume level (0dB)
- Hardware volume controller = YES
a) Set MPD volume control to "Software", set ALSA volume (%) to 100 (0dB)
b) Set MPD volume control to "Hardware" and in Customize popup enable Logarthmic curve if it provides a more "linear-to-the-ear" feel.
c) Set MPD volume control to "disabled" and set ALSA volume (%) to 100 (0dB)
NOTE: its been observed that some i2s DACS are apparantly sending an incorrect hardware volume range to ALSA resulting in 100% volume being greater than 0dB. In this case do the following:
- Use ALSAMIXER to determine the correct volume % for 0dB. The dB gain value will be displayed in upper left of ALSAMIXER screen.
- Use this new % value to set ALSA volume (%) in (a) and (c) above, and for (b), use the value to set "Maximum volume (%)" in Customize popup.
WARNING: when making changes to volume control settings ensure that Moode knob is set to 0 and play back is stopped.
6) Volume knob Command Line Interface (CLI)
The Volume knob cli provides a mechanism for external applications to control Moode volume and mute state. The cli is implimented as a BASH script named knob.sh located in /var/www directory.
The types of external apps that would make use of knob.sh include Infrared (IR) controllers or Rotary Encoder drivers.
Example:
ssh root@moode (pwd = moode)
/var/www/knob.sh 32
/var/www/knob.sh mute
/var/www/knob.sh unmute
/var/www/knob.sh 45
Notice the Moode UI instantly reflecting the changes entered above :-)
