Hi,
After a little help.
I’ve installed dietpi 1.4 and I am trying to set up my ifi Nano dac with it.
Where do I set usb dac as an option as there is no mention in the sound card section?
My nano is showing in HQPlayer as a network dac but says failed to load.
Cheers
Wayne
Hi,
We don’t currently support USB DAC’s in dietpi-config yet, but we’ll look into it.
I’ll need some information from your system, but we should be able to get it up and running for you fairly quickly.
Please paste the results from these commands
aplay -l lsmod lsusb
Thanks for the reply Dan,
Here’s the results, cheers.

setterm -reset
card 1: AudioDOP2 [iFi (by AMR) HD USB Audio (DOP2], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
Ok so its card 1. Lets set that as the default soundcard on system.
Create a file /etc/asound.conf with the following lines:
pcm.!default { type hw card 1 device 0 } ctl.!default { type hw card 1 device 0 }
Save changes, then restart NAA Daemon with dietpi-services restart. Sound should now be functional with NAA Daemon.
Hi Dan,
I’m using putty as a SSH client.
You’ll have to excuse me, I’m new to this…how do I create the file?
nano /etc/asound.conf
Copy and paste Daniel’s lines
Close and save: CTRL-X, y, enter
Still no joy Dan.
These are my readings after the change

root@DietPi:~# lsusbThis is looking good, Wayne.
What is the exact error message? Can you screenshot it?
There you go @RBM. Thanks for your help.
The ifi is working in Roon as long as I select the Roon Ready option but won’t work via HQplayer.
Lets run a basic sound test, should hear some whitenoise on the USB DAC:
speaker-test -c2
Press CTRL+C to cancel
skip that…not working roon ready now either
Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels

dietpi-services stop
rerun test

Restart NAA daemon:
systemctl start networkaudiod
Then reselect USB dac in HQplayer and test play.
same ‘failed to load’ error Dan.
Think I might resort back to the pi-dac+
What settings should I have in Dietpi menu Audio options Dan?
I’ve ran the iFi nano off a Cubox running NAA for a few months – this should work the same.
A few more things to try:
If you intend to use just the iFi, you can set sound card to none (not HAT drivers, no drivers for internal sound options (3,5mm jack/HDMI).
