Connect your DAC to the Roon Core machine via USB directly. If this works normally for all cases, it proves your streamer I2S is misconfigured or not compatible with your DAC. This is very common due to existence of different standards of I2S over HDMI in use by different manufacturers.

On the web page of a popular DDC I2S output product (not the one you are using) there are at least 4 or 5 sample configurations for different I2S format of different brands of DAC, and to be used with specific firmware versions customized for different brands of DAC.
