G+_Michael Heinz Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 So, my wife bought me a DAC for my RasPi, but I'm not sure what the next step is. I could just use the SD card image they provide, but I'd really rather integrate it into the install I've already set up. The DAC is from Amazon, it's the for the right model Pi, but it doesn't come with any kind of data sheet to explain what it is or how to use it. There are links on the Amazon page for a boot image, but as I said I'd really rather integrate it into the image I'm using. Any suggestions? Can I make this work with the Raspbian image I've been using for my home theater? For another question - Is that 1/8" jack is audio-out or digital-out? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZEWD5VK/ref=s9_simh_gw_g147_i1_r?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=desktop-1&pf_rd_r=0W1GFMJQ3A41FN9Q0ZVR&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=2079475242&pf_rd_i=desktop I opened up the sd card image I found on the amazon page, it refers to the following modules: i2c-bcm2708 i2c-dev snd_soc_bcm2708_i2s bcm2708_dmaengine snd_soc_pcm5102a snd_soc_hifiberry_mini Unfortunately, it looks like a lot of these modules are unavailable in apt-get. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZEWD5VK/ref=s9_simh_gw_g147_i1_r?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=desktop-1&pf_rd_r=0W1GFMJQ3A41FN9Q0ZVR&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=2079475242&pf_rd_i=desktop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jason Perry Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Don't take my word as gospel but the 1/8" jack is marked AL G AR, which leads me to believe it is an analogue audio jack. You cant see the traces on the board but I am guessing it is just another form factor for the audio coming from the RCA jacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jason Perry Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 There is a link for a manual part way down the amazon page I would give it a quick skim to see if there are instructions to set it up on your Pi. Warning it is a 831MB file. I can't open it from the computer I am on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Michael Heinz Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 Not actually a manual. As I mentioned, it's the boot image for the SD card. The two links seem to be two different images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Benjamin Webb Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 You need to figure out which one of those modules your card actually uses I suggest do aplay -l with their working image so you know what chipset it uses in the description then set it up like with a hifiberry https://www.hifiberry.com/guides/configuring-linux-3-18-x/ hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
