DAC issues

The output settings are in your device's Settings → Playback options. In the app, open your device and go to Settings.

The USB DAC isn't detected

1. Turn on the DAC and check that its input is set to USB.

2. Unplug the USB cable from the device and plug it in again.

3. Go to Settings → Playback options and check whether the DAC shows up in Output device.

4. If it doesn't, try another USB port on the device and another USB cable.

5. Restart the device with the DAC already on.

If the DAC goes into standby on its own, the device may lose it: turn on the DAC first, then the device.

The device doesn't switch between two DACs

When more than one DAC is connected, the device plays only on the one selected in Output device.

1. Go to Settings → Playback options.

2. In Output device, choose the DAC you want to use, then press Save.

Hardware isn't in Mixer type

Hardware shows up in Mixer type only when the selected output can change its own volume. Many DACs can't, or don't let the device change it.

1. Go to Settings → Playback options → Volume options.

2. Pick Software to change the volume from the device, or None to use your DAC's or amplifier's volume.

3. Press Save.

Still not working

Report a bug from the app with the DAC connected and on, and tell us its brand and model and how it's connected (USB, S/PDIF, I2S).
