[Voyage-linux] ALIX / Voyage MPD and new MyDAC

[Tom Greenli]

I have been using a VA Labs NOS DAC with my ALIX/Voyage MPD setup for a couple of years with no issues. I purchased some high resolution downloads from a popular download site and realized that I could not play them on my current DAC. A friend of mine told me about the Micromega MyDAC and I thought I'd give it a try.

I cant get any sound out of the new DAC. It looks like the data stream is flowing but I don’t get any sound out. Are there any configuration setting that needs to me changed? Here are some details of my setup. Let me know if you need anything else.


Version: 0.8 (Build Date 20111030)

        type            "alsa"
        name            "MICROMEGA MYDAC"

#       mixer_device    "default"       # optional
#       mixer_control   "PCM"           # optional
