Hi Stefan,
mixer_control in /etc/mpd should be set to "Digital". You should use "amixer scontrols" to check:
root at voyage-mubox:~# amixer scontrols
Simple mixer control 'DSP Program',0
Simple mixer control 'Analogue',0
Simple mixer control 'Analogue Playback Boost',0
Simple mixer control 'Auto Mute',0
Simple mixer control 'Auto Mute Mono',0
Simple mixer control 'Auto Mute Time Left',0
Simple mixer control 'Auto Mute Time Right',0
Simple mixer control 'Clock Missing Period',0
Simple mixer control 'Deemphasis',0
Simple mixer control 'Digital',0
Simple mixer control 'Volume Ramp Down Emergency Rate',0
Simple mixer control 'Volume Ramp Down Emergency Step',0
Simple mixer control 'Volume Ramp Down Rate',0
Simple mixer control 'Volume Ramp Down Step',0
Simple mixer control 'Volume Ramp Up Rate',0
Simple mixer control 'Volume Ramp Up Step',0
Also check if DAC+ is set as hw:0, using the following commands.
root at voyage-mubox:~# cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [sndrpihifiberry]: snd_rpi_hifiber - snd_rpi_hifiberry_dacplus
snd_rpi_hifiberry_dacplus
For keyboard and bt speaker I really cannot help, I only have US keyboard and DAC+.
Regards,
Punky
