I ordered a raspberry pi 2 B and a IQAudio Pi-DAC+ (on behalf of Santa and my wife) early December and finally got to unwrap it and play with it on the 25th. I’ve tried several versions of Volumio and RuneAudio now and in every case the sound from the headphones comes out distorted. I spent a couple of days now scouring forums for answers but every suggestion I try results in the same distorted sound.
I’ve tried several distributions from here http://www.iqaudio.com/downloads/ and the official volumio and rune audio sites.
If you can spot anything amiss or have any suggestions then thanks in advance, otherwise I’ll assume I just got unlucky and received a faulty one and start the returns process.
My set up currently comprises.
Official Pi 2A PSU
Raspberry Pi 2 model b
IQaudio DAC+ hat
Sandisk ultra 16GB micro SD
Sandisk ultra 64GB USB3 memory stick
Sennheiser HD429 headphones
The alsamixer settings are as follows
I’m currently using runeaudio (this version I believe - RuneAudio_rpi2_0.3-beta_20150304_2GB) and here’s the debug output.
