How to unmute Dragonfly DAC

[doxyq3]

How can I unmute my Dragonfly dac in Runeaudio?

It works fine with Volumio.

Setup:

Raspberry pi B+ v1.2
8 gB Sandisks ultra w/ runeaudio (latest alpha and beta)
Audioquest Dragonfly
several USB drives

Thanks!!!

ssh into the Pi and use alsamixer, select F6 to choose the DragonFly and then hit the M key to unmute.

Thanks!!!!!!!

Volume was unmuted but set to minimum, up arrows raised volume to max and sound works now

But..... the hardware volume control doesn't work and sound pauses a second every 2 seconds on 24bit/192k files

Software volume works but I would rather us the DACs hardware volume like in Volumio and 16bit/44k & 24bit/96k files play fine.

When in software volume mode, volume will vary and all formats 16bit & 24bit - 44k-192k files play fine.

Hardware volume mode is the problem, with no volume control and 24bit 192k files stuttering.

I'm sorry but I'm totally ignorant with Linux. I don't understand a lot of the posts. Thank you for bearing with me.
