Hi MikeC,
You have quite an old kernel with 4.1.20-1-ARCH, Frank's test kernel is 4.1.33-1-ARCH or similar. It is still important that the manufacturer tells you which version supports the DAC.
But from what I see in you debug is that the USB dac is not detected as a USB device. It’s a two-step process, first detection as USB device then detection as an audio device. You Dac is just not seen! Not sure what this means exactly, maybe Frank can add his wisdom.
But I would first check: 1. the USB cable, 2. the power supply requirement for the dac (if self-powered, or under 350mA via USB should be ok), 3. Check that the 'max_usb_current=1' line in config.txt is uncommented.

Hi MikeC,
All the correct steps done, the only thing that I can think of is pluging it into a PC to see what happens. This won't solve your problem with Rune, but you may be able to confirm the status of the dac.

Hi MikeC,

what is strange is that your DAC isn't recognized at all by Rune.
Have you tried to hotplug the externally powered DAC?
Have you tried another DAC with this setup?

Hi MikeC,
As a last effort (before you send it back on Tuesday) you could download this image and give it a try: runeaudio-0-3-beta-for-raspberry-pi-t502-520.html#p23625
Should play out of the box and has a very recent kernel.

just curious how I will put the image on an SD when using linux. I can't seem to find the previous instruction for .2 beta. Can I just use unetbootin? I have no windows around (haven't for years) , except those in the walls of my house
