Hey Frank,
Firstly thanks a lot for your work! We really appreciate it!
So here's my case:
I have a Raspberry Pi A (the oldest Pi model). What I want is just be able to see the current playibg, track and time info etc on a screen (not a touch screen)(being outputted from the RCA Video out on the Pi) while be able to use rune audio via the web ui like we normally do.

Does the image that you've uploaded work on the older Pi? I know that it's a stupid question but please pardon me for my ignorance.
If it doesn't, how can I setup this using the regular rune image for my Pi?
I tried using volumio and loading LXDE onto it but couldn't get it to work.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks and regards,
Drgb

Can this be integrated by default?

Hi
I am new to this site but have been following this thread for some time. I have been playing with a Pi2 and 7" screen and Iqaudio daq+. I have tried all your images and am now running your latest image. I have one problem since the beginning which I haven't seen mentioned so far. The problem is difficult to explain but it appears the stereo image changes at random. Not swapping channels but instruments shift in the sound stage. through experimentation I have narrowed it down to something to do with the display. I have done allot of testing to find what seems to be causing this as I initially thought it was the sound card. It seems to be something to do with the LCD. With no power applied to the LCD the symptom goes away. I have moved the Pi board away from the back of the LCD and placed foil in a ziplock bag between them to isolate from EM but this made no difference. The change in sound is mostly associated with a slight click suggesting something is switching. As it only happens when the LCD is powered I don't think its environmental. I am surprised no one else has noticed this as it would be quite noticeable in headphones. Without the LCD powered up I am impressed with the sound quality and congratulate you on a great job. my Pi is powered by a dual 4 amp supply.One for the Pi and one for the LCD. (I have tried lots of different supply setups with no change). As I have run out of ideas I am now contacting in the hope someone might know how to get around this.
Cheers
