RuneAudio Forum

Got my Schiit MODI in the mail today, works fantastic. To control volume from RUNE UI or MPD you do have to use software control.

Interesting, I have had no issues what so ever with the 0.2 beta. It sounds amazing and there is no volume, distortion or any other issues whatsoever. I am using the Orion v2 kernel on the RUNE. strange that you have had issues. I hope you find out what is causing it.

With 0.2-beta everything works fine because it uses an older version of kernel, the problem shows with the more recent ones. Ah, I confirm you that OrionV2 is the best kernel profile with that DAC in my experience.

Just tried the .3 alpha and I see what you are talking about. Such a shame that it wont work on the new kernels. I highly ask that you try to find a fix. The MODI is an amazing DAC considering its price and makes a great choice with RUNE and Raspi for a low cost great sounding system.

I know because I own it and I cannot use it anymore
Such incompatibility between Modi's firmware and newer kernels is a true pity. I hope we can find a workaround for that...

EDIT: In the next release we are going to include also the old kernel (working with Modi), because we are realizing that it's almost impossible to cover all the possible cases with a single kernel version/config. So we are going to give the possibility to switch between kernels from the RuneUI (we already set up the switch function for the Wolfson Audio Card support in the Settings screen).

We can only provide the old kernel available via Kernel Switch feature.
I will integrate it in the next upcoming v0.3-alpha build.

Bye.

Thanks for the Reply Orion, as long as we have a way to use the MODI we are good. Cant wait to see what you guys have in store for beta release of .3
