I am trying to boot my Allo Digione Signature running the latest version of Volumio OS, but it does not start up. Both LEDs in RPi are on (Red and Green), LED in the middle HAT is Green, LED in the top HAT is Green. I have taken out the MicroSD and reflashed it with the latest Volumio OS, but still doesn't work. Connected hard drive does not power up and Ethernet port LEDs are not blinking.

I have had the Signature for some time now and really enjoyed its sweet sound! And all this time, in /boot/config.txt, there is one overlay statement: dtoverlay=allo-digione But just about a week ago, I signed up with Volumio in order to get Tidal Connect and problems began. Music randomly stops. I kick-start it by hitting the next button. At some point, it just won't play. All variations of problems! Volumio support instructed me to enable I2S Dac and choose Allo Digione as output. Well, that produced audio but same Tidal problems. So, forgetting the Tidal for the moment (Bluesound has similar issues and they have confirmed the issues), can someone please explain 'cause I'm really confused: 1) is digione a I2S dac? I know it to be a transport only, not a dac. 2) does it even depend on I2S? 3) how about I2C? how is that different from I2S? 4) it seems to me that i should go back to original dtoverlay and forget about I2S and/or I2C. thank you for any help... p.s. There are zero issues with Spotify Connect. I can only conclude the problem lies in Volumio/Tidal integration. And as I said, Bluesound has acknowledged this and working on a fix.

New Sig, immediately jumped to 70 C - even after adjusting the power usage control down to "Conservative". Trying to install newer version of DietPi - hoping it might help with power usage / temperature - but it repeatedly fails with APT install process saying that it is unable to locate rpi-eeprom and rpi-eeprom-images... no, multiple retries make no difference. Any suggestions? Or questions?

Hi, I am experiencing an issue when sending HID SET_REPORT requests via the USB hub where it would crash the otg driver. I can consistently reproduce this on both dietpi and ropieee. The issue might be due to the on-board usb network shares the same Bus as clean USB port. Do you have any solutions regarding this issue? I can provide you more detail information if required. Thanks!

According to the history, version 6.27 is both one that contains "power optimizations" (hope they make a difference) and it also seems to be where these 2 items are first introduced(?). So I really want this one. Any suggestions? Or questions?

Dear Allo, I have today received a new USBridge Signature Player (EU) + Digione Signature in the same aluminum case + Shanti. I ordered it with DietPi + Allo GUI. My first surprise is that it says only USBridge Sig. on the front. It should have said USB Bridge Sig. + Digione Sig. The box has outputs for both SPDIF, BNC and USB. This is a minor irritation though. The big thing is that I cannot get any sound out of the unit no matter what I do. Let me clarify: The player is powered up clean side (1A) first then dirty side (3A) via the Shanti LPS. The Allo DietPi interface is working fine. I have selected the Digione as soundboard. Squeezelite is turned on and set to 16 bit no DSD. I can see the player in LMS, and I can set it to play but no sound is coming out. It is connected to my DAC (Border Patrol SE-i) via a RCA coax cable. I have tried different cables also BNC with the same negative results. I have also tried the Shareport in DietPi. I can stream from my iPad to the player but there is still no sound coming out. I have also tried changing to Moode. It was easy to setup the Digione Signature as the soundboard and get Sqeezelite to work. But still no sound. This is strange since I also have a Allo Digione Player which is working just fine playing music through Squeezelite in Picoreplayer. Switching back to my old Digione Player I can conclude that my DAC is working and my cables too. I can also conclude that the brand new USBridge Sig. + Digione Sig. unit must be faulty. Can you please help me sorting out these problems?

Does Allo intend to produce a case for the DigiOne Signature Edition with the Raspberry Pi 4?
