Good news! It now works with Ayre-QB9. Many thanks!

New test kernel #7 available - to be used to try to find issues with
remaining problematic usb 2 dacs

To try:
1) Install Enhanced Digital Output as normal (see other thread)
2) follow step 3 at the start of this thread to add my usbtestrepo to
your LMS plugin page
3) Install the "Kernel Updater" app
4) Navigate to Settings > Advanced > Kernel Updater and install test
kernel #7

Test kernel #7 only supports spdif and usb outputs - if you set the
output to "analog + digital" or default you won't get any output.  It
will also not work without EDO installed.  The purpose of this kernel is
to check whether usb dacs work better with the device drivers for the
internal dacs removed.  These seem to cause problems with aplay -l
maintaining a list of output devices.  I want to validate if this
relates to similar problems seen with some usb2 dacs where the output
device is not seen.

I've done this with my debian system without any problems. It would just
show up in the networks box. You might want to try SSHing into the Touch
and see if samba is actually running. I presume you have a USB
drive/stick or SD card and want to share that? If the library is large
and the Touch is running out of memory sometimes samba dies, so even
though you have turned on file sharing there is  no samba server to
connect to.

To save Triodes thread getting any more off topic can you PM me the
details of what files and folders you can see and I'll have a look.

Well said.  Agree 100%.

Thanks for the informatie, but I cannot find the files you mentioned. I
de-installed EDO en re-installed it again, but I still cannot find those
files. Triode do you have any idea why I cannot find these files?
