However, there is no actual sound coming through to the DAC (ESI gigaport HD+). The blue USB power LED is on but not the red I/O LED, suggesting the music signal doesn't go that way.
To be able to select Spotify Connect I have to enable 'music server' and when I do that the ALSA output configuration disappears?
'Audio State' shown USB audio and 'in use'.... but the actual sound is coming through the headphone put of the snakeoil computer.
I'm missing something...
