SMSL M500 XMOS XU216

Post by aras1301 »

Hello,

I have an SMSL M500 DAC.
When connected to a computer (Linux system), there is a lot of noise in the headphones. I tested several different distributions, always with the same result.

On Windows, everything works fine after installing the drivers.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
I want to use Linux, but I don't want to listen to music without my DAC.
