Audio

On the Audio tab you can configure Sonik’s audio output.

HAT

If you have an audio HAT attached, select it here. Sonik supports an extensive set of HATs, continuously updated to support the latest models. See the full HAT list.

If you have configured a HAT, you may also be able to enable Dynamic Audio Power Management (DAPM). This removes the audio signal completely when not playing — useful for HATs with a TOSLINK output.

USB

USB audio is enabled by default. Sonik shows all connected USB DACs — make sure they are powered on.

USB Force Volume forces volume control on the USB DAC. This option is rarely needed.

USB Auto Suspend shuts down the USB DAC after a defined idle timeout. Useful when the DAC drives a power amplifier directly, so the output is disabled when nothing is playing.
