IanCanada IsolatorPi III Help

Hello Community,
I’m in need of some help. I’ve gone through a few hundred pages of the main IanCanada thread, used ChatGPT and I’ve run out of things to try.

I’m building a transport to connect to my Laiv uDAC. The base parts are a RPI 3b+, TransportPi Digi/II, PurePI II and IsolatorPi III. I’m using Ropieee as the OS and sending music from Roon as an endpoint. I’m using the HiFi Berry Digi+ Pro driver in Ropieee. I’ve been experimenting with both I2S and Coax outputs.

When I connect everything without the IsolatorPi III it works amazing. The problem is when I insert the Isolator into the mix, I get no audio output. My DAC clearly sees the PCM signal over I2S and Coax, but no sound. I tried the I2S generic driver and got static so I feel like this is a software/driver issue, or some random jumper setting, or something is just on mute and can’t be unmuted, or I have a bad board?

Pics are below to see how things are all connected, jumped, powered, and lighting up. I’ve read around and I started a new thread because it seems I’m not the only person with this problem, so I figured I’d create a searchable way to fix it.

Thanks for the help!
