I am trying to use a HiFi Berry DAC at the same time as the onboard-audio of a Raspberry PI 3B. I have already tried to configure alsa with a pcm route and 2 pcm dmix's to get the desired result. And speaker-test proves that my two dmix devices are working properly, but when I try to use the route device, it just errors out with the following error:
# speaker-test -D plug:dualout
speaker-test 1.1.8
Playback device is plug:dualout
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
ALSA lib pcm.c:2434:(snd_pcm_open_conf) type is not defined
Playback open error: -2,No such file or directory
Here is my current asound.conf
# cat /etc/asound.conf
