From my understanding of the OtterCastAmp v1.2 schematic, the only way to play music from an external USB drive is to use an USB-C hub with power pass-through.

Should I expect most of the USB-C hubs to work nicely with OtterCastAmp, or should I rather try to remix the design with either:

What is your opinion on simplifying the use of an USB drive in future versions?

Thank you for all this amazing work!

Hi!

Currently USB host mode doesn't work due to a still unknown bug. It should work and it's most likely a software issue, but we're not 100% sure.

USB device mode (as a sound card) does work, so the USB itself is fine.

Just general purpose USB-C hubs for notebooks and smartphones should work fine.
