I ended up using an inexpensive USB DAC adapter plugged into the small USB hub we have connected to the dock. It’s an easy-peasy $12 solution, that works great.
Does this limit volume control to that on the speaker(S)?
That's what happens with my Audioengine D1 DAC connected to my 2012 mini.
The DAC then has a volume control that handles all the audio out the system would normally handle.
VLC's volume is independent of the DAC and it's controlled via the keyboard and/or trackpad.
So no keyboard control when audio is piped through the DAC, but in tuqq's case, he has no audio whatsoever.
