Pi Zero 2 W with Boss Mini DAC

I’m trying to use a newly purchased Boss Mini DAC with a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W but Balena Sound seems to be unable to connect to the DAC;

However on a Raspberry Pi 4 it’s recognised fine;

I tried on an old Pi Zero W and had the same result as the Pi Zero 2 W - no sound card detected. Is there a difference in how the images are built? Are there any additional properties I need to set in order for Balena Sound to recognise the DAC on a Pi Zero?
