This get more and more off-topic for the ALSA community, but ...

For the signals, use a voltage shifter, something like the 74LVC2T45.
For Vdd, if you have to provide that to the board, use a proper
switching power regulator with low ripple, or an LDO, and care well for
blocking.

Also check whether the voltages you applied all the time could have
damaged the chip permanently.
