It works in rasp 2, with my DAC connected spdif sometimes it s a problem to have the connection, I suggest to switch from another source ( USB …) and then to spdif again
Is it that the volume is too low? I assume that was my problem. I couldn’t hear anything until I changed the “Mixer Type” from “Software” to “None”. I probably could have just turned the volume up in the software.
I now have it working on an older Pi with a HiFiBerry Digi. When I’m back home in a couple of days I’ll put the SD card in the newer Pi with HiFiBerry Digi+. I’ll report back.
I have the I2S DAC turned On and I have selected DAC Model: Hifiberry DIGI (I don’t think there is one specifically for the DIGI+). That part is fine after a restart.
If next to Output Device I then choose Hifiberry DAC and click save I get the message “The configuration has been updated succesfully”. I click play etc. but after a while the GUI hangs in the web browser and refreshing leaves me with spinning dots and a “Waiting for volumi.local…” message. I can leave it that way for a while and nothing will happen. Eventually I log in via ssh and restart the raspberry pi using ‘shutdown -r now’.
When I then go back to Playback Options the I2S DAC will still be on, Hifiberry DIGI selected, but the Output Device will not have changed to Hifiberry DAC.
I’ll have to check when I’m home. I’ve certainly had problems with the UI hanging, but these are mostly sorted by refreshing the webpage. I don’t remember having to resort to ssh. On occasions I have found it hasn’t saved the settings, but on repeating I have got them saved.
I can’t get my RPI B+ with Hifiberry digi+ to work with Volumio 2.001. Worked fine with 1.55. There seems to be no output to the external dac. Normale the dac makes a clicking sound when an active source is selected. Now it remains silent.
Tried several complete reinstalls, selected hifiberry digi / hifiberry dac, looked at volume etc. No succes.
Any ideas? I really want to get Volumio 2 working.
I have just done a fresh install of Volumio 2.001, setting up wifi and installing the spotify plugin.
All goes well until I turn on I2S, select the ‘Hifiberry DIGI’ DAC, and click Save. I get a notification telling me it is restarting and the Web GUI stops working.
I don’t know if it actually does restart but I can still see the RaspberryPi on my network and can SSH to it but the web interface won’t come up (refresh just leaves the browser waiting). It’s been like this for about half an hour so I don’t think it’s impatience on my part.
After shutting down via ssh and powering the Pi off and on again the web interface comes back and the HifiBerry DAC appears as the Output Device.
I can start playing something from Spotify, but I don’t see any red light in the TOSLINK connection.
Thanks,
Nick
