Pi-DAC+ not available in Kodi
#1
Hi,

I've upgraded my Raspberry Pi 2 with a Pi-DAC+ (http://iqaudio.com/?page_id=454). I'm using Arch Linux. Playing music with mplayer works fine:
Code:
mplayer -nolirc -ao alsa:device=hw=1,0 test.mp3

Kodi is started as user kodi. This user should see the sound card:
Code:
[kodi@htpc ~]$ aplay -L
null
    Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)
pulse
    PulseAudio Sound Server
default:CARD=ALSA
    bcm2835 ALSA, bcm2835 ALSA
    Default Audio Device
sysdefault:CARD=ALSA
    bcm2835 ALSA, bcm2835 ALSA
    Default Audio Device
default:CARD=IQaudIODAC
    IQaudIODAC,
    Default Audio Device
sysdefault:CARD=IQaudIODAC
    IQaudIODAC,
    Default Audio Device

[kodi@htpc ~]$ aplay -l

card 1: IQaudIODAC [IQaudIODAC], device 0: IQaudIO DAC HiFi pcm512x-hifi-0 []

  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

However, the sound card is not detected by Kodi. I've uploaded the logfile here: http://xbmclogs.com/pmu8lfunq

Other sound cards like M2Tech Hiface are detected by kodi. One difference is my new DAC is using i2S Interface.

Any help is appreciated. I don't know what to do.

Hi,
I am using Kodi with Raspbian and the IQAudio DAC+ works fine. If you want to move to Raspbian I could perhaps help by supplying info about my configuration.

Have you added "dtoverlay=iqaudio-dacplus" to the config.txt file?
