Hi,

I've just got the Pi 3 and the digi+ board and so far I'm unable to get passthrough working for DD or DTS, can you guys confirm what OE and Kodi versions are workoing, and are you running it on a Pi 3?

I'm also looking into a Pi3 with the digi+ board. I'm not sure if this will help, but I run into their own installer, and it seems to be up to date with to the latest OpenElec:
https://support.hifiberry.com/hc/en-us/c...-Installer

If that fails, try: https://www.hifiberry.com/guides/configu...-overlays/

Try also looking at their forums, they seem pretty helpful and current.

Additionally: *BUMP* anyone using Pi3 with Hifiberry Digi+ who can advice whats best installation method?

I'm certainly no computer wiz but I did get the HiFi Berry running on a Pi3 with no problem. I initially tried to do it on LibreElec but was unsuccessful. I used OpenElec 6.0.3 and tried the installer without success. I then followed https://www.hifiberry.com/guides/configu...-overlays/
and was up and running perfectly. I subsequently went ahead and upgraded to LibreElec 7.0.2

The sound is awesome from a small device. I also added heat sinks and an acrylic case. WAF is very good

Hi,

Works for me.

I have the Hifi Berry Dig+ on a RPI 2 and 3 with Libreelec 7.0.2 which works a treat (note could not get it working with 7.0.0 or 7.0.1 using the image) also works with openelec 6.0.3.

You need to set the
"dtoverlay=hifiberry-digi" in the config.txt file tho.

regards
JB

I installed OpenElec 6.0.3 on PI3 yesterday from scratch. I had to use the HiFiBerry Installer app for it to work correctly with the Digi+

It does disable Bluetooth thou on that OpenElec version (for now). Other distros don't have that problem since their kernel is patched to fix an issue with shared I2S "things", OpenElec hasn't patched it yet...

I would have used LIBREELEC 7.0.2 or better as has an up-to-date (ish as well as you can I think) kernel and patching seems solid.

I actually swapped to LibreElec now, as they seem to be much more active than OE.

I only had to add the two lines in the config.sys, no need to disable bluetooth, like you said, their kernel has the issue patched already.
