Hifiberry Digi+ on Kodi 17.1 - bratton - 2017-04-24 Hi, everyone. My configuration was: Raspberry Pi 3 Hifiberry DIGI+ Raspbian Kodi 15.2 I have recently upgrade Kodi to version 17.1, but now it doesn't recognize the Hifiberry anymore. I can't enable passthrough audio. Audio device options are: PI: HDMI PI: Analogue PI: HDMI and Analogue ALSA: Playback/recording through the PulseAduio sound server ALSA: PulseAudio Sound Server When Kodi 15.2 was installed the selected audio device was snd_rpi_hifiberry_digi S/PDIF. Any ideas how to enable it in this new version of Kodi? Thank you! RE: Hifiberry Digi+ on Kodi 17.1 - ileenback - 2017-04-24 Whats your kernel version? RE: Hifiberry Digi+ on Kodi 17.1 - rascas - 2017-04-24 Configure pulseaudio externally or just remove it, things wil work like before. RE: Hifiberry Digi+ on Kodi 17.1 - HiassofT - 2017-04-24 Make sure you have all Raspbian Jessie updates installed Code: sudo apt-get update Passthrough on the Hifiberry Digi requires a proper Alsa configuration. The Alsa cards conf file was added some time ago in Raspbian. Without the updates you won't get passthrough in Kodi. so long, Hias RE: Hifiberry Digi+ on Kodi 17.1 - bratton - 2017-04-26 (2017-04-24, 22:00)ileenback Wrote: Whats your kernel version?

It worked. Thank you! RE: Hifiberry Digi+ on Kodi 17.1 - EssefBeh - 2017-05-07 Hi, everyone. My configuration is: Raspberry Pi 3 Hifiberry DIGI+ Openelec 8.0.3 which I just installed. Openelec 8.0.3 has Kodi version 17.1 which doesn't recognize the Hifiberry Digi+ sound card (aplay -l results in: aplay: device_list:270: no soundcards found...). The only Kodi Audio device options are: PI: HDMI PI: Analogue PI: HDMI and Analogue PULSE: Default, Bluetooth Audio (PULSEAUDIO) Could someone provide instructions concerning which programs to run or files to edit in order to remove pulseaudio? Maybe this would solve the missing Hifiberry digi+ audio options problems. Thank you! RE: Hifiberry Digi+ on Kodi 17.1 - popcornmix - 2017-05-07 In general to use audio HATs you need to add a line to config.txt like: Code: dtoverlay=hifiberry-digi RE: Hifiberry Digi+ on Kodi 17.1 - EssefBeh - 2017-05-07 @popcornmix Thank you for your answer, but I already added that to /flash/config.txt (after remounting /flash as read/write :-) Some suggested further adding dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt and dtdebug=1 but that too does not help. Further attempts which do not solve the problem were to add a file /storage/.config/modules-load.d/hifiberry.conf containing: snd_soc_bcm2708_i2s bcm2708_dmaengine snd_soc_wm8804 snd_soc_hifiberry_digi but this too did not help.... The one thing I have not yet managed to do is getting rid of pulseaudio in favour of ALSA... Many Thanks!

Could you test if this works with LibreELEC? https://libreelec.tv/ so long, Hias RE: Hifiberry Digi+ on Kodi 17.1 - EssefBeh - 2017-06-06 @Hias Thank you for your answer. I took me some time, but I have now installed LibreElec instead and (with "dtoverlay=hifiberry-digi" added to config.txt) the sound card appears, can be selected and works! I was confused by OpenElec describing their version 8.0.3 as "stable" when in fact it appears to be the buggy "testing" version while LibreElec is "stable". For a newcomer the relationship between LibreElec and OpenElec is somewhat unclear. RE: Hifiberry Digi+ on Kodi 17.1 - SlimPvC - 2017-09-01 I have exactly the same problem with the HifiBerry Digi with LibreElec: no sound coming from SP/DIF through ALSA Some suggest to disable PulseAudio completely to get the digital out to work on the HifiBerry, but I cannot find the instructions on how to disable PulseAudio on LibreElec. Can anyone help this pitiful noob? Thanks Peter (2017-05-07, 16:05)EssefBeh Wrote: I haven't tested myself but from what I've read so far this issue seems to be specific to OpenELEC. RE: Hifiberry Digi+ on Kodi 17.1 - EssefBeh - 2017-09-03 @SlimPvC Did you carry out the suggestion in post #8 (i.e. adding the line dtoverlay=hifiberry-digi to the file config.txt)? It is necessary. The path to the file config.txt is /flash/config.txt and /flash is usually mounted as read-only, so you have to remount /flash as read/write to be able to edit /flash/config.txt PS Something went wrong with your quote which combines my name with the text of HiassofT post at #10 RE: Hifiberry Digi+ on Kodi 17.1 - SlimPvC - 2017-09-03 I should've mentioned that I added that line to config.txt. Instructions to do so were easy to find. I can see the ALSA output in Kodi settings. and I can select them as output, but there's no sound from the optical or the coax output.. I only get sound through HDMI (which is standard RPi, not HifiBerry) (2017-09-03, 14:13)EssefBeh Wrote: PS Something went wrong with your quote which combines my name with the text of HiassofT post at #10 Sorry for this mix-up |
