Hi maxchess,

you have to enable I2S on the settings page first.

He uses a Pi1 not a Pi2, so this will not work for him.

Great thanks, OK that worked, now the system plays through the DAC+ but no hardware volume control, and software volume control doesn't work either with HiFiBerry selected.
config.sys doesn't contain anything dac related stuff, assume thats for Pi2.
So any thoughts on how I get hardware volume control going that the DAC+ says it supports?

Correction: software volume control does work, but not Hardware

I'm trying to apply the fix, but after the execution of the first line of command, the refresh_ao command is not working and I don't get the Dac+ in the list of the output.

Running a Raspberry PI 2 + HifyBerry DAC+ Pro and RuneAudio 0.3 Beta

Is there something I'm missing?

If you don't see your dac in the Audio Output Interface drop down list, I would first check /boot/config.txt again, and make sure that the comment symbol (the "#") has been removed from the correct line. Example:

Code: Select all
# Uncomment one of these lines to enable an audio interface
#device_tree_overlay=hifiberry-dac
device_tree_overlay=hifiberry-dacplus
#device_tree_overlay=hifiberry-digi
#device_tree_overlay=hifiberry-amp
#device_tree_overlay=iqaudio-dac
#device_tree_overlay=iqaudio-dacplus

Hi mikbraga,

to get the Hifiberry DAC + pro working you have to update the kernel first.
Please search the forum.
Code: Select all
pacman -Sy --force raspberrypi-firmware-bootloader linux-raspberrypi


After that check the config, like PeteB told you.

Thanks for the support.

I did the kernel update and after the config.txt file fix the HiFiBerry DAC+ is now in the list.

With the nightly build (I did try this to use the android app) the HW volume control was working, but now, after a clean reinstall of the 0.3 beta + kernel update + config.txt edit I can't get the HW volume control working any more.

Do you need the nightly build for the hw volume control to work properly?

Thx

@mikbraga:

Try this (unless Frank has a better suggestion):

Code: Select all
redis-cli hset acards_details snd_rpi_hifiberry_dacplus "{\"sysname\":\"snd_rpi_hifiberry_dacplus\",\"extlabel\":\"HiFiBerry DAC+ (I²S)\",\"mixer_numid\":\"1\",\"mixer_control\":\"PCM\",\"hwplatformid\":\"01\",\"type\":\"i2s\"}"

and

Code: Select all
/srv/http/command/refresh_ao

and reboot.

This is abstracted from some of Frank's posts earlier in this thread, and worked to enable hw volume control on my DAC+

The two commands above were my last step to getting it working, after the config.txt edits. After all that, the Remote Control Android app is also working well for me. On an old Nexus tablet it is an improvement over the browser, and coexists peacefully with the Kodi Remote App, and Bubble UpNP.

Btw, I'll be curious to read how you like the DAC+ Pro.
