Pifi Dac+ V2.0 NOT WORKING on Rspberry Pi 3 (solved)

chighemezu

Hi, Alessandro from Bologna. I'm struggling to make a pifi dac+ V2.0, working on a raspberry pi3. The earphones on Raspy work. I can access to NAS (Netgear) and play the songs, I listen to the internet radios, but the dac seems not existing. I've tried to see if the DAC works with Volumio and I noticed that the DAC with the internet radios works very well. Can you help me? I'd like to solve the problems with Runeaudio because is much better and nicer to use than Volumio.Thanks in advance!
Alessandro

Your PiFi DAC is not listed in the Card List section of your debug Info. In this part, snipped from your info:

Card list: (/proc/asound/cards)
--------------------------------------------------
 0 [ALSA           ]:    bcm2835 - bcm2835 ALSA
                         bcm2835 ALSA

It should look something like this, snipped from my debug, and your DAC should be on a line numbered "1":

Card list: (/proc/asound/cards)
--------------------------------------------------
 0 [ALSA           ]: bcm2835 - bcm2835 ALSA
                      bcm2835 ALSA
 1 [sndrpihifiberry]: snd_rpi_hifiber - snd_rpi_hifiberry_dacplus
                      snd_rpi_hifiberry_dacplus
 2 [DAC            ]: USB-Audio - Nuforce Icon HDP DAC
                      Nuforce, Inc. Nuforce Icon HDP DAC at usb-3f980000.usb-1.3, full speed

edit:

Perhaps take a look at /boot/config.txt in the dtoverlay section. One of those lines should be uncommented for your DAC. Here is a link to a troubleshooting document that can help, see the section called "Enabling I2S DACs".

I don't know if this is the file you were referring to, but this is all what I've found with your hint.

Hi chighemezu,

yes it is the correct file.
You have to enable Hifiberry DAC plus (remove the # in front of the line).

# Uncomment one of these lines to enable an audio interface
#dtoverlay=hifiberry-dac
dtoverlay=hifiberry-dacplus
#dtoverlay=hifiberry-digi
#dtoverlay=hifiberry-amp
#dtoverlay=iqaudio-dac
#dtoverlay=iqaudio-dacplus

Great, it works really well. Thanks for the support. Very professionals!
By the way, I got a little problem with the NAS. The browser inside Rune does not allow me to see all the folders. It is not urgent, but I was wondering if next week I can ask here or I have to open a new topic (after having searched in the forum for the answer, maybe already pubblished).
Anyway Thanks again!!!

Hi chighemezu,

can ask here or I have to open a new topic

Please open a new one and give us the following information.

- CIFS/SMB or NFS?
- which folders are missing (names)?
- is there only music in your shared folder?
- did you try to rebuild your library manually?
