[SOLVED] Hifiberry DAC+ not listed in MPD audio output menu

ABBDVD

Hi
My Raspberry Pi B+ arrived today with the Hifiberry DAC+. I installed Runeaudio and it appears to work, except that there's no sound because I can't change in [url]runeaudio.local/mpd/[/url] the Audio Output to the DAC. Only RaspberryPi AnalogOut and Raspberry Pi HDMI Out are listed.
This is possibly the same problem as Triodefreak encountered here #51718 but I think it's not related to the HW Volume fix so I opened this up here (and nobody followed up on him).

I updated from git by following these instrcutions: #547 and then the ones from this post #517 to fix the hardware volume (except step 4 which says to change the audio output obviously as the DAC is still not listed).
The console output from the latter is the following:

[root@runeaudio ~]# redis-cli hset acards_details snd_rpi_hifiberry_dacplus "{\"sysname\":\"snd_rpi_hifiberry_dacplus\",\"extlabel\":\"HiFiBerry DAC+ (I&#178;S)\",\"mixer_numid\":\"1\",\"mixer_control\":\"Playback Digital\",\"hwplatformid\":\"01\",\"type\":\"i2s\"}"
(integer) 1
[root@runeaudio ~]# refresh_ao

Warning: socket_write(): unable to write to socket [32]: Broken pipe in /srv/http/app/libs/runeaudio.php on line 104

I confirmed that the DAC is working and hooked up correctly to the Raspberry Pi and the AV receiver which I'm using to test with the test tone generator Raspbian image from here http://www.hifiberry.com/guides/sd-card-images/ which worked flawlessly.

So I think this must be a software problem of runeaudio which I am encountering or my inability / something I haven't done yet. I searched for instructions in the DOCS and here in the forum if there's anything else that has to be done (like installing some sort of driver or so) but couldn't find any hints. There are also no remarks on the Hifiberry website noted for the software support of runeaudio (except that it's supposed to work).

Thanks for any help!

PS: I'm looking for some good, but not too expensive speakers here #716

Hi Chris,

did you select / enable the i2s driver (HifiBerry DAC+) on the settings page?

now I did. That was my problem. Thanks & solved.

(I do wonder a little that this isn't somewhere obvious in the documentation or in case it is, that my read/search skills are so bad. But I should have checked the settings in the first place, obviously.)

It is in the documentation:

Hello, I have the same problem of my Hifiberry not being listed in the Audio Output Interface dropdown menu

I have tried to apply the described solution. Unfortunately this is not possible for me as the "I²S kernel modules" item gives me no choice and says "Enable I²S output by selecting one of the available sets of modules (in this version you have to edit /boot/config.txt), specific for each hardware. Once set, the output interface will appear in the MPD configuration select menu, and modules will also auto-load from the next reboot. "

I don't know how to edit config.txt : how to do that and what to write.
This is very annoying, as I can't use my hifiberry.
My version is : RuneAudio_rpi2_rp3_0.4-beta_20160321_2GB.img

Can someone help me please ?

I've the same problem, Hifiberry DAC is not in the list at all.

Also noticed that Runeaudio seems to think this is a Rpi2 ... it's not, it's a Rpi3

"HW platform
RaspberryPi2 (08)"

I thought I found the solution, edited /boot/config.txt to enable the Hifiberry entries, rebooted and... nothing

Hi ambreswe,

This is normal see here.

I thought I found the solution, edited /boot/config.txt to enable the Hifiberry entries, rebooted and... nothing

Please enable only the one needed and not all!

Yes, I enabled only one, still didn't work, I gave up.

Hi ambreswe,

To get the best possible support, please specify your hardware and RuneAudio version. Collecting debug info is also suggested.
