How to let Pi 2 and Hifiberry DAC+ get work with RUNE ?

jack

Dear All,

I need help on the topic!

Rune img didn't work on the Pi 2 with DAC+?

Can anyone tell me step by step to solve the problem?

I don't know anything about the Linux.

Just want to play the music!

Hi Jack,

here is an image you can try.
The Pi 2 needs a special image to work.

Thank you, Frank.

You do a great job!

Hi Frank,

I own the Raspberry Pi 2, and I installed this special image. So far it works great

As you might know the Raspberry has a static on the analogue audio output

That's why I have a question: I want to add the Hifiberry Dac https://www.conrad.nl/nl/raspberry-pi-b-uitbreidingsprintplaat-rb-hifiberry2-1276992.html

Do you happen to know if this will work? It has a 40 pins connection, just like the Pi 2.

Yes, it will, as claimed on its official page:

The HiFiBerry DAC+ is a high-resolution digital-to-analog converter for the Raspberry Pi Model A+/B+ and 2B.

Dear Bert,

I am using Pi 2 with hifiberry DAC+ now, It works great!

But you must edit the text file as I learned here.

Good luck!

Hello Guys,

Setting up Pi 2 with Hifiberry Dac +

1) install image: from here #86241

2) edit the file: /boot/config.txt changed to (remove # from the green text)

#device_tree_param=i2c_arm=on
#device_tree_param=i2c_vc=on
device_tree_param=i2s=on
#device_tree_param=spi=on
#device_tree_param=act_led_trigger=mmc

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

3) Reboot & go to the menu > MPD
4) Choose Audio Output: HifiBerry Dac + (I2S)

That's It

Hi Frank,

The new image seems work on Pi 2 but not for B+.

Can I us it on Pi B+ with Hifiberry DAC+?

The new UI is better. Even the sound bit better.

Regards,

Jack

P.S. Mamekedi, you are good man!

No, it only works on the PI2.

Hi,

it is enough to uncomment this line:
device_tree_overlay=hifiberry-dacplus

Dear Frank,

Thanks for your reply.

I hope the later release image can work on the B+ too.

By the way, I found when I open the Library the USB storage show (5) but I only got 3 in fact.

Is it bug?

This is probably because you have unplugged your USB storage twice without properly unmount it.

This does not work for me!

I am trying to get RuneAudio 0.3beta to work. I have a Pi 2 and Hifiberry DAC+. When I do all the steps in the previous posts (install the image given by the link, edit /boot/config.txt and reboot) the HifiBerry DAC+ does not appear in the "Audio Output Interface" menu.

I also receive these weird error messages upon dmesg

[    5.937035] systemd[1]: Socket service systemd-journald.service not loaded, refusing.

Is this a hardware issue or am I doing something wrong?

I have also tried out a lot of other Audio Players (moode player, volumio, archphile ). None of them worked. So far I like runeaudio the best. I really hope I can get it to work.

I have a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B and I have installed Runeaudio .4(build:beta-20141216) and am trying to get a Hifiberry Digi+ board to work with it. The board works fine with Volume, Max2Play and Hifiberry's modified Raspbian, so I know there is no problem with the board itself.

I edited the config.txt file, removing the comment # on the line regarding the Hifiberry Digi but that had no effect at all.

I noticed there is a commented out line near the top of the config.txt file with i2s and wording that the default is "off" and to enable it, change to "on". I don't know how to do this. Do I uncomment the line and change that line to i2s=on? Or do I do anything to that line at all.

I really don't know how to do any more to get this card working, there is nothing in these forums specifically relating to the Hifiberry Digi+, doing a search produced no results.

Has anyone had any luck getting this card to work, and if so, what are the DETAILED instructions for doing so. Thanks very much in advance for any response.

Hi RaspiPie,

Is this a hardware issue or am I doing something wrong?

Yes, i think this is a hardware issue either with your Pi or the DAC.

Hi wocowboy,

the only thing you have to do is:
- uncomment this line

dtoverlay=hifiberry-digi

in /boot/config.txt
- reboot your Pi

Please post your debug info as mentioned on the "post a reply" page.

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

Hi Frank,

thanks for the quick reply.

I feared that too. Is there a way to test the Pi or the DAC for hardware failures ? So I can figure out which one causes the trouble. If possible I want to replace only one and not both.

The strange thing is if in /boot/config.txt I uncomment

device_tree_overlay=hifiberry-dac

instead of

device_tree_overlay=hifiberry-dacplus

it partially works.

I still get the same error message though and it crashes sometimes. However I can listen to music. I am completely positive that I have a DAC+ and not a DAC. I compareed the sound quality. It is slightly inferiour to a standard CD audio playback.

Another thing: Spotify does not work for me. I can sign in but if I search for some music it takes forever and the folders are empty. Is this connected to the possible hardware issue ?

Hi RaspiPie,

please double check your DAC.

Configure device tree overlay file

You don’t have to edit /etc/modules anymore, but need to load the correct device tree file. 
To do this, you must edit /boot/config.txt and add the following line

DAC/DAC+ Light
    dtoverlay=hifiberry-dac
DAC+ standard/pro
    dtoverlay=hifiberry-dacplus
Digi/Digi+
    dtoverlay=hifiberry-digi
Amp/Amp+
    dtoverlay=hifiberry-amp

Is it a DAC + Light?

Thanks very much!! Yes it is a DAC+ Light !! So this explains it. I thought hifiberry-dacplus is for DAC+ pro and DAC+ light since they are both called DAC+. Sorry my bad.

What about the error messages? Should I just ignore them ?

What about Spotify ? This still does not work (maybe that should go into another post).
