Hifiberry DAC+ PRO not working

Help and Support Raspberry Pi
1

Hi I have a Hifiberry DAC+ PRO which I added to my Rasperry PI with OSMC.

I have added the following lines to the /boot/config.txt file

dtoverlay=hifiberry-dacplus
dtdebug=1
dtparam=audio=off

I then reboot the rpi. Once the rpi is rebooted, the /boot/config.txt file is returned to its original file, minus the additions I added for the hifiberry. As a result, the hifiberry is not recognized.

Also, I have gone into the OSMC config and selected the hifiberry-dacplus-overlay in the sound card menu. After I reboot, the setting is reset to “NONE” and the /boot/config.txt if back to its original file (all the hifi berry entries are gone.)

Regardless of how I do it:

  1. manually edit /boot/config.txt
  2. set the sound card overly in the gui settings
  3. do both 1 and 2 above.

After I reboot the rapsberry pi, the settings are all reverted to the original settings and files.

Please help. What am I doing wrong? Is there a step I am missing?
Thanks Marc.

Try

dtoverlay=hifiberry-dacplus-overlay

Or setup via My OSMC

Same.

I used My OSMC to select hifiberry-dacplus-overlay. after rebooting, its reset to “NONE”

I manually edited the /boot/config.txt

AFTER editng /boot/config.txt file
osmc@osmc:~$ cat /boot/config.txt
gpu_mem_1024=256
hdmi_ignore_cec_init=1
disable_overscan=1
start_x=1
disable_splash=1
gpu_mem_256=112
sdtv_aspect=1
dtparam=gpio_in_pin=18
gpu_mem_512=144
dtparam=gpio_out_pin=17
dtoverlay=hifiberry-dacplus-overlay
dtdebug=1
dtparam=audio=off

AFTER reboot /boot/config.txt file
osmc@osmc:~$ cat /boot/config.txt
gpu_mem_1024=256
hdmi_ignore_cec_init=1
disable_overscan=1
start_x=1
disable_splash=1
dtoverlay=lirc-rpi
gpu_mem_256=112
sdtv_aspect=1
dtparam=gpio_in_pin=18
gpu_mem_512=144
dtparam=gpio_out_pin=17

The /boot/config.txt has been reset to its original file. My modification gone.

After the reboot I ran the command sudo vcdbg log msg. Here is the output.

Not understanding why the config.txt is being reset to its original file after editing.

Thanks Marc

Select it from My OSMC?

5

I have selected it from My osmc. That does not work either. After I reboot, it is back to its original setting, like i never changed it.

6

This means you have a bad SD card (possibly counterfeit).

7

I purchased the SD card from your web site. Hopefully that will fix the issue.

I will post back with the results with the new osmc card.

Thanks Marc

8

It definitely will.

Thanks for your support

Hi Sam, I am not sure of the correct forum to ask this question, so I apologize if this is the wrong place, but my sales receipt does not list a contact email, nor do I see a sales related forum. I placed an order for a sd card on 11/22 (Order #3543). I got a receipt on 11/24 that my order was complete. The receipt said the shipping was 3-5 day international. I assume it was shipped on the complete date of 11/24. It is now 9 business days after shipping and I have not received the SD card. How long does shipping to the US typically take? Can you verify when it was shipped? Do you have a tracking # to see were it is?

Thank you in advance for you help.

It was shipped on 24th November.

USPS is being extremely slow this Christmas. I suspect it’s in customs still.

We don’t bother tracking low value items such as SD cards, individual remotes, as it’s easier to track them upon activation.

Thank you.
