Same issue here.

Hereā€™s my config.txt :

ā€œdmesgā€ show this

Can it be related to ALSA being set by default on RPI ? Iā€™ve noticed that in Kodi, my ALSA device name has changed to ā€œbcm2835ā€

Hi,

Iā€™m experiencing the same issue with my Hifiberry DAC+ since I did the update an hour ago

  • No sound from the Hifiberry DAC
  • Issue happened after updating OSMC
  • Iā€™m running OSMC on a raspberry Pi 2
  • Peripherals:
    ā€“ USB IR receiver (Chinavasion CSVB 983)
    ā€“ Samsung TV
    ā€“ Marantz Amp

Iā€™ve uploaded all the logs here:
http://paste.osmc.io/xudezojeya

Regards,
Daniel

Same here.

Was working fine last night through hifiberry digital card with optical cable to Hi fi.

Realised today that sound was coming out of TV rather than Hi fi.

Checked settings>system>audio output was still set to alsa. But canā€™t get into my osmc>pi config to check the options there. All the options work in the menu app store etc but selecting pi config does nothing.

That fixed the issue for me. (Raspberry Pi 2 + Hifiberry DAC+ + OSMC)

Sound is back :slight_smile: unfortunately AC3 is still not working with my old Sony STR-DB930 :-(. DTS is working fine. Still a kodi bug that needs to be resolved :slight_smile:

Hello, after upgrading my hifiberry digi+ doesnā€™t work anymore. I added the dtparam=audio=off and saw that the salsa was changed to the snd_rpi_hifiberry_digi S/PDIF. But still no sound. Also the analogue sound gives a lot off noise but no actual sound.

Has anyone an idea?

10

check your audio settings in Kodi, mine works with digi+ (so it seems)
you need dtparam=audio=off in your config.txt and reboot off course

11

I saw in the kodi audio settings that the pass though device wasnā€™t set correctly. It now works fine. Thanks for the support.

12

Using the config.txt command seems to have sorted out the sound issue now. And ALSA name has returned to hifiberry, correctly.

Still canā€™t get into the pi config menu thoughā€¦

13

Does not seem to work for me though. I have a DAC+ card and it stopped working. I added dtparam=audio=off to config.txt and tried both dtoverlay=hifiberry-dacplus and dtoverlay=hifiberry-dacplus-overlay, but the card will not initialise:

[ 8.302166] bcm2708_i2c 20804000.i2c: BSC1 Controller at 0x20804000 (irq 77) (baudrate 100000)
[ 8.407269] snd-rpi-hifiberry-dacplus sound: ASoC: CODEC DAI pcm512x-hifi not registered
[ 8.407303] snd-rpi-hifiberry-dacplus sound: snd_soc_register_card() failed: -517

Any ideas?

FWIW, I installed alsa-utils and they say:

osmc@pi:~$ sudo aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: sndrpihifiberry [snd_rpi_hifiberry_dacplus], device 0: HiFiBerry DAC+ HiFi pcm512x-hifi-0
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

Edit: So, now it works, despite the error message in dmesg. FWIW, my config.txt is below. I have a HiFiBerry DAC+

dtoverlay=hifiberry-dacplus
dtparam=audio=off
core_freq=375
hdmi_mode=20
disable_splash=1
arm_freq=850
hdmi_group=1
start_x=1
sdtv_aspect=1

gpu_mem_512=144
hdmi_ignore_cec_init=1
gpu_mem_1024=256

Thanks, solved my issue with the DAC + pro also. (Pi2, DAC+ pro, OSMC jan)

Will this fix be included in a future version of OSMC?

15

Sam? Do you have a HifiBerry card to test with. I mean for future releases as that card is pretty common. If not, then iI would gladly send you one :slightly_smiling:

16

I have the issue as well. The dtparam=audio=off line did solve the issue partially. The Hifiberry DAC+ is selectable as sound device in OSMC. However thereā€™s still no sound at all.

Note: I had found a way to solve the issue myself by blacklisting snd_bcm2835 manually, I undid that when I found the ā€œofficialā€ fix.
I suspect the official fix does just that. It prevents the snd_bcm2835 module from loading.

Hereā€™s a test with mplayer:

Note that when I play a sound and the HifiBerry DAC+ is powered down (which happens after a minute of activity) a soft ā€˜popā€™ sound can be heard through the speakers as it powers up. Also sound over HDMI works fine. Itā€™s just that itā€™s going to a horrible beamer speaker.
Somehow it almost works.

dtparam=audio=off
solves also for me. Thank you

18

I had a similar issue with the Raspyplay4 DAC with the latest upgrade, dtparam=audio=off did the fix.

19

Likewise I had lost the sound from my HiFiBerry DAC + after a recent update, thanks for all the hints in this thread which helped me fix the problem. Again ā€œdtparam=audio=offā€ fixed the problem.

These add on boards are not exactly plug and play are they?

20

In our February update we automatically set this parameter to off when you select an I2S DAC

They are pretty plug and play

The OSMC DAC will obviously be the best when we launch it soon :wink:
