HifiBerry Digi+ stopped being recognized after May Update on RPI 3

wait for testbuild of a new kernel and help Sam try it out see if that fixes the issue

Chris_Hogevonder · 6 June 2017 11:04

I’m willing to try a new kernel, if I can get it today. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all about testing and helping, but this update broke my mediacenter, which I really need to get running again.

A simple downgrade will fix that for now and will help a lot of other users who don’t have the knowhow or time to try experimental builds…

And to be honest, it appears to be a known issue from about 2 weeks ago affecting not only the Hifiberry, but a lot of soundboards, so how is it possible OSMC pushed this flawed kernel as a stable update?

sam_nazarko · 6 June 2017 11:07

There will be a kernel for you to test within 20 minutes, if that’s good enough for you.
Otherwise you can downgrade, but keep in mind that 4.4 isn’t supported and there are a lot of key fixes in 4.9.

I was not aware of any issues with HifiBerry DACs.
I believe the issue is actually a missing driver for the voltage regulator, and not related to the above issue at all. Nonetheless, I have picked the PCM commit to include in OSMC anyway.

Chris_Hogevonder · 6 June 2017 11:12

It isn’t support for 4.4 that’s the issue, it’s the fact that 4.4 was running stable and 4.9 (for now) broke my mediacenter. The normal thing to do in that situation is to downgrade back to the last known good version (4.4) until the issue is solved.

But please let me know when the kernel is ready (and how to install it, because the way the RPi handles kernel-images is a bit different from what I’m used to with desktop versions of Linux…)

sam_nazarko · 6 June 2017 11:14

Well – we try and test as much hardware as possible, but there are limits. We did have a 4.9 testing thread and we received positive reports from it.

The problem is with your downgrade approach is that if everyone just decides to downgrade, then the problem never gets solved, or worse, problems are only found later when more users upgrade.

You can downgrade via APT, but it’s not recommended.

majherek · 6 June 2017 11:15

I will try new kernel and test it. Plz send info, when it will be accessible.

Toast · 6 June 2017 11:30

it didnt break its just missing some stuff so keep calm wait 20 min and Sam will post instructions that goes for all of the hifiberry users that got issues on this thread.

majherek · 6 June 2017 12:26

Hi,

is the testing kernel ready? I didn’t received anything from Sam.

sam_nazarko · 6 June 2017 12:35

Thanks for offering to test this kernel. It took some time to build it.

You can try it as follows:

wget "https://www.dropbox.com/s/uaimeepufmaf825/rbp2-image-4.9.29-4-osmc.deb?dl=1" -O kernel.deb
sudo dpkg -i kernel.deb
sudo reboot

Please feedback.

Not working for me either, sam.

here’s my config.txt:

It is in https://paste.osmc.tv/uzufiqikoy in section “Pi config”

majherek · 6 June 2017 13:39

Any ideas?

Toast · 6 June 2017 13:43

Take a chill pill and let Sam figure it out, asking every 5 min wont make it work faster… if your in a huge hurry downgrade instead…

majherek · 6 June 2017 13:46

I’ll wait.

pelwell · 6 June 2017 15:09

I don’t have a system to test this for real, but with a bit of driver hackery the soundcard initialises OK.

Can you run modprobe i2c_bcm2835?
