March 1st update breaks sound output

Hi,
I really like OSMC and know how difficult it is to program for multiple devices and environments. Thanks Sam and all other contributers. With that said here is my bugs report:

  • the March 1st update broke several things on my OSMC installation.
  • hardware: PI2, Official 7" touchscreen, IQaudIO Digi-Amp+
  • /boot/config.txt was clobbered. I needed to change the original for the device tree overlay of the digi-amp+
  • cron jobs were deleted
  • Digi-Amp+ not selectable in Kodi/Settings/System/Audio-Output/output device. I actually now needed to define it as default alsa card/device in /etc/asound:
    defaults.pcm.card 1
    defaults.pcm.device 0
    Here is the output of aplay -l
    osmc@musiCO:~$ aplay -l

What do you mean by clobbered ? We don’t touch your config.txt file at all during updates. You would need to explain what changed in it rather than just “clobbered”. We also don’t touch any cron jobs.

Without a log file its impossible to know but my first guess would be that you’ve suffered some filesystem corruption.

The update changed the contents of /boot/config.txt back to the original contents before my changes.
The changes I made were:

change lirc-rpi settings because the stock settings use the I2S bus for lirc

dtoverlay=lirc-rpi:gpio_in_pin=22

add overlay for iquadio card

dtoverlay=iqaudio-dacplus

I am happy to give you log files. Which would you need and how would I send them to you?
