[SOLVED] OSMC does not see my hifiberry dac+

Hello,

i just plugged a hifiberry dac+ in my raspbery pi 2 but i can’t see it under Settings/System/Audio. What should i do ?

many thanks !

G.

Use MyOSMC config to enable the DAC maybe?

Oups, sorry i forgot that… I now see the soundcard in the Settings/System/Audio but when i select it it doesn’t play movies (no sound & no image), and for music osmac has freezed. It seems also slower when i navigate.
bad luck…
i have a usb keyboard on it, a blutooth dongle, an “official” osmc remote with dongle, and a mouse. Do you think that could be the problem ? This is the latest osmc version

And you have selected it for output in settings/audio?

i did, yes

OK. Do you see it go active? Ie does the green LED light? I had some issues in the past like your, but now it works for me, apart from breaking video.

Does it work if you try playing stuff from the commandline? ($ aplay -l)

What does your config.txt look like?

yes, the green light is lit.

my config file

gpu_mem_1024=64
disable_overscan=1
start_x=1
disable_splash=1
dtoverlay=lirc-rpi
gpu_mem_256=64
gpu_mem_512=64

overscan_scale=1
dtparam=audio=off
dtoverlay=hifiberry-dacplus-overlay
sdtv_aspect=1
dtparam=gpio_in_pin=18
dtparam=gpio_out_pin=17

osmc@osmc:~$ aplay -l

I know you are now debugging audio, but you will never get video with 64mb.
