Update from Pi3 to Pi3+ with wm8804 soundcard (No sound)

Help and Support Raspberry Pi

Hi,

I used OSMC (Version from January 2018) with this card SOUND CARD on my Raspberry Pi3. It worked fine (I selected hifiberry-digi in the config)

So today I updated to the new version of OSMC and put afterwards the SD-Card in my new Pi3+ with the mentioned soundcard. System booting went fine, selecting hifiberry-digi with the gui worked as expected but I had no sound after the reboot.

dmesg shows the following errors regarding the sound card:

Any idea where to start?

Thank you :slight_smile:

Can you see if the latest version works with the WM8804 on Pi3 to confirm it’s specific to Pi 3 B+?

3

Good idea. With the old Pi3 it is working. So it is Pi 3 B+ related

4

Does it work under Raspbian?

5

I don’t know. I ordered a second sd card and will install the latest raspbian on it. (On Thursday I will give you an answer)

Any other ideas what I could do during the waiting time?

On raspbian it works fine and a clean installation of OSMC is also working.
I will not investigate the reason why the update did not work. (I broke my old image and don’t have a backup … but sometime it is the best way to have a clean fresh new installation :slight_smile: )

Thx

Hi,

today I installed the latest version of OSMC and have no sound. But I think the kerner driver is loaded correctly.

But no sound output on SPDIF. How can I start my debug process?

Solved:=> 1. Settings -> System -> Audio Output -> Audio output device
Here I chose "ALSA: Default (snd_rpi_hifiberry_digi S/PDIF).
