PiFi Digi+ with RasbPi 4B

    Hi all,

    I have an issue using the PiFi Digi+ (equal to Hifiberry Digi) on my RasbPi 4B 1GB. I have the same issue as was discussed here:

    Thread

    Should I change to Rpi 4B?

    Hello.

    5 years ago I bought Rpi (3B I suppose) with HiFiBerry. It's working great.

    But I want to install netflix plugin and for that I need to reinstall whole system (don't know why but even Youtube plugin is not working).

    Raspberry Pi 4B is out and I'm thinking of upgrading whole system - once again with LibreElec. So I have few questions.

    1. Should I upgrade Rpi 3 to Rpi 4? (For now I don't want to use 4K, but maybe in 3-5 years I'll change my TV).

    2. Which version 2GB or maybe 4GB?

    3. Is HiFiBerry…

    and here:

    HiFiBerry Digi Pro on RPi 4 no go

    So, conclusion is, for some reason the board is not correctly recognized during startup and the WM8804 chip goes into HW mode. When I reset the chip by shorting pin 6 to GND and then doing a soft restart on the RasbPi, the Digi board will be recognized correctly.

    As there is no solution so far, after each power cycle of the RasbPi I have to manually do the WM8804 reset to get the combination working.

    My question would be if there is any SW solution to the problem (e.g. a script that restarts the Digi board after the RasbPi is powered up).

    Thanks,

    Hmm, I would have expected that the WM8804's reset line is wired to a GPIO and controlled by the driver to avoid such issues - but that doesn't seem to be the case (the hifiberry digi and digi pro overlays don't contain wlf,reset-gpio DT properties).

    It's best you contact the manufacturer of your sound card, he should know how to deal with the issue.

    so long,

    Hias
