[RPi3] HiFiBerry DAC not stored as default audio device

    I've been using Libreelec9.x on a Raspi3. I installed a Hifiberry for audio output. Everything worked great.

    Now I've updated to Libreelec12.2 (complete reinstallation and also reconfiguration of the system). In config.txt, I entered dtoverlay=hifiberry-dac, as it was before.

    After selecting it in the GUI, everything worked as it should. But after a shutdown or restart, the audio output is set to DEFAULT and I have to manually select the Hifiberry again in the GUI.

    What could be the reason for this and how can I make my desired audio output the DEFAULT?

    I have set up Aeon NOX - Silvo as my skin.

    Thank you very much for your help.

    Hello,

    I haven't been home for the last 10 days.

    I've now switched to Estuarty. The same behavior occurs: after rebooting or restarting, the default audio output is active again instead of the preset output and has to be changed manually. Libreelec seems to have a bug.

    Do you mean an installation from scratch? That's the officially suggested way to "update" from LE 9.x to LE 10+.

    Background: If you're using an outdated settings file internally, then something like your audio issue can happen.

    Yes. I completely reinstalled Libreelec on a new SD card. Then I set up the add-ons and AeonNox Silvo skin. I reconfigured the interface and filled the libraries. Just like it was the first time.

    Try without any HiFiBerry entries at config.txt. There is a chance that it's detected automatically in newer LE versions, and explicit activation leads to a setup mismatch.
