I have just seen that topic and I have a quick question, I am trying to setup the following on pi5. Knowing pi5 is able to handle video for both HDMI. I wanted to have one hdmi full video for JVC projector and the other one for video old tv and sony mdr hw700ds for audio, otherwise my jvc will be limited by MDR sony avm. I am not able to setup and detect hifibery digi 2 pro. I need also spdif for klips speakers when I do not wanna use Sony MDR. Is it possible what I wanna do? How could I even get the hifibery working?

Take another microSD, install Raspberry Pi OS on it, and test Digi2 Pro with it. So we can figure out whether it's a general problem, or just an LE issue.

I will do it but a bit later, and I will let you know. Now I have a quesion, should digi be working on Pi5? Could it be related to the libreelec version (latest)?

I think HiassofT is right - it's very likely a hardware issue. Have a look at your Digi2 Pro board. If it has HW 2.1 printed, then you have to solder, or ask HiFiBerry for a replacement:
PostRE: [RPi4] HiFiBerry Digi2 Pro not found
I couldn't find any info what the Hifiberry folks changed between rev 2.1 and 2.2 but I found a post where a user got his Digi+ pro working with a slight hardware modification - something similar might work with the Digi2 Pro as well:

From the looks of it Hifiberry messed up their hardware design and I'm wondering why they didn't wire up the WM8804 reset to a GPIO pin like outlined in the reference design in the WM8804 datasheet, this…HiassofTNovember 22, 2025 at 1:07 PM -
I can return the digi 2 pro, not problem. I am having also pi4 with digi+ standard from 2020. I am not sure if I have understood everything correctly but it should work with pi5?
