Maybe an out-of-sync error...

Quote from logan893

...and the auto-adjusted out-of-sync latency due to self-learning was still in the 42-45 ms range.

Thanks for helping, though it's really not about the connection to my NAS...

Please try with a thumb drive anyway. I want to rule that out, before we dig deeper.

USB device and channel layout are looking good on the log.

• I'm not sure whether LE can play that "Microsoft variant" codec. Maybe you'll find another test file with a different 5.1 codec.
• It might also be a slow NAS connection ("Allowing max Out-Of-Sync Value of 35 ms"). So try to play from a thumb drive instead.

I'm using exFAT on my NAS (SSD), because it's optimized for flash memory. If your HDD is still an old, rotating one, use EXT4.

Foreword: As written at the Waveshare site, LE is not supported. You are experimenting on your own risk.

That display needs some software settings. You can only use the dtoverlay line at config.txt. All HDMI options have to go to cmdline.txt, which needs a different syntax.

Which of the above settings do you currently have in use for your 5 inch display?

Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

The output shows a DAC chip (PCM5102A), which you don't have. Your board has a digital-to-digital chip.

I think your HiFiBerry Digi2 Pro is broken. It's not detected correctly by HiFiBerryOS.

My solution was powerline ethernet.

Yep, or an Ethernet to WiFi adapter. The newer models have 5GHz support now. Benefit: Only Ethernet driver needed.

Thanks for testing! I'm referring to this thread. Can you downgrade to LE 10.0.1? That worked for the other guy.

I've just found an extra option, which you can try at config.txt:

force_eeprom_read=0

Use these two lines at config.txt:

force_eeprom_read=0
dtoverlay=hifiberry-digi

Craziest workaround since many moons!

On LE 11...

Theory: HiFiBerry driver has been updated since newer LE versions, so it's not working with your clone anymore.

Solution: Buy an original HiFiBerry soundcard. They are working fine on LE since many years.

Before buying a new soundcard, you can try Raspberry Pi OS with Kodi. If it's also not working there, my theory is confirmed.

Quote from rocktobe

I dont know which instructions you are talking about in Raspberry PI OS.

The hardware package has to have some instructions for driver installation. That's what I wanted to see.

It seems to use the HiFiBerry driver, but the soundcard is a HiFiBerry clone, so mysterious things can happen.

LE's standard configuration schema is a read-only default config, and a user config, which has to be created if needed.

Read here: Samba service- query about default settings and users

I guess you're scared because of this thread: Can't connect to MariaDB server after updating to 11.0.1

You can downgrade back to LE10 any time, so just try LE11, and report.

Boot GParted Live from a thumb drive on your Windows PC, and follow plan A. Be careful.
