Haven't ever changed it from that.

Thanks. The pvr.hts add-on seems to create a lot of traffic. Can you disable it for a test?

If that doesn't work, disable other add-ons step-by-step.

Use the default skin.

Go to the forums main page, click on the magnifier icon, and search for "T620". Obviously it's working with LE, so a dongle issue seems to be the right guess. If you want to know for sure...

Maybe an out-of-sync error...

...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?

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.

Quote from LybsterKodi

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.
