    001687.125: dtdebug: Failed to open overlay file 'overlays/hifiberry-dacplus.dtbo'


    This is really odd. Check if the file exists on your installation. Here (LE 7.0.1 on a RPi2) it's there:

    Code
    LibreELEC:~ # ls -l /flash/overlays/hifiberry-dacplus.dtbo
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1358 May 17 06:31 /flash/overlays/hifiberry-dacplus.dtbo

    Also please post full logs and better use a paste site for this and then just post the URL:

    Code
    LibreELEC:~ # vcdbg log msg 2>&1 | paste

    so long,

  • LibreELEC 7.0 builds with Wolfson/Cirrus Logic Audio Card drivers

    Hi John,

    first of all thanks for your feedback!

    The following might be better placed in a different sub-forum:
    One thing I'm confused about is whether I should be able to use the setup to play back audio from remote devices using BT (eg. iPod).

    If I understand you right you'll need the RPi to do 2 things:

    • Act as a bluetooth audio sink (receiver)
    • Mix the received bluetooth audio stream into the ALSA output


    I think the latter could be possible with some pulseaudio configuration, maybe the former as well.

    But as I have zero knowledge about both bluetooth and pulseaudio I think it'd be better to ask that question in the general forum. I'm sure there are some experts around who can answer if and how that can be done.

    so long,

    Hias

  • LibreELEC 7.0 builds with Wolfson/Cirrus Logic Audio Card drivers

    These are unofficial / community builds for the Raspberry Pi with support for the Wolfson Audio Card and Cirrus Logic Audio Card from element14.

    Lastest builds and detailled installation/configuration instructions are available on my website.

    Here are direct links to builds based on the LE 7.0.1 release:
    7.0.1 build for original RPi
    7.0.1 build for RPi2/3

    The source code of these builds is available in my LibreELEC github repository.

    Quick first-time installation instructions:

    • First install an official LibreELEC RPi build
    • Download the Wolfson/Cirrus build and do a manual update (copy the tar file to the Update share or to /storage/.update/ on the command line and reboot)
    • After reboot add the following line to /flash/config.txt
      Code
      dtoverlay=rpi-cirrus-wm5102
    • Reboot again to activate the config change
    • Go to Kodi system settings and change the audio output device to ALSA (snd_rpi_wsp S/PDIF)


    Upgrading from OpenELEC 6.x:

    A manual update with the tar file should work just fine but can't be 100% guaranteed - better make a backup of your SD card in case something goes wrong.

    If the sound card no longer works check if you have the correct dtoverlay line in config.txt. In OpenELEC builds using "dtoverlay=rpi-cirrus-wm5102-overlay" (note the additional "-overlay" at the end) worked, too, but that's no longer the case with the current kernel versions. In that case remove the "-overlay" at the end, reboot and you should be fine again.

    so long,
