    Help! Help! Help!

    Dear Sir,

    I am using LibreELEC 7.0.2 on a Raspberry pi 2.
    I plan to add a PiFi DAC 2.0 soundcard to the Raspberry pi.

    One enthusiast suggested editing the following to enable the PiFi DAC to work on LibreELEC :

    mount /flash -o remount,rw
    nano /storage/.config/modules-load.d/hifiberry.conf
    snd_soc_bcm2708_i2s
    bcm2708_dmaengine
    snd_soc_wm8804
    snd_soc_hifiberry_dacplus
    nano /storage/.config/modprobe.d/disable-lirc.conf
    blacklist lirc_rpi
    nano /flash/config.txt
    dtoverlay=hifiberry-dacplus
    dtdebug=1
    sync
    reboot

    Your advice is kindly sought if this would work for the Raspberry pi 2/LibreELEC 7.0.2/PiFi DAC 2.0 setup.
    Thank you.

  • RPI3 + HifiBerry / HiFiDigi passtrought 5.1 ???

    Hello Allarick,

    Leon Buitendam from Holland has suggested the following configuration for the RPi2 and PiFi DAC 2.0 :

    mount /flash -o remount,rw
    nano /storage/.config/modules-load.d/hifiberry.conf
    snd_soc_bcm2708_i2s
    bcm2708_dmaengine
    snd_soc_wm8804
    snd_soc_hifiberry_dacplus
    nano /storage/.config/modprobe.d/disable-lirc.conf
    blacklist lirc_rpi
    nano /flash/config.txt
    dtoverlay=hifiberry-dacplus
    dtdebug=1
    sync
    reboot

    Your advice is kindly sought if this would also work well for the above setup.
    Thank you.

  • HiFi Berry DAC + supported?

    Quote from lrusak

    You complain about the poor audio quality via hdmi (which I don't agree, I think the audio is great) yet you buy a cheap Chinese knock off? Hmmm.

    Sir,

    Thank you for the comments.

    Of course when I mentioned HDMI i was refering to routing the RPi 2 through my low-end Samsung TV.

    But do you really feel that the cheap Chinese HiFiBerry clone would output poor quality sound.

    Thank you.

    Strange,
    When I add "dtoverlay hifiberry-dacplus" in /flash/config.txt of my LibreElec 7.0.1, lsmod yields:

    Code
    snd_soc_pcm512x_i2c     2051  0
snd_soc_pcm512x        16309  1 snd_soc_pcm512x_i2c

    What is your version of LibreElec? If it is 7.0.1, please provide your config.txt and a log; otherwise upgrade.

    Dear LibreELEC support,

    I using LibreELEC 7.0.2 with RPi 2 and the poor audio output from the HDMI output.

    In order to improve the quality of sound I purchased the PiFi DAC v2.0. This seems to be a Chinese clone of the HiFiBerry DAC Plus.

    I wish to seek your advice on how I can enable the PiFi DAC to work with the RPi 2 and channel the analog audio output to my audio system.

    Thank you.
