No more sound after installing v. 4.1 in recalbox

@Substring
Problem when you offer your time on internet, it is very quick seen as social sevice, I make this experience in germany but sure eveywhere the same. People dont realize that you must also eat and have a place to sleep. And time to sleep.

[Substring]

@dragu and f*** too sometimes .. ooops hahaha
Hopefully there are some great people wh odo undertand that and who play the same game in return

I'm just waiting for hifiberry's answer for now ...

[Substring]

received a DAC+, will give it a go in a few days

[lackyluuk]

@Substring Great news! Could they give you even any further information?

[Dragu]

@Substring,
Great !
When the green led is on, you are a winner.

[Substring]

@Dragu @lackyluuk well 'im colour blind, so I can't tell if the led is green or red or god knows what. But i did get the hifiberry card in ES. No RCA cables yet at hand, but i'm sure it works. Tested on a fresh 17.11.10.2 on a pi2, using a DAC+ standard RCA version.

[Substring]

I DO have sound through the DAC

[Substring]

My simple step by step:

• had an img of 17.11.02, burnt it to the SD
• started the pi2, updated to 17.11.10.2
• made the 2 edits in /boot/config.txt
• rebooted
• and voilà

17.11.10.2

Great, but what you did, no modifications ?
I cannot understand, did you nail a chicken on the door to your hobbyroom ?

[Substring]

@dragu no, Recalbox recognizes its master, I can't help ... Is that the same DAC as me that you have ?

[Dragu]

@Substring
Hi,
I have a hifiberry DAC+ with jack connector, but free RCA soldering pinholes.
So I guess, it is the same as you. But you cannot tell me that nobody changed no code on this recently ? My luck that @lackyluuk has the same problem, so I am not standing there as fool

[lackyluuk]

I have the HifiBerry DAC+, HW 1.0.
It should be the same as @Dragu but not with the Jack but with the RCA connectors soldered to it.

Here you can see my card: https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/8031/recal-cardboard-box

@Substring
have you created a asound.conf file or was it not needed?

[Substring]

@dragu I'll give it a go on a pi3, but still, it does work for me

[lackyluuk]

@Substring Okay, I tested with another RPi3.

• downloaded latest recalbox build -> installed
• mounted Hifiberry DAC+
• Removed dtparam=audio=on from config.txt
• Added dtoverlay=hifiberry-dacplus to config.txt
• rebooted

Nothing happens! No LED is on, no card is visible in ES..maybe the card is kaput?

[Dragu]

@lackyluuk
Kaput twice no
Or voodoo or some code that changed bad in PI3 system.

[lackyluuk]

I tried now my hifiberry DAC+ Light card..and tada..recognized by recalbox....LOL
but i need my DAC+ standard...it looks really like its not working anymore..

[Dragu]

@lackyluuk
Try onetime with
http://www.zclub.eu/recalbox_11603320.img.xz
It will recover from death.
Anyway, the DAC+ light is just the simple DAC, so you must declare it as
hifiberry-dac, not hifiberry-dacplus.

[lackyluuk]

@dragu thanks, I will try it out now.
yes, this I am aware of. the DAC+ light was recognized, but not the DAC+ standard

[Dragu]

@Substring
From Hifiberry Website
"
The DAC+ Light uses a different DAC chip (from ESS instead of a Burr-Brown model), which allows us to offer you an even more affordable DAC for your Raspberry Pi. It lacks some features of the DAC+: It has no integrated EEPROM (which is no problem at all) or integrated volume control. To control the volume, you need to connect it to an amplifier with integrated volume control or use so-called software volume control. The latter option is supported in many—but not all—applications.
"
For me it seems as a driver was at a certain moment renamed and perhaps the driver for DACPLUS use the wrong chipset. Like both are different.
That could be a plausible explication.

[lackyluuk]

it becomes even more strange
With Dragu's image I can see with lsmod the DAC+. But the led is not working and I can also not access amixer or alsa settings...thus it does not really work...

dmesg tells me this (Image of Dragu):
