      bonjour,

      plus beaucoup de news avec ce sujet. Est-ce que la compatibilité en recalbox et HiFiBerry a été corrigée ?

      Merci d'avance

        Hi @Substring

        I also have a rpi3 with a hifiberry dacplus. I have no sound either.

        I followed the instructions found here. With the old hifiberry-dacplus.dtbo file, the card now shows up in reacalbox UI and alsamixer. (I got the device tree file here https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/tree/b4b1f641ba1290bdf275b99922e16c0194a8e54b/boot/overlays)

        But I can't have any sound. I tried to move up every sliders in alsamixer, but still no sound. Am I missing something?

            @substring yes, multiple times 🙂

            As much as I understood, it seems that we can't set volume through ES. So if I change the volume in ES, close the sound panel and reopen, volume is set back to 0. It is the expected behavior with hifiberry card, right?

            I can provide you dmesg output and other stuff tonight.

              @klubad ES is not very good at setting sound volume for anything other than the pi itself tonbe honnest. Alsamixer is a much better choice.

                @Substring well, I tried to set the volume through alsamixer (and amixer too). No sound.

                Any advice of what I could test next?

                  hello @substring maybe an old topic but there is no sound in ES since 4.1 and thought it was a temp bug but not fixed with 1802 (XU4) (sound in videointro ok, sound in game ok)

                  here are the ES logs at first boot:

                  lvl0: Error loading sound "../sounds/scroll.ogg"!
                  Audio device hasn't been opened
                  lvl2: req music [system.bgsound]
                  lvl2: playing
                  lvl2: Mix_PlayMusic: Audio device hasn't been opened

                  Going in to the sound menu and validating a soundcard activates sound in ES (sound volume is always 0 but does not affect anything, can be ignored for XU4)

                    @grgohr hey !
                    The sou d card parameter is supposed to be saved. How do you turn off your recalbox ?

                      @substring even after a proper menu>quit>shutdown or reboot I have the same behaviour and ES logs:

                      lvl0: VolumeControl::init() - Failed to find mixer elements!
                      lvl0: MUSIC Error - Unable to open SDLMixer audio: ALSA: Couldn't open audio device: Device or resource busy
                      lvl2: Mix_PlayMusic: Audio device hasn't been opened
                      lvl0: Error loading sound "../sounds/scroll.ogg"!
                      Audio device hasn't been opened

                      once I go to the menu>sound and change the device from auto>card or vice-versa (I hear a sound click), sound comes and back and ES logs shows:

                      lvl2: Shutting down SDL AUDIO
                      lvl0: VolumeControl::init() - Failed to find mixer elements!
                      lvl2: SDL AUDIO Initialized
                      lvl2: playing

                      also sound comes back after going into a game and chaning nothing in ES menu:
                      lvl2: Mix_PlayMusic: Audio device hasn't been opened
                      lvl2: Attempting to launch game...
                      lvl2: Shutting down SDL AUDIO
                      going back from game
                      lvl0: VolumeControl::init() - Failed to find mixer elements!
                      lvl2: SDL AUDIO Initialized
                      lvl2: playing

                      it seems that the following step is the key to have proper init of sound in ES
                      lvl2: Shutting down SDL AUDIO

                        @grgohr es may be trying to open the 1st sound card which must be the HDMI output (which hsmas no mixer available)
