I have 3 Raspberry PI based systems. I can only change the GPU memory setting on one of them. On the others if I try to change the GPU memory then the only message displayed is reboot required, no message about changing settings, and indeed the setting does not change.
The system on which it works was built using a v2.26 Max2Play image sourced from the HiFiBerry Installer app and updated to v2.44. The systems on which the setting does not work were built using a v2.44 image downloaded from Max2Play.
In addition, on the Raspberry Settings page the CPU frequency setting has 2 drop down options on the box that works, and no options displayed on the other two boxes.
What I did also notice in the DEBUG Information on the Raspberry Settings page is:
For the system that works the final lines are
=============================================================================================================================================
# Additional overlays and parameters are documented /boot/overlays/READMEdtoverlay=hifiberry-digi
gpu_mem=16
=============================================================================================================================================And for the systems that do not work
=============================================================================================================================================
# Additional overlays and parameters are documented /boot/overlays/README# Enable audio (loads snd_bcm2835)
dtparam=audio=on
gpu_mem=128dtoverlay=hifiberry-digi
=============================================================================================================================================Whether this has any bearing on the problem or not I do not know.
29. September 2017 at 14:41 #31627Hi foz,
I just tested the GPU setting on a new image and it worked right after reboot.
What Raspberry Pi model do you use?
The version 2.26 should still be based on Raspbian wheezy, another Debian source.
However, my installation with 2.44 based on Raspbian Jessie lite saved the change to 16 right away after reboot.
Could you share the complete debug info of your Raspberry Settings?
29. September 2017 at 22:07 #31635Just reloaded from scratch on one of the boxes.
Box is Raspberry PI 2 with HiFiBerry Digi+ connected via LAN
1. Win32DiskImager to put m2p_rpi_default_244_wps_ap_expand.img to MicroSD card
2. Insert card and reinsert power lead
3. Login to http://max2play
4. Select HiFiBerry from prompt window, driver installs
5. Select Digi+ on HiFiBerry tab and save
6. Switch to Raspberry Settings tab, no GPU memory size displayed, cannot see debug info
7. Switch to Settings/Reboot tab
8. Activate with email address
9. Switch to Raspberry PI Settings tab, GPU memory reported as 128, DEBUG Information visible
10. Change GPU ram setting from 128 to 16 and Save
11. Reboot needed message displayed, but GPU ram setting reading 128 again
12. Switch to Settings/Reboot tab
13. Reboot
14. GPU ram still set to 128DEBUG Information from Raspberry Settings

30. September 2017 at 18:54 #31640Hi I have the same problem with the CPU frequency changes, won’t work…
In the new beta version the GPU is changable and will be saved
28. November 2017 at 10:31 #32653Hi TJH,
The fix will be included in the next version, 2.45, that will be released rather soon.
For now, you can just make a beta update to change it.
29. November 2017 at 11:37 #32691Depends on the applications you want.
Generally, Max2Play does not need manual kernel updates. If a change is necessary, it will usually be done with the setup you select (like when installing JustBoom sound cards).
