Hi all,
I’m just trying to setup my new RPI with Hifiberry DAC+ (Standard RCA).
Everything seems to be as it is documented but: There is no signal on the RCA Output :-(.Hardware:Raspberry Pi 3 Model B
Hifiberry DAC+ (Standard RCA)
Max2Play Version 2.44 (Premium)I did the setup like documented, No Error Messages , but no sound on the RCA Outputs:
I use Squeezelite with Squeezeserver 7.9
But I have the same problem when I play wav-files with aplay:I have no glue whether this is a configproblem (in most cases the problem sits in front the screen :-), driver issue, hardware issue (the green light on the hifiberry card is shining brightly…), but you never know .
Has someone an indication what might be the problem? and possible solutions? Hints to debug further?
Some Systemfiles:

21. August 2017 at 11:05 #30708Hi Grisha,
Thanks for the detailed logs.
Your output device seems to be correct. The playback issue might be due to another player. If you have another player active, please deactivate it for the time being (MPD, Spotify Connect). Also, please check your output device and try replacing it if possible for a test to rule it out as a source of error.
Also, please deactivate build-in audio in the Raspberry Settings and check the advanced options of your Squeezelite. You can add the hardware volume parameters as well: https://www.max2play.com/en/wiki/optimizing-squeezelites-volume-control/
21. August 2017 at 12:24 #30713Heiner,
thanks a lot for your detailled answer. In the meantime I did further testing. (New image etc.)
Also tried to deactivate the internal soundcard, and to enable digital volume control.
Nothing did help.So my guess is: The Hifiberry DAC is broken.
I sent it back today morning, and ordered a new device.
Hopefully this will work…. If not I will be back with this issue on the board.
Kind regards

i have a similar problem: With only gmrenderer active (no player started) i didn’t manage to switch from RP3 output to the installed DAC+.
All settings point to the DAC+ on the WEB surface.Here the „debug output“:

closedThanks – Udo
15. September 2017 at 12:47 #31343cmdline „speaker-test -Ddefault:sndrpihifiberry -twav“
works fine. No Hardware issue.
So what about gmrenderer? Seems as if she is not willing to use what i told her..
Thanks – Udo
15. September 2017 at 12:56 #31345Hi Grisha,
thanks for replying.
I used the thread title because it described my existing problem and the are so many similar threads in this forum.
It seems to be a configuration problem in my case because a can use the DAC+ from the command line.
Thanks & good luck – Udo
