leafy Hi there, does it mean that we can directly mount all HifiBerry products on top of the Tinkerboard? Or do we need to route the pins separately?
-
HiFiBerry team Yes, it can be directly plugged onto the Tinkerboard.
Best regards,

Allan Hsu There doesn't seem to be a hifiberry-digi overlay on that TinkerOS image. Are the DIGI boards not supported?
-
HiFiBerry team Hi,
as far as I know, Asus still has problems with the I2S slave mode. Therefore, the Digi+ isn't yet supported and the DAC+ Pro will only run in DAC+ mode without the integrated oscillators. I hope, they can fix this with one of the next updates.
Best regards,

HiFiBerry team I don't think a standard distribution will have the necessary drivers included.

Robin Jansen Where are these distributions listed? On asus.com I can only find ThinkerOS-Debian v1.8 from April 17..

hifi FYI, there is also direct SPDIF output available on the Tinker board.

Erik Stein I was using the Amp2 on a Tinkerboard successfully with Pianoteq, where I select the audio device with direct hardware output. Worked absolutely great. Never got it working with the pulseaudio setup though.
Some days agos (maybe after some very minor system update) the Amp2 is just staying silent. I can see it in the system, select it, use alsamixer to set the volume, but no sound at all. Swapped into a Raspi3 it's working fine, so no hardware issue.
Someone has an idea where to look?
And maybe also a HOWTO on how to get it working as pulseaudio system device? I'd like to run raspotiy on it.
Thx

Ianflitman According to this page:
https://tinkerboarding.co.uk/wiki/index.php?title=QVL#Audio_DAC_.28GPIO_HAT.29
The DAC+ Pro is supported on the Tinkerboard S.
Can you confirm that it indeed works as expected including the low jitter oscillators?
best

mjgraves Does the DAC Pro XLR work on Tinker board? Including Squeezebox emulation?
-
HiFiBerry team Should be, but I'm not aware of the latest software updates from Asus. However, for a Squeezelite player, even the oldest Pi will do the job as this isn't anything that requires a lot of resources

Christoph Krämer Hi all
Got myself a tinkerboard R 2.0. Here is some output:
ls /boot/overlays | grep hifi
hifiberry-dacplus-overlay.dtbo
hifiberry-dacplus-overlay.dtsLater I'll add the output from a Rpi 3B+

hifiberry-dacplus.dtbo
hifiberry-dacplusadc.dtbo

hifiberry-digi-pro.dtbo
hifiberry-digi.dtboSo, apart from the dacplus, no other device seems to be supported :-( !!!
Next step: I'll try to get the sigmatcpservice up on the tinkerboard. I'll be back.

bbortnick Here is my output from a gen1 Tinker Board:
hifiberry-amp.dtbo
hifiberry-dac.dtbo
hifiberry-dacplus.dtbo
hifiberry-digi-pro.dtbo
hifiberry-digi.dtbo
Audio players/volume control does not seem to recognize the Hifiberry, and no sound comes out of it. Any ideas on additional configuration that may be needed?
