Dac2 HD not loading Pi5

My new 8gb Pi5 won't recognise the Dac2 HD card. I've updated and upgraded Bookworm on the Pi5. The Dac2 HD card is recognised on my Pi4 running Bullseye (but it doesn't work with the Pi4 and Bookworm). 

dtoverlay=hifiberry-dacplushd
force_eeprom_read=0

Also tried:
dtoverlay=hifiberry-dacplushd,slave

Apart from above the Pi5 /boot/config.txt is as default.

But always;
sudo aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: vc4hdmi0 [vc4-hdmi-0], device 0: MAI PCM i2s-hifi-0 [MAI PCM i2s-hifi-0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: vc4hdmi1 [vc4-hdmi-1], device 0: MAI PCM i2s-hifi-0 [MAI PCM i2s-hifi-0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

Also tried;
/etc/asound.conf;
pcm.!default {
  type hw card 0
}
ctl.!default {
  type hw card 0

To no effect.

I would be very grateful for any information.

  You need to disable all onboard and HDMI sound, otherwise all cards that run in I2S master mode - as the DAC2 HD won't work. This is a limitation of the Pi5's audio interface that can only run in master or slave mode, but not mixed.

  Thanks. How do I disable all onboard and HDMI sound? Do I need to add a new instruction?

  My /boot/config.txt;

  # For more options and information see
  # http://rpf.io/configtxt
  # Some settings may impact device functionality. See link above for details

  # uncomment if you get no picture on HDMI for a default "safe" mode
  #hdmi_safe=1

  # uncomment the following to adjust overscan. Use positive numbers if console
  # goes off screen, and negative if there is too much border
  #overscan_left=16
  #overscan_right=16
  #overscan_top=16
  #overscan_bottom=16

  # uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display's size minus
  # overscan.
  #framebuffer_width=1280
  #framebuffer_height=720

  # uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output
  #hdmi_force_hotplug=1

  # uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)
  #hdmi_group=1
  #hdmi_mode=1

  # uncomment to force a HDMI mode rather than DVI. This can make audio work in
  # DMT (computer monitor) modes
  #hdmi_drive=2

  # uncomment to increase signal to HDMI, if you have interference, blanking, or
  # no display
  #config_hdmi_boost=4

  # uncomment for composite PAL
  #sdtv_mode=2

  #uncomment to overclock the arm. 700 MHz is the default.
  #arm_freq=800

  # Uncomment some or all of these to enable the optional hardware interfaces

  When I do sudo raspi-config->system->audio it says 'No internal devices found'.

  I have;

  #dtparam=audio=on

  dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d,noaudio

  I assume that dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d,noaudio is supposed to disable onboard sound.

  When I do aplay -l it says;

  card 0: vc4hdmi0 [vc4-hdmi-0], device 0: MAI PCM i2s-hifi-0 [MAI PCM i2s-hifi-0]
    Subdevices: 1/1
    Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
  card 1: vc4hdmi1 [vc4-hdmi-1], device 0: MAI PCM i2s-hifi-0 [MAI PCM i2s-hifi-0]
    Subdevices: 1/1
    Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

  Alsamixer says "Item: Master"

  Is there anything more that I should do? I keep updating and upgrading. 

  Should the Dac Plus HD work with Pi5?

  Yes, but something is wrong in your setup. 
  
  That's what I have here:
  

  dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d,noaudio
  dtoverlay=hifiberry-dacplushd

  aplay -l:
  
  

  **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
  card 0: sndrpihifiberry [snd_rpi_hifiberry_dacplushd], device 0: HiFiBerry DAC+ HD HiFi pcm179x-hifi-0 [HiFiBerry DAC+ H
  D HiFi pcm179x-hifi-0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

  You might have another line configuring the graphics driver with audio activated. You can also try completely removing this line (GUI probably won't work anymore in this case).

  Very sorry. I reimaged and it's fine now. Stupid of me.
