Raspberry doesn't recognize Hifiberry anymore

Hello everyone,

I hope you can help me as I am pretty frustrated. I soldered the Hifiberry and everything worked even though I didn't quite solder it perfectly.
So yesterday my friend who is a lot better at soldering corrected everything a little bit and now the Raspberry doesn't recognize the DAC anymore.
Do you know what might be going wrong? I'm using Volumio 1.1.

Thanks

  Here's a picture of the P5-Header if that helps to identify the problem.

  The same Volumio installation worked before? I know, that Volumio 1.1 had a bug.
  Are you sure this is not a software problem?
  
  Otherwise check the connection between each pin on the Raspberry Pi and the corresponding pin on DAC with a multimeter.
  
  Best regards

  Well I assume that when using aplay -l, it should still show it even if there is a bug in Volumio, right?

  No, if /etc/modules is not correct, aplay -l will not list the card. If the card is not shown in the aplay output, this is not a hardware, but a software problem.

  The file is set correctly. I'll have my friend resolder it again tomorrow, I think that#s where the problem lies.

  Does aplay -l list the card?
  
  If yes, it is most likely a solder problem. If not, then it is not a hardware problem.

  I got it working again on Volumio 1.3 Beta. My AirPlay icon does not show up though. I realise this is not a Hifiberry Problem.

  I switched back to Volumio 1.1 in order to get AirPlay to work again. Now the AirPlay icon shows up again. But aplay -l gets me "aplay: device_list:252: no soundcards found..." even though the modules file is correct. What is going wrong? :(

  Forgotten to enable I2S in the webUI of volumino after switching back?

  No I've enabled it. When deactivating it, aplay -l shows me the integrated soundcard.

  If aplay -l only show the internal sound card the Kernel is wrong or /etc/modules.
  Volumio 1.1 had a bug, try the 1.2 release. Also a fixed 1.3 release will be available soon, Michelangelo thinks he knows why Airplay is not working anymore.

  Finally, 1.2 works like a Champ with AirPlay and the hifiberry!
