Giampaolo Gatti Hello,
I just received my Hifiberry DAC, I might refer to the specific options "filter", "P3" and "I2S" on the PCB?
thanks -
HiFiBerry team Hi Gianpaolo,
the P3 connector gives you access to the 5V power supply of the Raspberry Pi. It can be used to power the Raspberry or to supply 5V to other devices.
The "filter" jumper can be used to change the filter characteristics of the DAC output. It is explained here: http://www.crazy-audio.com/2013/10/changing-the-output-filter-characteristics-of-the-hifiberry-mini-dac/
Don't expect a big difference, it's even possible that you don't hear any difference.
The I2S connector can be used to use the HiFiBerry DAC not with the Raspberry Pi, but other devices with an I2S output - this is for hackers!
Best regards

Giampaolo Gatti Hello
I have a problem .... I have done all the steps that are mentioned in various forums ... I tried to read them all to find a solution but can not find it!
I esguito firmware upgrade successfully!
but when I check in the file
etc / modules
I can not find anything written!
and if I try to write and then save the file tells me that the file does not exist!
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8280408/hifiberry.zip -
Norbert Bebensee did you start from root directory, so "/etc/modules"? -
Giampaolo Gatti one use terminal ssh root login and password volumio, then I type sudo nano etc / modules but in the window that appears (empty) ... I try to write but when I go to save will not let me! -
Klaus Hi, did you type "etc/modules" without the permier slash (should look like: /etc/modules)?
In Volumio try this (e.g. copy and paste in console, it is one command):cat >/etc/modules <<EOF
snd_soc_bcm2708
snd_soc_bcm2708_i2s
bcm2708_dmaengine
snd_soc_pcm5102a
snd_soc_hifiberry_dac
EOF
do a reboot (e.g. sudo reboot)
http://volumio.org/forum/hifiberry-webgui-t253.html#p1040 -
Giampaolo Gatti Sorry!
I forgot the slash!
Now I copied as indicated, and in the file "/etc/modules/" ,and verified, it is so written!snd_soc_bcm2708
snd_soc_bcm2708_i2s
bcm2708_dmaengine
snd_soc_pcm5102a
snd_soc_hifiberry_dac
Now from the "Menu playback" of Volumio can set audio output "sndrpihifiberry" ..... but the RCA outputs but no sound comes out!
Many many thanks!! -
HiFiBerry team Dear Giampaolo,
as Volumio 1.1 has some problems with I2S, I'm not sure, if it is only a configuration issue or modules are missing.
I recommend installing Volumio Beta 1 at the moment.
You can also run our simple test script, that you can find here: http://www.hifiberry.com/products/dac/hifiberry-dac-software/ (at the end of the page).
This might help debugging your problem.
Best regards

Giampaolo Gatti Dear Daniel
I have done what you told me kindly recommended, I installed the Volumio beta 1, then I run the firmware update as shown in the various forums, I have compiled the file 'etc/modules' as required .... Volumio sees my nas. ok .. this all seems.
But no sound comes out from DAC!
that may be the case that you send back the piece to control it? -
HiFiBerry team Yes, you can send it back for a check. But let's start with the Volumio configuration. Have you enabled "I2S DAC" in the settings and rebooted? -
Giampaolo Gatti thanks
before sending the piece to control it, I wanted to share with you what I know in the behavior of the "DAC and Volumio."
This evening I switched on and then I checked the file "/etc/modules/" and it was as requested, then I switched to I2S Volumio made to reboot.
After I checked the file again ... but it's different!snd_soc_bcm2708
snd_soc_bcm2708_i2s
bcm2708_dmaengine
snd_soc_pcm5102a
snd_soc_rpi_pcm5102a
Volumio and I can not select any output.
I am attaching the screen shots I've done.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/829v97tm9egunvq/Boot% 20sequence.pdf
Many thanks to the cooperation and patience! -
HiFiBerry team Are you using Volumio beta 1 or Beta 1.1? For Volumio Beta 1 the output looks ok. Or is it beta 1.1?
If you cannot select any output in Volumio, it is a software, not a hardware problem. -
Giampaolo Gatti Of course I followed his advice! I used the Beta1 version.
then I run the updates as indicated in the forum.
Whether it's a hardware or software problem I do not know, but it was never released by the DAC no sound! -
HiFiBerry team Please run "aplay -l" from command line and post the output. -

HiFiBerry team Hi Giampaolo,
that's what I expected. It is a software/configuration problem. I'm not sure, why it is not loading the device driver correctly. I can try to help here, but I would recommend to ask this also in the Volumio support forum, as the Volumio developers might have an idea how to fix it.
Can you also post the output of "dmesg"?
Best regards

Giampaolo Gatti Finally, I feel the music!
in forum Volumio showed me the right sequence ...birca1987 wrote:
First activate it on volumio gui, and after that edit modules and reboot -
Giampaolo Gatti 1000 thanks for the help! -
HiFiBerry team Your welcome. It's good to hear that it works now :-) Enjoy your music with HiFiBerry. -
H Scheunemann Hi,
I had the same problem. Using volumio Beta 1.1. I solved the problem by adding the line "snd_soc_hifiberry_dac" to "/etc/modules".
Now it works fine -
Steve Simon Hi,
Sorry to have to report that the 8 way, female IDC header supplied with my hifi berry did not solder well.
It is as though the pns are contaminated with somting and the solder would not wet to them.
I have done a lot of soldering over the years and use a temperature controlled iron and multicore 22 gauge solder; I am a professional electronics design engineer.
I am not really complaining and am happy to get a new header myself just reporting that you might have received a bad batch of headers. The male header cause no problems at all.

jimpatator Hi,
The quite bad:
Concerning my order Order: #2563 : the "Mechanical components: Nylon spacer + screw, " are missing. I did not find a dedicated support access for this kind of stuff that should not appear in such forum? could you send me that? thanks
The good:
I just received my Hifiberry. Thanks because for a small cost It gives really good sound. And it is plug&play. I'll probably install new sets in other rooms.
I am evaluating Volumio. Abstract: It Works well.
But, the auto setup for Hifiberry (WebUI) does not work. It is necessary to follow your instructions and add manualy "snd_soc_hifiberry_dac" in /etc/modules. Meanwhile "snd_soc_bcm2708" and "snd_soc_rpi_pcm5102a" are "not found" at boot time???
More ...
Activating replay gain in in /etc/mpd.conf works well.
replaygain "album"
replaygain_preamp "0"
Now I am looking for a "player" (flac) that could crossfade tracks (a smart one with silence dettection...). Somebody knows if raspberry+mpd could do that?
Thanks again.

HiFiBerry team Hi JJ,
I'll send you the missing spacer.
If everything works well, just remove the missing modules from /etc/modules.
Best regards

Klaus Now I am looking for a “player” (flac) that could crossfade tracks (a smart one with silence dettection…). Somebody knows if raspberry+mpd could do that?
At least with GMPC, a mpd-client, you can do that. menu --> music --> preferences --> server settings -
Benso Bruins Hi,
I have been struggling to get the Hifiberry DAC working all day. First I had the booting problem with the P1 header connected. After removing that, running rpi-update, and modifying /etc/modules I do get Volumio beta 1 to recognize Hifiberry DAC, but there is no sound. Voltages across P3 and C10, C12 are normal. Can you help me out here, please?
Regards,

HiFiBerry team Hi Benso,
ok, software configuration seems to be ok. It could be a hardware problem. We need to check the board. Can you please send us an email to info@crazy-audio.com. We will arrange a return.
Best regards
Daniel
