Hi,
First I want to thank you for a cool product!
I have been struggling with my setup for a week or so.
Im running raspbmc and followed the instructions to update kernel and RASPBMC configuration. I am able to get the sound working and sounds great on my external dac and passive ELAC AM180.
Now in XBMC i've got the problem of not being able to install any xbmc-addons after updating the linux kernel. I've searched the net and tried almost all suggested solutions. I guess the problem is something about the curl module. I'm reinstalling once more the I'll post the XBMC log. I know im connected to the internet cause i can ping www.google.com.
When i use the default raspbmc image I can install add-ons and do youtube streaming, but only with audio from the onboard analog jack...:(
The only way i have been able to get sound using DIGI+ is to update kernel..and then i cant use XBMC addons.
Do you guys know if raspbmc kernel drivers are gonna include DIGI+ in the future?
Best regards

HiFiBerry team Hi Nels,
Sam from Raspbmc told us he will integrate the driver in the next release. As he is doing this in his free time, it might take a bit.
However I'm surprise that the kernel upgrade break some XBMC functionality. OpenElec is using the standard kernel and this seems to work well. I would post this in the Raspbmc forum. Maybe some of the XBMC cracks have an idea why this happens.
Best regards

tiroytr Hi Nels,
The basic question to ask is if you really need capabilities of Raspbmc, that aims to be not only media center, but some kind of PC replacement capable of running bitorrent client, SMB/NFS servers and god know what else.
If not, then you should consider some other distro, like OpenELEC, which is provided preconfigured here. I was trying to get DIGI+ working with no success since over a week. After I verified my board is OK & working fine, but still can't make Raspbmc cooperationg I gave up, tried OpenELEC and I think I will stick with it for a longer time.
Cheers
