  Dear Pieter,
  
  I know Steen from piCorePlayer had already tested this. However I can't say when he will release a new version. I recommend asking him directly, he might be able to give you even access to a preview.
  
  Best regards

  Hi Pieter

   

  Sorry I don't understand. HifiBerry Amp has been supported in piCorePlayer for a long time already.

  Is it not working for you?

  Regards

  Steen

  Hi,

  indeed it is working for version 1 and version 2 but in the version 3 i can not even select the hiafiberry amp in audio output.

  that is the reason why i ask.

  thx for the quick reply

  Ok I will have a look later today.

   

  Could you please try to select "beta" or "advanced" in the tab at the bottom when you are at the "main" page. 

  Then I think all cards should show on the "Squeezelite" page.

  Please report back.

  Hi Steen,

   

  i have checked and indeed in the beta page i can see the amp.

  What does this mean? i prefer not to have beta running in my home.

  Are there plans to move them from beta to advanced? like in version 2?

  thx for the feedback

  Hi Pieter.

  That is good - you can simply use it from here without any problems or risk.

  The beta switch only expose more options on the web-pages - some might be not very useful, other are experimental, but none of them can damage anything. 

  The drop-down list should only contain the DACs that actually fit to the Raspberry board piCorePlayer is running on. So the DACs available if you are using a RPi1 will be different from those that will show up if you are using a RPi3+. But the beta switch will let you choose all DACs without any filtering.

  I think the problem is that you maybe are using one of the new RPI's version 1.2  and I don't think piCorePlayer can recognize this board.

  So could you please from the "main" page choose "Diagnostics" and on this page select "Raspberry Pi". On this page I'm interested in what you have in the following info:

  Hi, so are you connecting the hifiberry AMP to the rpi with wires?

  Hi Steen,

  there was a HiFiBerry Amp (without the +) also for the old Raspberry Pi 1. We don't sell it anymore, but there a quite some in the wild.

  Best regards,
  Daniel

  Thanks, i forgot that board, so we need to allow this board for the early rpi's as well.

  But good to see that Pieter got it working.

  Regards

  Hi all,

   

  the amp is working in the latest audio version 3.11. i could also install the shair-sync but it never shows up on my i devices.

   

  even after rebooting multiple times.

  So for now i reverted back to version 2.06 where all works fine for now.

  just let me know once it is released and ready in version 3.x
