Hello,
Today my Hifiberry Digi+ arrived! :) I will use it to connect my AVR on it and play streams with OpenElec on my Raspberry Pi 2 model B. I Think I setup everything correctly (used this tutorial: https://www.hifiberry.com/guides/configuring-the-sound-card-in-openelec-with-device-tree-overlays/) and set in in OpenElec the audio output to the SPDIF from the DIgi+. However, I get no sound at all. I noticed the SPDIF output isn't giving a red light either.
I also tested the Test Tone image (https://www.hifiberry.com/guides/sd-card-images/) and I still get no sound, neither do I see the red light from the SPDIF output. :( I get this warning too: warn alsa can't encode 0-bit unknown or not applicable.
Is there something wrong with the hardware of the Digi+? The green led on the Digi+ is working though..
Can anybody help me?

Jordi Rebollo Salvador Hi Fabien, I have the same issue with rpi2 + Digi+. Green led on but red light on connector off. I think is a hardware problem with the latest cards or rpi2... -
HiFiBerry team HI,
what sound card does the test image show?
While we know that the board is working with the Raspberry Pi 2 in general, it it possible that there is an incompatibility with specific boards. We have to test these boards here in our lab.
Can you please return the Digi+ boards to our Swiss office:
Modul 9 GmbH
Bachmattstr. 14
CH-8932 Mettmenstetten
Best regards
Daniel

Fabien van Gendt Hi Daniel,
I think the Pi 2 recognises the card correctly. I made a screenshot: http://imgur.com/NubtXge -
HiFiBerry team Ok, this looks good so far. Do I understand this correctly: The TOSLink does not light up? Have you also tested the RCA output? Does this one work?
Best regards
Daniel -
Fabien van Gendt Yes you understand it correctly. Tried it right now with the RCA output, and that one works. -
HiFiBerry team Ok, this looks like the optical transmitter has been damaged. I'm very sorry for this. We will replace the board.
Please send it back to us. You will find the address here:

Fabien van Gendt That's unfortunate. :(
It is no problem for me to return it, but I don't really want to pay the shipping costs. If I return it to your German office, can I get a refund for the HifiBerry + shipping costs?
If so, then I can buy another HifiBerry immidiately at a reseller shop in the Netherlands, so I don't have to wait. -
HiFiBerry team Dear Fabien,
yes, we can do this. I'm sorry for this problem.
Best regards

Fabien van Gendt Hi Daniel,
I am not sure what to fill in here: 'order number', as I bought the Digi+ at a reseller in the Netherlands (Kiwi Electronics). -
HiFiBerry team Hi Fabien,
in this case, please return it to you dealer. He will replace it. We can't give any refund for orders that haven't been placed in our online shop.
Best regards
Daniel
