hi,

today my hifiberry arrived.
unfortunately, it is not working.
i soldered everything and made the correct entries in /etc/modules.

aplay -l gives me:

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: sndrpihifiberry [snd_rpi_hifiberry_dac], device 0: HifiBerry DAC HiFi pcm5102a-hifi-0 []
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

i booted with the test image, but no sound is played.
is there anything else i could do?

thanks, mok

  Hi,
  
  please check the soldering in the P5 connector. As our board have been tested, the risk of a hardware defect is very low (but still possible). However, we heard from some customers that had problems with the solder connections on the P5 header. Please check every connection with a multimeter.
  
  Best regards
  Daniel

  hi daniel, thanks for your quick reply.
  
  i checked the soldering and did some improvements.
  now sound is going out, but with lots of noise, craacking etc.
  could this be because of not enough soldering on the RCA connectors?
  
  thanks again and sorry to bother you!
