Hello

Just received my Digi+ and trying to make it work on my Raspberry pi 2, but I can't seem to succeed.

First time on this system so ...

Is there a step by step configuration, the one here seems not to be enough for me, sorry

Thanks in advance

  Do you use a Raspberry 1 or 2?
  For the RPI2 use this guide:
  https://www.hifiberry.com/guides/configuring-the-sound-card-in-openelec-with-device-tree-overlays/
  
  For Raspoberry Pi 1 the device tree overlay still doesn't work, you have to use the old configuration scheme as shown here:

  Thanks for your reply.
  
  I have the RPI2.
  
  The led on DIGI+ is green.
  
  Open the ssh
  
  Type mount -o remount,rw /flash - OK
  
  Edit config.txt - Can't find this file, created one
  
  then reboot and nothing happens
  
  Thanks

  Are you sure you edited /flash/config.txt ? There should be one.
  
  After editing the file, you should shutdown the system, not just remove the power. The file may not be written to the SD card, if you just remove the power.
  
  What do you mean by "nothing happens"?
  
  Best regards

  Hello
  
  here is what I have Done ( I have found config.txt):
  
  Openelec 5.0.7
  
  enter ssh
  Login
  
  OpenELEC:~ # mount -o remount,rw /flash
  OpenELEC:~ # nano /flash/config.txt
  
  "Edit File" and add:
  
  # dtoverlay=hifiberry-digi
  # dtdebug=1
  
  ^X
  
  Yes
  
  OpenELEC:~ # mount -o remount,ro /flash
  OpenELEC:~ # reboot
  
  After this on Kodi go to settings/system/audio
  
  On Audio Output there is only 3 options:
  
  HDMI
  Analogue
  HDMI and Analog
  
  Go again to config.txt and the changes are there.
  
  Any special place to put them?
  
  Thanks

  You need to enable passthrough in the settings and enable DTS and Dolby Digital output in the export settings (you need to enable expert settings first).
