Hi,

Hardware
RPi Rev B with Hifiberry Digi

Software
Squeezeplug (with max2play built in)
sqeeuzebox server running on Synology


when i play a stream the sound only comes from the onboard sound-output, and not via the digital connections.
on the hifiberry board i can see the green led, but the optical-out doesnt light up. (it schould be a red light right?)

  You might need to disable the onboard sound in /etc/modules.
  Also check the output of aplay -l to see if the Digi is configured correctly.

  # /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
  #
  # This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
  # at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.
  # Parameters can be specified after the module name.
  
  snd-bcm2835

  Yes, just put an # in front of the snd-bcm2835
  
  Then run aplay -l as root and check if the HiFiBerry Digi is listed as the only sound card.

  Sure, you have to login to the system first. You can do this over the network with SSH or you connect a monitor and keyboard to the Raspberry Pi and do it on the system.

  Looks like the HiFiBerry Digi is not configured correctly. What distribution are you using and how did you configure it?
  Please post the output auf "uname -a"

  Yes, you need to configure the drivers. This is documented here:
