Hey. I have tried to configure the hifiberry digi with my raspberry pi several times, but with no luck.

I use raspbian wheezy with kernel 3.18, so i've added the following in /boot/config.txt

dtoverlay=hifiberry-digi
dtdebug=1

and made sure the onboard soundcard was not present in /etc/modules.

However the hifiverry digi soundcard does not load.. I have the following output from dmesg:

[    8.068549] snd-hifiberry-digi sound: ASoC: CPU DAI (null) not registered
[    8.205633] snd-hifiberry-digi sound: snd_soc_register_card() failed: -517

and vcdbg log msg shows the following output:

  Hi,
  
  please check first that the hardware is working. The easiest way is our test image from here:
  https://www.hifiberry.com/guides/sd-card-images/
  
  This should output a test tone.
  
  Best regards

  Hey Daniel..
  
  The test-image did not work for me. It says: "unexpected inconsistency, run fsck manually" when i boot, and i cannot do that cause i dont have the root password. I tried to flash it twice. Same error. Then i tried the image "Raspbian with automatic detection", but that wrongly detected it to be dacplus..

  Hi,
  
  you are 100% sure you have a Digi+, not a DAC+? It sound a bit strange when the autodetection detects a DAC+ and you have a Digi+.
  The test image should work fine. If there are inconsistencies, it could be a problem with the SD card.
  
  Best regards

  Hello, there seems to have a problem. when I start my Raspberry Pi B+ on Volumio, everything goes well. I put out, I plug the HiFi berry digi + and I re started. Nothing. On raspb +, the green LED above the mico SD card is not flashing, it remains extinguished: no dialogue between the micro SD card and my raspb. On the digi + The green LED is illuminated. I put out, I unplug the card digi + I re START, everything goes well.
  It:s the same with "https://www.hifiberry.com/guides/sd-card-images/"
  Can you help me?

  Hi Antonie,
  
  this looks like a completely different problem. In your case, it could be a power supply problem. Do you have another power supply to test?

  Hello
  Thank you for answering quickly, but it does not work either:
  My first power supply is Aukru power 5V - 2A
  My second is Connectland 5V 2.4A + 1A (it works well on my iPad first generation)
  The problem remains identical on Volumio and on your débian: on Rasp B +, the red LED that indicates the tention is on, the green LED once flashes one time at the beggining then remains faded.The LED on the Digi Carde stay on
  Cordially

  Hi Antoine,
  
  this looks like a hardware problem - on the Digi or on the Raspberry Pi. If you don't have another Raspberry Pi, you can send us the board and we will test it here.
  
  Best regards

  Hello.
  Yes, It'looks like a hardware problem . I am thus going to dismiss you the card for exchange. At what mailing address? Has t it a particular procedure there?
