Hi Daniel
Been using my amp+ set up for a while now with no real issues (odd reboot needed but nothing much) but the other day i went to turn on some music and the pi was dead. .no sign of it in router,no ssh...nothing.
I reload the latest max2play Hifiberrry image and got it working again on no time (which was brilliant) however this am the same dead pi was there to great me.
Connected to lan to check it Wasn't the wifi but it's not booting at all. .the green light flashes once or twice on boot and then just the red.
It seems like the sd card is being corrupted but not sure why or how to diagnose.
Psu is a toshiba laptop 16v (or more..could be 19v)
Haven't tried pi without amp+ but will do that tonight but do you have any advice on diagnostic checks?

HiFiBerry team Hi,
SD card corruption happens rarely, but it can happen. Do you have any USP peripherals connected to the Raspberry Pi?
With the full version of Max2Play, you have the option to mount the file system read-only. This will reduce the risk of SD card corruption.
Best regards

atinkler Hi Daniel
Thanks for that .. I'll set that up next time for sure!
I have a TLINK USB wifi adapter attached
Does that make any difference? -
HiFiBerry team A WiFi adapter should not be a problem. Having power-hungry USB devices can be a problem, as the power from the Amp is limited. But a WiFi adapter need only around 100mA, no problem with this.
Best regards

atinkler Thanks. .in which case I'll try again this evening (after I've checked the pi without the amp) and set it to read only.
Fingers crossed it's a blip -
atinkler HI Daniel
Hopefully all good now I have formated the sd card correctly! -
atinkler HI Daniel
So wasted an evening of my life because I didn't have my card formatted correctly! .. oh well live and learn.
However, the new Max2PLay hifiberry image seems to have problems with the EQ - have you used this image?
I've tried to change the EQ to extremes to check that I'm just missing slight changes but I'm now 100% sure the EQ isnt working on my set up
Can you please let me know if you have seen this problem too?
I did install SD Protector - I'm not sure if that is messing things up? I tried to uninstall SDP but it's not making any difference -
atinkler Daniel can you let me know if you've tried this image with the amp+ and have a working EQ?
I'm not sure where best to post this and try and find a solution so let me know if you think Max2play would be the better place to chat about this
Cheers -
HiFiBerry team Hi,
no, we did not test it with the Amp. For Max2Play specific issues, you should contact directly the Max2Play developers. They can troubleshoot this with you.
Best regards
Daniel
