Hello,
I just want to share a brief report of my first installation of RaspBian and your sound card. Hope it could help someone.
1. Download RaspBian image and write it to a microSD card. Using the terminal in my Mac OS X 10.6.8:
sudo dd if=2015-11-21-raspbian-jessie-lite.img of=/dev/sda<memory_device_number>
2. Start the Raspberry, hook it up to an ethernet port of the router and reserve a specific IP address for Raspberry MAC address.
Use the above IP address to connect to the Raspberry:
ssh pi@<raspberry_ip_address>
password: <default is "raspberry">
3. Update the software and install missing packets:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get install mplayer rpi-update
4. Configure Raspbian settings using the TUI tool:
sudo raspi-config
5. Modify the last rows of /boot/config.txt as follows:
##comment the following line
#dtparam=audio=on
##add the following line
dtoverlay=hifiberry-dacplus
6. Create /etc/asound.conf :
sudo nano /etc/asound.conf
and add the following text:
pcm.!default {
type hw card 0
}
ctl.!default {
type hw card 0
}
Exit (Ctrl+X) and save (Y, then Enter).
7. Reboot:
sudo reboot
8. I now tested the outputs using mplayer and AIFF files.
Volume is quite loud for my monitors line-in levels, so I open
alsamixer
and turn down the “Analogue” stereo channel to 0% (-6dB).
Sounds good!
I'll post updates as soon as I have time to work with Raspberry and HiFiBerry.
Cheers!
Giovanni
