Hi there,

I recently received my Hifiberry DAC+ Pro, using it with Openelec 6.0.0 (linux kernel 4.1.12). I used the Hifiberry Installer to get the RPI2 recognising the board, using gold plated RCA cables to connect to AUX on the Bose 321 2.1 soundsystem: http://worldwide.bose.com/productsupport/en_us/web/321gs_series2/page.html

Here's my settings:



As you can see, passthrough output is greyed out and stuck on "PI: HDMI"

If passthrough is enabled, when I playback most of my video, there's no audio. If I increase the audio on the actual TV (ie via HDMI) there is horrible white noise.

Kind regards,

  Hi David,

  sometimes people see problems with passthrough audio. Unfortunately we are not Kodi developers, therefore we can't debug this kind of problems. I recommend directly asking the OpenElec developers and users in the OpenElec forum. Some developer and/or Kodi user might have an idea what you can do about it.

  Best regards

  Hi Daniel,
  
  But I'm using your 'Hifiberry Installer' image...?

  Hi David,

  the image installed by the HiFiBerry installer is just a standard OpenElec. The only difference to the "normal" image is that the config.txt file gets configured automatically. 
  
  Best regards
