DAC+ powering off

My DAC+ power light goes off soon after boot. aplay -l gives 'no soundcards found'. Looking at the forums I saw an old post with the same problem, but that was with an old version of volumio. uname -a gives Linux volumio 4.4.14-v7+ #895 SMP.

I2S DAC on volumio system page is volumio+

Any ideas what I can try?

  Hi,

  how does you /boot/config.txt look like? There should be a dt-overlay line. What is configured there?

  Best regards,

  In general this looks good. Can you post the output of

  dmesg | grep -i hifiberry

  Best regards,

  Hi!

  I had some relatives staying with me, therefore the delay

  Thanks for your help so far.

  Hi Paul,

  According to this the DAC+ is configured correctly. You should see it when running "aplay -l" as root.

  Best regards,
  Daniel

  Thanks, I've got it playing web radio. It must have been a problem with playback from my local library, perhaps the hard disk.

  Thank you for your help, it doesn't seem to have been a problem with the DAC after all.
