On my new RPi3 with the new openelec 6.0.3. (kernel 4.1.18), I placed my HifiBerry Digi+ Transformer but I get only a loud cracking sound, what goes wrong?

  Try another OE build. Use for ex. 6.95.3 and all you need is to copy in the cofig.text file after the first boot

  dtoverlay=hifiberry-digi
  dtdebug=1

  and all will be fine.

  Thanks Anca,

  I purchased a new SD Card and used the HifiBerry installer today to build a fresh install of Openelec 6.0.3. My sound via S/PDIF is working perfectly now. I did a backup and restore of the install on my old SD card and that worked fine so that I didn't have to re-configure everything from the beginning again.

  Thanks again for your help!

  Kind Regards,

  Neil

  Hi Neil,

  yes, I did only succeed with the HifiBerry installer to get HifiBerry running without sound distorsion. When using a boot loader to install Raspberry, Openelec in parallel I did not succeed in configuring Openelec without sound distorsion (although following the here indicated advices).

  So best for beginners using Hifiberry, is absolutely use the Hifiberry installer (would have saves me a lot of hours ....).

  Kind regards,

  Klaus

  There is a kernel difference between OE 6.0.3 and OE 6.95.3 and this is why my instructions work on 6.95.3 and not on 6.0.3

  There is a method, other than the installer for 6.0.3 also, but it's a bit more complicated, so, for OE 6.0.3 is easier to stick to the installer.

  Had the same issue

  
  executed

  mount -o remount,rw /flash/

  
  putting fellowing to Config.txt
  ################################################################################
  # HifiBerry Digi+
  ################################################################################

  dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt

  dtoverlay=hifiberry-digi
  dtdebug=1

  ################################################################################

  and then executed

  curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/raspberrypi/firmware/master/boot/overlays/pi3-disable-bt-overlay.dtb -o /flash/overlays/pi3-disable-bt-overlay.dtb

  
  when i edited the file pi3-disable-bt-overlay.dtb located on the pi there was only a text

  Error:404

  That means the file was created by command but it cannot be filled because there was nothing found under the link.

  The solving:

  I copied the file from https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/blob/master/boot/overlays/pi3-disable-bt.dtbo (Button "view Raw" and then "save as") to my notebook and via WinSCP in binary Mode to Openelec.

  
  Done

  That last tip with the '404 not found' was my saviour. Now works like a charm!
