clivem Assuming the patch has been applied to the kernel you are using, you just add "no_sby" and "no_pdn" to the dtoverlay line in /boot/config.txt to fully disable power management. (You probably only really need the no_pdn, which stops the charge pump for the output stage being disabled. That's the cause of the noise you hear 5 seconds after stopping playback.) ie.
dtoverlay=hifiberry-dacplus,no_sby,no_pdn

clivem I'm not sure whether this still works.... It used to. Create /etc/modprobe.d/snd_soc_core_disable_pm.conf with the contents:
options snd_soc_core pmdown_time=-1

Hi all,
When the Dac receives no input it appears to power down resulting in earth hum through the speakers. This noise also appears approx 5 seconds after a track is paused. The noise instantly cuts out when a track is played.
Having read the below thread i believe that this is caused by the power save feature of the dac chip. I would like to inhibit this power saving behavior. I note that a patch has been posted in the aforementioned thread but I am unsure if it has been implemented in Hifiberryos or how to enable the feature.
Please could someone advise? Is there a dev kernel I can install perhaps?
I am running the latest version of Hifiberryos
