Hi!

I just boght a used Hifiberry DAC + Pro so I can get to upgrade the sound quality on my Raspberry Pi 3 Model B.

The thing is that I can't get any sound from the RAC outputo to my amplifier. 

I already try a few different SO as:

• Volumio (current and older -2.917- versions)
• RuneAudio
• HifiberryOS
• piCorePlayer

At this point I also tried different connectors and different PSU (5V-3A).

I can't get any led working on the hifiberry board (Hifiberry DAC+ HW2.6)

I've been playing with the /boot/config.txt and reading some posts that should work, but nothing does. At least, HifiberryOS should work without any tric, right?

Is there any way to check if the board is broken? Is there anyone that have one of this boards currently working?

Regards!

  What sound card does HiFiBerryOS show?

  On the diagnosis screen I get this info:

  This shows that the hardware isn't detected. It can be a problem with the Pi, the DAC+ or the connection between both. You can try unplugging/replugging the crad or also try another Pi. Also make sure, no other hardware is connected to the GPIOs.

  Thanks for your help. I'll try to get another raspberry. Meanwhile, is there any point where you can recomend me to check the voltage on the HIfiberry card?

  No, checking any voltages on the DAC won't really help.

  Hi! I just plug the DAC in a Raspberry Pi 2. Looks the same, right?

  Yes, it's still not detected. Might be a hardware problem.
