I have a R Pi with a Wolfson Audio Card.
Under Raspberry Pi Settings, I have selected the Wolfson Option and saved it. Under Change Sound Output. I have selected the Line Output option and saved it.
After rebooting, the Wolfson Card is shown in the sound card options but the output option is blank.
Under AudioPlayer I have disabled Shairport. There are no Wolfson card options shown.
Sound still comes from the R Pi Headphone Jack.
Have I missed something?

It is the Original Wolfson for the Pi B not the later Cirrus Logic version.
27. April 2016 at 15:35 #19983Hi Sabreur,
The Jessie-Image is not compatible with the old Wolfson Card since it needs a kernel change which would break the Jessie system. Please use one of the Wheezy-based images, e.g. m2p_default_226_wps.img, on our Download page: https://www.max2play.com/en/max2play-image/28. April 2016 at 2:41 #19987I reinstalled everything from scratch with a wheezy image and realised I had been using the wrong driver. I went back to the Jessie version and now that is working, too. Not got time to do any further testing as the day job is calling. I’m going to be away for 10 days or so, I’ll pick this up then but it does look like it was fingure trouble on my part! Sorry for putting you to all this trouble. Let’s hope I can get Kodi running.
Thanks for your help.
4. Juli 2016 at 17:41 #21164I’ve come to the forum for a solution to the same problem. I’m using the CirrusLogic card with v 2.26 of Max2Play on a Pi B+. I have not updated since installing the image. I’ve bought a licence and activated it, installed the advanced Raspberry settings and tried to configure the CirrusLogic soundcard. I have a screen attached and I noticed after saving the Cirrus card under Raspberry settings there’s the following in the log:
[info] Loading kernel module snd-bcm2835.
[ 13.974000] snd-rpi-wsp sound: ASoC: CODEC DAI wm5102-aif1 not registered
[ 14.0164131] snd-rpi-wsp sound: Failed to register card: -517The second two lines then repeated.
When I „Change Soundoutput for Wolfson Audiocard“ and choose „Playback to headset“, then save, I get:
“ amixer: Control hw:sndrpiwsp open error: No such device
…. {repeated 9 times}
Updated Alsa Settings “
Playing a sound file I hear it played through my screen speakers via hdmi, but nothing on my headphones plugged into the Cirrus card.
I know the card is ok as I’ve had it working with HiassofT’s patch for LibreELEC. But I tried the Max2Play image as it promised straightforward functionality with the Cirrus Card, as well as more advanced options. But no such luck in my case.
What next?
5. Juli 2016 at 12:14 #21179Hi nickc,
Firstly, we would recommend that you update your system since it might also include a patch for your issues. Secondly, if that does not change the output, check if your card is in slot 0 or slot 1. You can see this by clicking the debug info in the Audio Player menu. Depending on the cards position, then enter either „hw:0,0“ or „hw:1,0“ in Squeezelite’s command line options.5.

Thanks for your advice. It turns out that the card wasn’t properly seated in its connector strip! Doh! I realised it must be something like that when I tried it again with the LibreELEC image and found it no longer working with that either. Once I got it properly connected again Max2Play recognised it and I was able to configure it successfully, as shown in the logs after each save and reboot.However – I’ve yet to hear any sound from it! I’ve enabled headphone and line out from the card and have headphones plugged into it. I’ve enabled DLNA and am using BubbleUPnP on my android tablet as a controller. BubbleUPnP sees Max2Play DLNA and accepts it as a renderer, but when I play a track from music in my NAS hosted library, there’s no sound in the headphones. It’s getting late now and I’ve only tried the once, so I’ll do some more reading in the forum and try again tomorrow before I post back.
6. Juli 2016 at 12:54 #21254I’m pleased to report that output from the CirrusLogic card now works fine. I don’t know what the problem was last night – possibly an issue with BubbleUPnP or the NAS server, but this morning the sound came rich and sweet from both headphones and line out. Brilliant! Thanks for this software!
